Who We Are

Our Vision

Our History

Cambridge Consulting Group was founded to meet the growing need for specialized consulting in EMS, public safety, medical transportation, and government operations. As emergency services became more complex and financially strained, our founders, senior leaders from EMS, law enforcement, healthcare, and municipal administration, recognized that agencies needed practical, customized solutions from experts who had worked in the field.

What began as a small group of advisors has evolved into a nationwide consulting team supporting municipal, county, state, and private organizations. We help clients navigate challenges related to staffing, deployment, accreditation, financial sustainability, regulatory compliance, quality improvement, and system redesign. Our long-standing track record and deep industry expertise position us as a trusted partner for organizations seeking RFP-ready consulting services that deliver long-term impact.
