About Us
HERO COPS is the brainchild of Dan Hare, whose lifelong connection to law enforcement and first responders inspired this platform.
DAN HARE, CREATOR & FOUNDER
Dan is the son of a former San Diego Police patrolman who served from 1962-1967. Growing up, he was regaled with his father’s stories from the front lines – responding to crimes, disputes, domestic violence calls and more. In those days, police officers also operated as the city’s first ambulance drivers, and Dan’s father played a pivotal role in establishing emergency medical services in San Diego.
With an entrepreneurial spirit, Dan has founded and been involved with ventures ranging from a documentary film about the Iraq War to an independent film society, a jazz club restaurant, and an expedition searching for Yamashita’s gold in the Philippines. His diverse professional experiences kept him tied to the culture of law enforcement and first responders.
