Jared Kosina
Founder, JK Strategic Advisory

After more than 15 years in law enforcement, I founded JK Strategic Advisory to help public safety agencies and tech companies bridge the gap between strategy, operations, and innovation.

Throughout my career, I worked cases from the street to the command post. I’ve seen firsthand how the right tools, data, and leadership can radically improve public safety outcomes. I led major public safety initiatives—including the launch of the nation’s first Federal/Tribal drone program—and oversaw complex tech deployments that modernized operations from the ground up. But as the field evolved, I saw a clear need: agencies were hungry for innovation, and tech companies were eager to serve them—but there was often a gap in translation between the two worlds.

So I stepped in.

Today, I advise both public safety agencies and technology companies, helping them implement smarter strategies, real-time solutions, and AI-enhanced operations that actually work on the street.

I created JK Strategic Advisory to provide real-world consulting for those who protect, and those who build for them. I help agencies modernize their operations, implement real-time intelligence strategies, and integrate new technologies like AI without losing sight of the mission. On the tech side, I work with companies to validate products, align with user needs, and go to market with credibility.

Professional Highlights:

• Real-Time Crime Center Development: Spearheaded the creation and operation of the RTCC to provide officers with actionable intelligence in real-time. Executive board of directors for the National Real Time Crime Center Association.

• Technology Integration: Collaborated with tech companies to tailor SaaS solutions to the unique needs of law enforcement, ensuring seamless adoption and effectiveness.

• Training & Development: As Vice President of Training & Development for the National Real Time Crime Center Association, I’ve conducted workshops and seminars nationwide, focusing on the integration of technology in public safety.

• Public Speaking: Featured speaker at national conferences, including sessions on Drones, AI, and Technology Acceptance and The Role of AI in Public Safety.

At JK Strategic Advisory, we specialize in guiding public safety agencies and tech companies through the complexities of technology adoption and implementation. Whether it's integrating a new SaaS platform into existing workflows or developing strategies for technology acceptance within communities, our mission is to ensure that innovation translates into improved safety and efficiency.

Why This Mission Matters: Having worked on the front lines, I understand the critical importance of reliable and effective technology in public safety. My goal is to ensure that agencies are equipped with tools that are not only cutting-edge but also practical and user-friendly. By fostering collaboration between tech developers and end-users, we can create solutions that truly meet the needs of those dedicated to protecting our communities.

Let’s work together to harness the power of technology for a safer tomorrow.
