Led · Seed · Aug 2026
Legio provides an enterprise-grade operations platform that serves as the operational backbone for campus public safety teams, unifying dispatch, incident response, case management, patrols/guard tours, asset management, and regulatory reporting.

Legio was founded by Darren Hill, Mike Wertman, and Joe Crampton. The company intends to accelerate product development and expand its design partner program following its $5 million seed round. The announcement frames Legio as rebuilding campus public safety software with an AI-native architecture tailored to higher education's regulatory and operational complexity.
