About us
21CP Solutions was founded in 2015 by Charles Ramsey, Sean Smoot, and Roberto Villaseñor to help communities and law enforcement agencies improve public safety through innovative and community-centered approaches. Born out of their work on the President’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing, today 21CP brings together a diverse group of experts to address complex challenges in public safety. We are deeply familiar with what works and what’s possible when it comes to creating positive change in law enforcement and community safety.
We don’t just advise—we collaborate with organizations and community leaders to create safer and fairer systems of public safety.
Our
Values
Innovation
Public safety challenges demand fresh thinking. We embrace forward-thinking solutions that meet the complex and evolving challenges of modern policing and public safety. By integrating data, technology, and best practices, we help agencies lead with intention, not just tradition.
Respect
Respect is foundational to our approach. We collaborate with agencies and communities by honoring their experience, perspectives, and needs. By listening and working in partnership, we help organizations create cultures where respect guides interactions, strengthens relationships, and supports lasting, meaningful change.
Transparency
We believe that trust is built through openness. From our methods to our recommendations, we promote transparency in decision-making, communication, and accountability. Whether reviewing internal practices or engaging external stakeholders, we support agencies in operating with clarity and honesty to improve both performance and public confidence.
Justice
We are committed to advancing public safety systems that reflect the values of fairness and constitutional integrity. This guides our work toward safer, more connected communities. We help agencies align their policies and practices to ensure that justice is not only administered but felt by all communities.
