Who We Are

The firm that wrote the standard - and still sets it.

Founded by one of the nation’s first racial profiling researchers, Del Carmen Consulting exists to bridge the gap between academic evidence and on-the-ground policing. Our team includes former FBI executives, data analysts, and practitioners who have not just studied reforms but implemented them.
