What we specialize in and our services

Crime Reduction Strategies

We can assist you in analyzing your agency's existing resources and harnessing technology as crucial components in developing an effective crime reduction strategy for your community. El Matador Consulting has a proven track record of implementing successful strategies across various cities. Our expertise will help you optimize your resources to achieve the best possible outcomes and ensure lasting success

Recruiting & Retention

One of the most significant challenges facing law enforcement leaders today is effectively filling vacant police officer positions with qualified candidates while also retaining experienced personnel. We can help identify internal obstacles and provide recommendations to enhance your recruitment efforts through a range of successful strategies and targeted campaigns.

Crisis Management & Communication

A single negative or mishandled incident can significantly undermine trust within the community and erode positive momentum. The way information is communicated and delivered is crucial following any critical event. With decades of experience collaborating with media and community partners, we are equipped to guide you through these challenges, fostering support and civility in even the most volatile situations.

Agency Wellness


Wellness is a critical issue for law enforcement that encompasses far more than just physical and mental health. We can assess your current wellness program and provide enhancement recommendations, or we can help you implement a comprehensive program designed to improve mental well-being, foster a positive outlook, promote longevity, and support a healthier lifestyle for all employees.

Executive Transitioning

Transitioning leadership roles between agencies, cities, or states presents unique challenges. Police chiefs, in particular, require significant support and guidance during this process. Leveraging our team's extensive experience navigating these transitions, we offer comprehensive support, including feedback, advice, and 24/7 availability to ease the transition.

Speaking Engagements

We offer dynamic speakers for keynote addresses, motivational talks, inspirational speeches, and subject matter expertise. Our speakers deliver engaging presentations, and we also provide instruction on effective public information delivery through media. Contact us to discuss your specific needs.

Training & Leadership Development

Law enforcement professionals undergo extensive and continuous training, encompassing legal updates, policy changes, evolving policing strategies, and new theories. El Matador Consulting provides access to top training professionals specializing in leadership development, mental health awareness, crisis communication, alternative response models for mental health calls, and other critical areas. We offer engaging and impactful training and motivational programs designed to enhance your team's performance and morale.

Technology & Software Development


The law enforcement technology landscape is rapidly evolving, with constant advancements in software, operating systems, and related products. El Matador Consulting helps agencies leverage technology to improve efficiency and effectiveness. We provide expert guidance on selecting and implementing software solutions that directly benefit officers in the field.
