What CLPS Consultants does

CLPS Consultants (Crisis Leadership Preparedness Solutions) is a privately held SaaS and professional-services firm founded in 2006, headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, with regional coverage across the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and NYC Metro markets. The company sells a suite of security, emergency-communication, and threat-assessment software products alongside consulting services, with its primary end market being K-12 school districts and, secondarily, county government and public-safety agencies in the United States.

The core product is the TAP App platform, a mobile-first crisis-communication and reporting suite that includes TAP App Security (panic-button / silent-alert), TAP App Safety (community/workplace reporting), TAP App Student (anonymous K-12 reporting), and TAP App fourDscape (situational awareness integrated with CCTV and door-lock systems via partners such as Verkada and Vcore). Layered on top are three threat-assessment solutions — HPTM, the Deisinger Threat Management workflow, and Threat Assessment ARGO, an AI-assisted 24/7 monitoring product that scans social, deep, and dark web sources and routes findings through human vetting — together with emergency management and reunification planning, security and vulnerability assessments, fire and life-safety surveys, and digital training solutions.

The business model combines SaaS subscriptions (quote-based, annual billing) with professional consulting services that have been offered since the firm's 2006 founding. Distribution is predominantly direct, augmented by validation and channel relationships with the New York State Association of Chiefs of Police, the New York State Sheriffs' Association, and C-PASS, and is increasingly oriented toward districts navigating Alyssa's Law and similar school-safety mandates across NY, NJ, FL, TN, TX, and UT.
