At Lexipol, we are proud to work alongside an extraordinary group of retired fire and police chiefs who continue their mission of service through our Market Ambassador program. These leaders bring decades of real-world experience, offering valuable insights that shape the resources we provide to first responders. Among them is Neil Gang, a retired police chief whose passion for leadership, wellness and community impact continues to leave a lasting mark on public safety.
A Calling to Serve, Beyond Retirement
For Neil Gang, a life dedicated to public safety didn’t end when he retired. “I wanted to find a way to continue serving the first responder community,” he says, “and Lexipol provided the perfect opportunity to do that.”
Neil first connected with Lexipol in 2019 through his work in wellness initiatives, drawn to the company’s mission of equipping first responders with essential resources and support. Having served in leadership roles at agencies that utilized Lexipol’s solutions, Neil has experienced firsthand the value these tools bring to public safety professionals. Now, as a Market Ambassador, he is in a unique position—not only as a former customer but also as someone who now contributes to the development of these resources. His experience on both sides gives him a deep understanding of how agencies can best utilize Lexipol’s solutions to enhance training, policies and wellness programs.
“If you serve this profession with a servant’s heart—doing the right things for the right reasons—you will always be needed, wanted and appreciated.”
“I’m not just a spokesperson for Lexipol—I’m also a customer,” Neil shares. “Lexipol isn’t about selling products. It’s about providing mission-critical resources that help first responders establish a culture of wellness and readiness in their organizations.”
Leadership Defined by Purpose
For Neil Gang, leadership isn’t just about policies and procedures—it’s about prioritizing people. This perspective was shaped by a tragic turning point in his career: the loss of his friend and colleague, Asher Rosinsky, to suicide. That moment left a lasting impact, driving Neil to develop the ASHER Model, a framework designed to place the well-being of public safety personnel at the forefront.
“When we needed leadership the most, it was absent,” Neil recalls. “That day changed me. I knew that when I became a leader, I had to do things differently. We must prioritize our people—not just for the job, but for their lives beyond it.”
“As leaders, how we lead impacts how people live.”
The effects of leadership extend far beyond the workplace. Poor leadership doesn’t just disrupt morale—it follows first responders home, influences their mental health, and impacts their families. For Neil, leadership is about fostering a culture where officers feel valued, supported and empowered to not only serve their communities but also take care of themselves.
Advice for Today’s First Responders
Neil offers a simple yet powerful piece of advice:
“If you serve this profession with a servant’s heart—doing the right things for the right reasons—you will always be needed, wanted and appreciated.”
This mindset has guided him throughout his career and continues to shape his work today.
At Lexipol, we are honored to have leaders like Neil Gang as part of our Market Ambassador team. His dedication to wellness, leadership and service ensures that first responders not only receive the best resources but also the support and guidance they need to thrive in their careers and beyond. By helping shape a culture where first responders feel supported, valued and prepared for the road ahead, Neil exemplifies Lexipol’s commitment to helping those who serve our communities do so with confidence, resilience and purpose.
