You've seen what happens when agencies bring in consultants who've never worn the uniform
- or vendors who've never navigated a procurement cycle, a city council, or a critical incident at 2am.
The advice sounds right. In reality it falls apart.
Luxhill Group exists because that gap is real, and costly. Our foundation is the experience of having led from the front in law enforcement and from the inside at companies like Microsoft, shaping public safety technology strategy at scale with some of the largest agencies and technology partners in the industry.
That means when you bring us in, you're not educating your consultant on how your world works. You're working with someone who already knows where modernization efforts stall, which technology promises don't survive contact with the field, and how to navigate the people and politics that no vendor roadmap ever accounts for.
But technology is only part of the equation. The agencies that modernize successfully don't just adopt better tools — they develop better leaders. That's why leadership development sits at the core of everything we do at Luxhill. From first-line supervisors navigating the weight of accountability to executives managing change in politically charged environments, we build the kind of leaders who can carry an agency forward — not just survive the next crisis.
Time away from the field is one of your agency's most limited resources. Training has to earn it.
We design integrated training programs that develop leaders, strengthen officer resilience, build technology confidence, and sharpen practical skills without wasting time away from the job. Each program stands on its own, and seamlessly adapts as your agency’s mission, environment, and priorities evolve.
Your agency shouldn't have to be anyone's proof of concept.
Don't navigate the complexities of Digital Transformation alone.
We help you cut through vendor noise, build a realistic technology roadmap, and manage implementation in a way that accounts for how your agency actually operates. The goal isn't transformation for its own sake- it's technology that works for your people on day one and holds up over time.
Whether you're looking to develop stronger leaders, navigate a technology initiative, or address both as part of a larger strategy, we're ready to start the conversation. Tell us what you're working through, where you want to go, or what challenges you're facing. We'll help you determine where Luxhill Group can add value.
Luxhill bridges operational public safety, leadership development, and enterprise technology. That means agencies don't have to choose between consultants who understand technology and trainers who understand the profession.

Former Career Law Enforcement
Most technology consultants have never made an arrest. Most cops have never advised a Fortune 500 company. Chad Wallace has done both.
With more than 18 years of sworn experience across two states — spanning patrol, investigations, supervision, and training — Chad brings a practitioner's perspective that few consultants can claim. After his policing career, he led the large security organization protecting Microsoft's Pacific Northwest headquarters before moving into the company's Worldwide Public Safety and Justice Strategy practice, advising U.S. and global agencies on AI, cloud, and data-driven solutions for crime reduction, officer safety, and executive decision-making.
Today, Chad serves as Principal of Luxhill Group, a public safety consulting firm focused on leadership development, responsible technology adoption, and operational modernization. He is known for bridging street-level policing with executive decision-making — helping agencies move from buzzwords to practical, defensible strategies around leadership, culture, AI, and community trust.

Leadership Development & Advisory
Police Lieutenant, NW Washington
Some leadership instructors teach from textbooks. Ryan George teaches from eighteen years of doing the job, and the most rigorous leadership programs in American law enforcement.
Currently serving as a Lieutenant in the Criminal Investigation Division of a Northwest Washington Police Department, Ryan has built his career across patrol leadership, criminal investigations, SWAT operations and leadership, community engagement, and organizational leadership. He also brings a rare dual military background, having served in both the U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force.
His professional development credentials are among the most distinguished in the field. Ryan is a graduate of Police Leadership: The West Point Model, the California Police Chiefs Association Executive Leadership Institute at the Drucker School of Management, and the FBI National Academy — a program attended by less than one percent of law enforcement professionals nationwide. He holds a Master's degree in Public Safety from the University of Virginia.
At Luxhill Group, Ryan specializes in the development of first-line supervisors, middle management, and executive personnel — designing and delivering instruction that emphasizes trust, accountability, decision-making, teamwork, and professional standards. He brings the same rigor he experienced in the nation's premier leadership programs directly into the training room, helping agencies build leaders who perform when it matters most.

Most trainers can teach the classroom. Few have lived the scenarios they're teaching. Craig Shanks has spent more than 30 years doing both.
With commissioned law enforcement experience spanning municipal and county agencies — including long-term service with a Northwest Washington Police Department and a Southwest Florida Sheriff's Office — Craig built his career at the intersection of community policing, crisis response, and high-stakes tactical operations.
His 15+ years of SWAT experience include roles as assaulter, sniper, and Sniper Squad Leader within a multi-jurisdictional metropolitan team. He led operational planning, developed autonomous sniper and tactical programs, authored team SOPs, and mentored operators at every level — bringing the same standard of excellence to the training room that he demanded in the field.
As a certified trainer and former department Training Coordinator, Craig has designed and delivered instruction in firearms, patrol tactics, use-of-force decision-making, reality-based training, and active shooter response for audiences ranging from patrol officers to command staff. His credentials span state and national certifications across firearms, patrol rifle, sniper instruction, scenario-based training, and field training.
At Luxhill Group, Craig serves as a Senior Advisor and Instructor — consulting with agencies on training program design, tactical standards, and operational readiness, while bringing his curriculum expertise and real-world experience directly into the classroom.
