Mark Cuban-backed Illuno is a customer-facing app based in North Texas that aims to streamline the police moonlighting industry amid a nationwide officer shortage.
A large police and security presence will be needed when the World Cup descends on DFW and Houston in 2026., need many police officers and security personnel. And local resources could be stretched thin when the demand that such a globally beloved event can bring with it hits town.
From a 16-year-old’s birthday party to an NFL game, there is a wide array of events that might hire officers, Guthrie says. “What we have is a community-focused, cloud-based platform that any small business or corporation can hire a police officer on an app with one or two minutes of use.” The police officers hired through Illuno are real cops with the authority to make arrests if necessary, as opposed to security guards.
“We're seeing a nationwide shortage in police officers. We're seeing academies at an all-time low,” Guthrie said.
