About The Bowline Group

The Bowline Group beginning its work in Washington

It Started With a Missing Voice.

The Bowline Group was founded in late 2019 with a simple idea: the right relationships, combined with the right strategy, can change the direction of an issue.

Then 2020 changed the conversation around policing and public safety. Major decisions were being made in government, politics and the public arena without enough input from the people actually doing the job.

TBG became increasingly involved with law enforcement organizations and leaders, helping ensure their experience and perspective were part of those conversations. That work became an important part of the firm’s foundation and helped shape the way TBG approaches complex issues today.

Relationships Changed Everything.

As TBG’s work grew, so did its network.

Relationships built across law enforcement opened doors to broader conversations involving government, politics, business, associations, advocacy organizations and national leaders. At the same time, TBG’s experience in government affairs, campaigns, communications and strategy created opportunities to connect people and organizations that might otherwise never have found themselves at the same table.

Those connections became one of TBG’s greatest strengths. Whether the issue involves technology, healthcare, transportation, telecommunications, labor, insurance, infrastructure or public safety, TBG understands that progress often begins by identifying the people who need to be part of the conversation—and bringing them together.

The Bowline Group Today.

TBG has grown far beyond where it started.

The firm’s foundation in law enforcement and public safety remains an important part of who we are, but the relationships, experience and perspective built along the way now reach much further.

Today, TBG works across government, politics, business and public affairs, helping clients make connections, understand the landscape around them and move important ideas forward.

What has not changed is the way we approach the work. We believe the right relationship can open a door, the right strategy can create momentum and the right people around the table can change the outcome.

That is still the idea behind The Bowline Group.
