Public Service Lateral Network (PSLN)

Connecting Careers. Protecting Privacy. Building Trust.

Public safety agencies across the United States face an increasingly difficult challenge: attracting and retaining qualified, experienced professionals. Traditional recruitment methods largely depend on job postings and applicants actively seeking employment. Meanwhile, thousands of experienced law enforcement officers, firefighters, EMS professionals, and emergency dispatchers may be open to new career opportunities but hesitate to explore them because of concerns about confidentiality, professional relationships, and potential career repercussions.

Public Service Lateral Network (PSLN) is building a better way.

PSLN is an innovative, privacy-first recruitment technology platform designed to transform how public safety agencies connect with experienced professionals. Unlike traditional job boards, PSLN operates before the formal application process, creating a confidential environment where professionals can explore career opportunities, compare agencies, and establish meaningful connections without prematurely disclosing their identities.

Our business model utilizes a scalable, business-to-business Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) structure. Public safety professionals access the platform at no cost, while participating agencies pay annual subscriptions for recruitment tools, enhanced agency visibility, confidential candidate engagement, and recruitment analytics. This model generates recurring revenue while addressing a persistent workforce challenge across multiple public safety sectors.

Founded in 2026, PSLN is led by Founder and CEO Andrew Crust, a veteran law enforcement professional, entrepreneur, and leadership development practitioner with more than a decade of firsthand public safety experience. His operational background gives him a practical understanding of the staffing challenges agencies face and the professional concerns that often keep qualified candidates from exploring new opportunities.

PSLN has developed a functional platform currently operating in test mode and is preparing for broader agency adoption and commercialization. Our growth strategy focuses on building strategic partnerships, expanding agency participation, and establishing a nationwide network that creates measurable recruitment value.

Our vision is to establish PSLN as an essential component of public safety recruitment nationwide. By combining innovative technology, candidate-controlled privacy, and a sustainable subscription model, we believe PSLN can fundamentally improve how public safety organizations attract experienced talent.
