Every Sentinel engagement draws from a coordinated team. Not a single consultant. Our founders led the work. Our advisory bench has done the work. Together they bring more than 200 years of combined public safety operations and mission-critical technology experience to the agencies we serve.
Sentinel was designed around the two failure modes most common to public safety technology programs: operational misalignment and engineering gaps. Our founders bring both disciplines to every program we deliver.
MANAGING PARTNER · OPERATIONS & CHANGE MANAGEMENT
Justin has spent more than two decades inside mission-critical technology: first as a public safety practitioner, then as the program leader behind some of the largest CAD, RMS, and Land Mobile Radio ecosystem deliveries in North America. He began his career on the operations floor as a 911 operator, law and fire dispatcher, and dispatch supervisor, advancing through Operations Manager and ultimately serving as Director of a regional dispatch center. He carried that operator’s perspective into nearly twenty years in the private sector, holding Senior Program Manager, Territory Delivery Manager, and Director roles at Motorola Solutions, Tiburon, and CentralSquare.
As Director of Strategic Projects at Motorola, Justin built the organizational change management discipline and project delivery methodology that took the Los Angeles Police Department from UCR to NIBRS, migrating roughly 14,000 users from paper records to an integrated Records Management, Booking, CAD, and Land Mobile Radio ecosystem, one of the largest mission-critical deployments in North America. He also designed and delivered the first integrated CAD, LMR, and RMS for Los Angeles World Airports Police, completing the program two months ahead of schedule and under budget. Across his career, Justin has led more than one hundred mission-critical programs, including over twenty-five complex multi-discipline ecosystems, eight of them comparable in scale and complexity to the LAPD modernization.
At Sentinel, Justin leads operations, organizational change management, and program governance. He is the architect of the Sentinel Readiness Method™ and the Sentinel Value Assurance™ practice, co-architect of the Sentinel Delivery Framework™, and leads the Sentinel Deployment Blueprint™ practice. These four proprietary practices were forged on the LAPD modernization and refined on every engagement since.
MANAGING PARTNER · ENGINEERING & TECHNOLOGY
Jason has served as Principal Systems Engineer on more than fifty complex public safety technology deliveries, including ecosystem integrations spanning Computer Aided Dispatch, Records Management, body-worn and fixed video, Land Mobile Radio, and the intricate interfaces that connect them. His career has progressed through Senior Platform Engineer, Principal Systems Engineer, and Engineering Manager roles, where he has built and led elite infrastructure and software engineering teams that work alongside the largest mission-critical programs in the industry, including five years working directly inside Justin Scott’s practice on Motorola Solutions’ most notable ecosystem deliveries.
Jason was the lead engineer on the Los Angeles Police Department’s CAD, RMS, and Booking deployment, where he architected the disaster recovery solution for the agency’s core critical systems, a capability the organization had long sought. Beyond his work in the technology sector, Jason has served the public sector as a former commissioner and council member, giving him a combination of engineering depth and government leadership perspective that is rare in the industry. He has worked extensively with major police and fire organizations in an engineering consulting capacity, executing the methodologies developed within Justin Scott’s practice.
At Sentinel, Jason leads engineering, infrastructure, cybersecurity, and managed technology services. He is the co-architect of the Sentinel Delivery Framework™ and the technical authority behind the firm’s vendor-neutral platform evaluations and architecture reviews.
Our Advisory Bench is not a logo wall. Every member is involved in the programs we deliver, providing depth support, discipline-specific subject matter expertise, and the kind of been-there credibility that only comes from careers spent doing the work.

TRAINING & EDUCATION DELIVERY · PRACTICE LEAD
Career began as a Law Enforcement Officer, followed by 15+ years as a dispatcher and another 15+ years inside two of the largest CAD/RMS vendors in the public safety market. At Sentinel, Suzette leads the Training and Education Delivery Practice, overseeing curriculum development and end-user training for 911/PSAP/dispatch, law enforcement, fire, EMS, and software systems. She advises agencies on reviewing vendor training plans, building agency-side training programs, and planning the rollout of training inside major technology deliveries, the work that determines whether new systems actually land with the people using them.
911/PSAP, P25 & RECORDS MANAGEMENT ADVISORY
Retired Dispatch Center Director from a multi-discipline metropolitan dispatch center, currently serving in a leadership role within a major county’s law records division. Sandra also serves as a board member for a regional P25 radio system, giving her one of the most well-rounded ecosystem perspectives on the bench: 911/PSAP operations, P25 governance, records management, and the policy and procedure work that holds them together. She advises Sentinel on multi-discipline ecosystem deployments where any one of these layers can quietly determine whether a program succeeds.
MUNICIPAL LEADERSHIP, POLICY & EDUCATION ADVISORY
More than two decades of public education administration experience, paired with active service as a sitting Mayor of a municipality.

Her elected role grounds her in the political and policy realities of local government. At Sentinel, Abigail advises on municipal leadership and policy engagements and on the firm’s education and campus safety work, bringing both administrator discipline and elected-leader perspective to every program.
The bench model: Every Sentinel engagement includes a primary partner, depth support from a second team member, and discipline-specific expertise from one or more advisors. You never get a single consultant. You get the whole firm, scaled to your program's needs.
