What Embassy Consulting Services LLC does

Embassy Consulting Services LLC is a privately held, California-based professional training firm that delivers leadership development and operational training programs to public safety professionals and adjacent sectors. Its core customers are civilian public safety employees, sworn law enforcement officers and leaders (federal, state, and local), first responders focused on wellness and peer support, and executive protection specialists. Named buyers span the FBI, multiple municipal police departments and sheriffs, state Departments of Public Safety, school districts, a health system, and nonprofits, with active delivery in California, Texas, Nevada, and Virginia.

The company's product portfolio is anchored by the Civilian Leadership Institute (CLI), a five-month cohort-based program for aspiring civilian supervisors, and the Executive Development Series, a progressive multi-session pathway for public safety executives. These flagship programs are complemented by shorter specialized courses including Front Line Leadership, Internal Affairs Investigations Training, PREA 360, Basic Peer Support Training, The Leadership Challenge Workshop, and an Executive Protection track. Delivery is in-person and event-driven, led by retired law enforcement leaders and credentialed instructors (e.g., former Secret Service, retired chiefs, a PsyD critical incident responder). The offering is increasingly wrapped with Elite Membership and Civilian Elite Membership community products.

Embassy has no proprietary technology platform, mobile app, or AI capabilities; revenue is generated through fee-based professional services (course and cohort tuition, memberships), with the only publicly disclosed price point being $300 for a two-day Basic Peer Support Training course. The go-to-market is direct, via the company's website for self-serve registration and on-site delivery at client locations, supported by organic social (Instagram) and content marketing through the company blog. The business is owned by Josef Levy (co-owner) and Lysa Gamboa-Levy (President), with a small team in the 11-50 employee range.

Direct peers

• Calibre Press: Calibre Press is a long-standing provider of law enforcement training videos, books, and seminars for street officers, supervisors, and command staff. Like Embassy, it sells instructor-led public safety training to U.S. police agencies, making it a closely aligned peer.
• John E. Reid and Associates: Reid is a long-established training firm specializing in interview and interrogation techniques used by law enforcement investigators. Its Internal Affairs investigations-style curriculum is directly comparable to Embassy's IA Investigations Training course led by Chief Larry Horak.
• Executive Security International (ESI): ESI is one of the oldest executive protection training schools in the U.S., offering close protection and corporate security curricula. It directly competes with Embassy's Executive Protection line for the same niche of professional protection training buyers.
• Vistelar: Vistelar delivers training in conflict management, crisis intervention, and use-of-force de-escalation for law enforcement, security, and first responders. Its subject matter — frontline professional training for high-pressure public safety environments — closely mirrors Embassy's core delivery model.

Broad incumbents

• Lexipol: Lexipol provides policy content, training, and wellness programs to public safety agencies at scale. Its training and leadership content overlaps with Embassy's workplace, leadership, and compliance offerings, though Lexipol distributes via a SaaS-style platform.
• Northwestern University / GMU Center for Public Safety: The Center for Public Safety (originally at Northwestern, now at George Mason University) provides executive-level leadership and management training for senior law enforcement officers. It competes for the same command-level training dollars as Embassy's Executive Development Series.
• PoliceOne Academy (P1 Academy): PoliceOne Academy delivers online training and content to law enforcement agencies nationwide. While its delivery model is digital and lower-cost, it competes for the same agency training budgets that fund Embassy's in-person leadership and compliance courses.
• FranklinCovey: FranklinCovey owns the Leadership Challenge framework that Embassy delivers via its Certified Master instructor. It is a much larger, established leadership development provider serving enterprise and government, comparable in product (leadership workshops) though broader in customer base.
• Development Dimensions International (DDI): DDI is a global leadership and management training provider serving large employers including public-sector clients. It competes with Embassy's executive and supervisor development offerings at a much broader scale.
• Police Executive Research Forum (PERF) / National Policing Institute: The National Policing Institute (formerly PERF) is a nonprofit research and training organization serving police executives and policymakers. It overlaps with Embassy's Executive Development Series audience of command-level leaders but operates at a broader policy and research level.
