Edgar Public Safety and Healthcare Solutions, LLC
Bringing experts to those with limited resources in an affordable and scalable platform.
Vision
Our vision is to help small to medium sized public safety agencies and healthcare delivery systems improve their operations and outcomes by providing expert consulting services. We are committed to delivering customized solutions that meet the unique needs of our clients, utilizing experienced industry professionals at a cost within your budget.
​
Mission
Put simply, our vision is to help fill the gaps that our team members have seen in public safety and the healthcare delivery system throughout the expansive years in the industry. Understanding public safety, healthcare, government systems, elected officials and politics is essential when developing solutions. We have found that small to medium sized organizations may not have the resources or experience to navigate a complex system, especially when the system doesn't operate or get regulated with consideration of size or budget.
The team of experts have been assembled from throughout the United States and are people who share the vision of helping to fill the gaps to benefit the public we serve. Our team has experience with law enforcement, fire operations, EMS, communications, alternate healthcare delivery models, nursing, government relations, board/city council management, accreditation, unions, major event/disaster management, planning, and public speaking.
