The company contracts with key institutions like the Maine Bureau of Highway Safety and the Office of Cannabis Policy. In 2022, it expanded into publishing by acquiring The Law Enforcement Street Reference . Also in 2022, Dirigo Safety expanded its services by launching DirigoRMS, a company dedicated to training municipalities and businesses in essential risk management skills. These include active shooter preparedness, de-escalation techniques, and leadership development courses. By 2024, Dirigo had entered the New Hampshire market and acquired Granite State Police Career Counseling, marking its regional growth.
