About
The Bratton Group is a strategic consulting firm specializing in law enforcement strategy, risk management, public safety advisory services, and urban security, founded by William J. 'Bill' Bratton post-retirement from public service. The firm advises governments, corporations, and organizations on crime reduction tactics, organizational reform, crisis management, executive leadership training, and data-driven policing models like CompStat, drawing on Bratton's extensive experience as police commissioner in Boston, New York City (twice), and Los Angeles. Beyond consulting, it engages in thought leadership through publications, speaking engagements, and media commentary on global security challenges such as counter-terrorism, gang violence, and police accountability. While primarily U.S.-based, it serves international clients including police departments and private security firms, focusing on practical, technology-integrated solutions tailored to client needs. The group maintains a low public profile but has been involved in high-profile advisory roles like post-conflict policing reforms and corporate risk assessments, positioning itself as a neutral advisory entity committed to ethical public safety practices despite broader scrutiny of Bratton's legacy, including criticisms of 'broken windows' policing.
