Guardian Alliance Technologies, Inc. Welcomes David Green to Advisory Board

February 16th, 2003

Stockton, California – February 16th, 2023 –  Guardian Alliance Technologies, Inc. announced today that long-time law enforcement executive, David Green, has joined its Advisory Board, further expanding the company’s team of innovative leaders and advisors.

David Green is a co-founder and managing partner at Palicon Group, an investigations, security, and public safety consulting firm based in Southern California. Prior to forming Palicon Group, David spent thirty years in law enforcement serving with the Orange County Sheriff’s Department, California Department of Justice, and San Bernardino Police Department where he served as the City’s 40th Chief of Police. 

“As a former chief, I faced few greater challenges than efficiently onboarding needed personnel,” said David.  “Recruiting good talent is harder today than ever before, and the majority of agencies are still using outdated and inefficient methods.  It’s time the industry adopts technology that can help speed up the process while not cutting corners or lowering standards.  That is why I am excited to join the Guardian team.  They have their finger on the pulse of what agencies need and the technology to finally resolve this industry pain point.”

As an executive manager, one of David’s chief accomplishments was revamping his organization’s recruitment and hiring practices to incorporate AI-driven digital ad targeting and the private outsourcing of background functions. In doing so, he identified several key opportunities for improvement which he sought to address with the formation of Palicon Group. Today, Palicon Group is one of the few private background firms in the Nation to offer a fully automated process as part of its standard service. 

Ryan Layne, CEO of Guardian, stated “David is a natural fit for Guardian’s Advisory Board.  With over 3 decades of experience as a law enforcement executive, David brings unique insights and strategies to Guardian’s leadership team.  As a police chief, he has already implemented successful strategies that enhanced his department’s recruitment and background process.  Now as an Advisor to Guardian and principal at Palicon Group, he is able to share and implement these proven strategies with agencies in California and across the nation.  Guardian’s clients can feel confident that our products and solutions have just become more impactful as a result of David joining our board.”
