About.

We firmly believe that we should bring our whole selves to our work and that our departments and communities should be places to grow and thrive both personally and professionally.

Established in 2012

Deep Blue Compass is the culmination of two decades of law enforcement and educational theory put into real life practice.  We are dedicated to helping our brothers and sisters broaden the lens in which we see our society so that we can engage in, partner with and communicate with the citizens we serve in meaningful ways.

Our Goal

Our goal is to be forward thinking with comprehensive solutions to bridging the gap between law enforcement and the communities they serve.   ​
