Doug Larsen

For nearly 30 years, Doug Larsen watched good applicants walk away from law enforcement because the process was broken. Departments were losing people before they ever got started, not because of a shortage, but because of outdated systems that couldn’t keep up. That’s what drove him to build Safeguard Recruiting. His goal was simple — modernize law enforcement recruiting so departments stop losing the people they worked hard to attract. Doug is steady, methodical, and genuinely invested in every department he works with. This isn’t a business to him. It’s a mission. He brings nearly three decades of experience with the Utah Department of Public Safety and a Master’s Degree in Business to every client engagement.

Travis Yates

Travis Yates spent 30 years on the job, retiring as a Commander, and watched leaders pour time and money into recruiting marketing that simply didn’t work. He knew the staffing crisis wasn’t just an operational problem — it was the biggest leadership crisis facing law enforcement today. That’s why he joined Safeguard Recruiting. Travis brings three decades of experience directly to your recruiting strategy. No fluff. No wasted budget. Just what actually works. A graduate of the FBI National Academy, recipient of the ILEETA International Law Enforcement Trainer of the Year award, and holder of a Doctorate in Strategic Leadership — he has trained and consulted law enforcement professionals across 47 states and internationally.
