BAG Products
BAG currently provides advisory services while developing web applications for public safety agencies and government organizations. Our products turn operational needs into practical planning and decision-support tools.
A web-based workforce planning and management application designed for public safety agencies and government organizations. Bring staffing, qualified coverage, scheduling, and resource decisions into one practical workspace.
Custom-domain deployment and user testing are upcoming. Workforce is in development and is not yet commercially available.
Express interest in Workforce testingExplore staffing requirements and resource choices to support budget planning.
Look beyond total headcount: distinguish independently qualified personnel, trainees, and non-console responsibilities when analyzing workload and coverage needs.
Evaluate schedule options and see how they align with operational requirements.
Organize leave, shift bidding, trades, and supervisor review workflows.
Bring timekeeping and overtime visibility into management decisions.
Use management reporting to communicate staffing needs, coverage gaps, and planning options.
Workforce is the successor to the standalone 911 Staffing & Coverage Planner, incorporating and expanding its planning capabilities. The standalone Planner reached user testing; its retirement is planned. Existing access is unchanged, and saved plans do not automatically transfer to Workforce.
A planned application intended to help agencies organize policies and supporting evidence, assess audit readiness, and prepare review reports.
The intended focus is preparation and documentation. It would not certify compliance or guarantee an audit outcome.

Jeremy Bussell PMP
Principal Executive Advisor & Founder
Jeremy brings over 30 years of military, government, and public safety leadership experience, including 26 years of U.S. Navy service and five years with the Colorado State Patrol.
At the Colorado State Patrol, Jeremy served as IT Program Portfolio Manager and later as Director of Public Safety IT & Communications and a member of command staff. He led 200+ personnel across six statewide communications centers supporting 76 partner agencies, managed an annual operating budget that grew from approximately $17M to more than $20M, and served as appointing authority for 69 administrative investigations.
His civilian executive responsibilities included direct management of five geographically dispersed, mission-critical operational facilities, maintenance contracts, vendor services, infrastructure expenditures, and technology modernization. He developed long-range organizational and facility consolidation strategies addressing operational efficiency, aging infrastructure, capital investment requirements, and continuity of operations.
A retired U.S. Navy officer, Jeremy advanced from enlisted service through Chief Petty Officer before commissioning as a Limited Duty Officer. His assignments included serving as Officer in Charge of a forward-deployed operational detachment, multinational mission planning, international liaison work, and a final tour as Senior Analyst and Acting Deputy Division Chief at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.
During his Navy service in Okinawa, he advised seven military installation commanders overseeing 32 major organizations, providing operational forecasts and risk-mitigation recommendations supporting typhoon preparedness and mission continuity. He participated in senior installation leadership coordination, informing decisions affecting Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force operations. His team’s assessments supported decisions about personnel safety and protection of military assets; final emergency decisions remained with the responsible commanders.
Combined with his civilian executive responsibility for statewide operations, personnel, budgets, facilities, and modernization, this experience informs BAG’s practical approach to organizational assessments, strategic planning, and operational improvement.
Opportunity identification, proposal development, customer relationships, funding support, and partnership building have been part of that work. BAG brings this business development perspective to organizations pursuing government, defense, public safety, and critical materials opportunities.
A Navy-qualified Master Training Specialist with more than 3,000 hours of classroom instruction and a graduate of the FBI-LEEDA Executive Leadership Institute, Jeremy connects leadership development with clear communication, shared purpose, and individual ownership.
In a current defense-sector engagement, BAG provides strategic advisory and federal market development support to a company in the critical materials and national security supply chain. The work includes stakeholder engagement, opportunity assessment, and strategic coordination.
Jeremy also translates his public safety and government leadership experience into software requirements, analytical models, operational workflows, and practical decision-support products. This work connects BAG’s advisory perspective with the software products now in development.

06 / Confidentiality by design
Confidentiality is central to how Bussell Advisory Group works. Administrative investigations, operational assessments, and executive advisory engagements can involve sensitive personnel matters, internal disputes, and information that deserves careful handling from the first conversation.
We use Proton Mail, a Switzerland-based encrypted email provider, for our business correspondence. Message bodies and attachments stored in our inbox are protected with zero-access encryption, meaning Proton cannot decrypt that stored content. Email exchanged with other providers uses TLS encryption in transit when the other provider supports it.
For particularly sensitive matters, we can arrange end-to-end encrypted communication:
Email subject lines and addressing metadata are not end-to-end encrypted. Please keep sensitive details out of subject lines.
We store client files and case documents in Proton Drive, an end-to-end encrypted cloud storage platform. File contents, file names, and folder names are encrypted on our devices before upload. Proton does not have the keys needed to decrypt those contents or names.
When sharing reports, assessments, or evidence materials, we use password-protected links with expiration dates to control the sharing window. Opening a protected link requires both the link and its password.
We agree the appropriate recipients and sharing arrangements for each engagement and can stop sharing a link when access is no longer needed.
Expiration ends access through the link. It does not remove copies an authorized recipient has already downloaded.
Website inquiries are processed by Formspree before being forwarded to BAG. The contact form is not an end-to-end encrypted channel. Please use it only for general inquiries; we can agree an appropriate method for sharing sensitive material.
Our commitment
Our approach reflects more than 30 years of combined military and public safety leadership experience: understand the sensitivity of the information and protect it accordingly.
If an engagement calls for additional safeguards, such as defined retention periods, secure deletion protocols, or specific data-handling procedures, we will discuss and document the appropriate arrangements before work begins.
