Bentley Advisory Group, LLC provides public safety leadership, compliance, accreditation, security, and organizational advisory services.

Mission
To provide professional public safety leadership, compliance, accreditation, security, and organizational advisory services that help agencies and institutions improve performance, reduce risk, strengthen accountability, and create safer environments.

Our Values
Seven things we hold ourselves to.
Integrity
We give advice that is objective and defensible, even when it is not the easy answer.
Professional Excellence
We hold our own work to recognized standards and keep improving it.
Practicality
Every recommendation has to work inside a real budget and a real staff.
Independence
Our advice stays objective. We are not selling equipment or protecting a vendor relationship.
Accountability
We measure our recommendations the same way we'd expect you to measure your own performance.
Service
We work as an extension of your leadership team, not a replacement for it.
Innovation
We look for where technology and better data can genuinely improve public safety outcomes.
Founder & Managing Principal
Christopher M. Bentley
Chris built The Bentley Advisory Group, LLC around a simple idea: agencies get better advice from someone who has actually done the job. His background combines law enforcement command, higher education administration, business education, and hands-on compliance work, including direct responsibility for compliance, accreditation, and technology modernization at a major Arkansas university.
He leads every engagement personally and stays the single point of contact from the first phone call through the final report.
Where We Work
Based in Conway. Built for Arkansas.
We work with agencies across Arkansas and are selectively taking on projects in neighboring states. Staying close to home means less travel overhead passed on to you and a consultant who already understands the state's accreditation programs and higher education landscape.
