Finding and cultivating
great police leaders is all we do.
BOUTIQUE FIRM BENEFITS:
INNOVATIVE. TRANSPARENT. INCLUSIVE. COLLABORATIVE.
Our team includes former police chiefs who have more than 60 years of combined public sector leadership and recruiting experience.
Our extensive national network of police leaders helps us to identify highly qualified candidates. This network includes our affiliation with associations that seek to advance police executives from traditionally underrepresented groups.
Public Sector Search & Consulting believes the police executive search process should be inclusive and transparent. In every project, we provide our clients with many options and a framework to incorporate stakeholders (the community, clergy, employee, and advocacy groups) into their search.
Boutique-Style Approach, Personalized Service
We're different from other recruiting firms because we offer a more personalized approach.
At PSSC, we purposefully limit the number of searches we undertake to ensure each client receives outstanding customer service. Our recruiter is your sole point of contact and will lead the search from start to finish. We have fewer management layers and open and direct communications, which helps us streamline your search.
with the ideal blend of public- and private-sector experience.
Our track record speaks

Working with a true professional such as Gary gave me confidence in the entire hiring process. Gary was able to convey information promptly and accurately, and his overall demeanor helped me excel in my presentation. Gary brought out the best I could give.
Had it not been for Gary Peterson recruiting me for the position of Chief of Police for the San Francisco Police Department, I would not have applied. I found Gary to be a very professional, open, and honest executive recruiter. Additionally, he maintained outstanding communication with me throughout the application process.
