Marco DeLeon has spent more than two decades working in and alongside the public safety profession. He began his career serving as a Deputy Sheriff in Texas, including assignments as a criminal investigator and hostage negotiator.

In his current role, Marco works closely with law enforcement leaders, state associations, regulatory bodies, and public safety organizations across the country. His work centers on helping agencies strengthen leadership, navigate complex environments, and build durable organizations that can better serve their communities. Through these partnerships, he has had the privilege of supporting thousands of agencies nationwide.
