History
The Aden Group opened its doors in 2016 after many years in the public safety and policy fields. We saw a need in leveraging and applying our experience in the public safety arena based on gaps and the desire in the field to change course and aggressively seek innovations to improve public safety. Since then, we've facilitated the success of police and community organizations across the United States and in Europe and Africa.
