Justin Beaver

Founder & Principal Consultant

Culper Consulting, LLC

Justin Beaver is the Founder and Principal Consultant of Culper Consulting, LLC, a firm dedicated to advising public safety leaders, municipal executives, and institutional decision-makers on leadership strategy, governance, and organizational risk management.

With more than two decades of law enforcement experience, Justin currently oversees key administrative and operational support functions within a mid-sized police department in Los Angeles County, responsible for areas that underpin departmental governance, training, policy development, and internal accountability. His work provides direct insight into the systems and processes that sustain modern public safety organizations.

In addition to his law enforcement service, Justin also serves as Deputy Mayor for a community in San Bernardino County, where he participates in the policymaking and fiscal oversight that shape municipal priorities, including public safety funding, risk management, and community protection strategies.

This rare dual perspective, working within public safety organizations while also serving in elected office, positions Justin to understand both the operational realities faced by public safety agencies and the governance responsibilities carried by municipal leadership.

Through Culper Consulting, Justin advises chiefs of police, command staff, city executives, school administrators, and governing bodies on the complex intersection of leadership, policy, preparedness, and organizational accountability. His work frequently focuses on strengthening communication between public safety agencies and the governing institutions that oversee them.

Culper Consulting also works with schools, campuses, and places of worship to evaluate security posture and identify vulnerabilities through professional assessments, security program analysis, and red team audits designed to test preparedness under realistic conditions.

Justin founded Culper Consulting on a simple premise: effective public safety leadership requires a clear understanding of both operational realities and the governing environments in which public safety institutions operate.

At Culper, the mission is straightforward, provide leaders with the strategic insight and practical perspective necessary to strengthen institutions, reduce risk, and make informed decisions when it matters most.

Mission Statement

Culper Consulting provides independent, executive-level public safety advisory services that improve decision quality, reduce institutional risk, and clarify the policy implications of law enforcement recommendations for city managers and elected officials.

Our Core Values

Public safety leaders naturally advocate from an operational risk perspective. Governing officials must weigh those recommendations against fiscal capacity, community expectations, political realities, and legal exposure.

Ethical & Conflict of Interest Statement

Culper Consulting provides independent analysis only. The firm does not lobby, advocate for specific operational outcomes, represent bargaining units, or substitute for executive authority.

All services are designed to support informed decision-making while respecting the roles and responsibilities of sworn leadership, executive management, and elected officials.
