How illuno works

What is illuno?

illuno is a marketplace for off-duty law-enforcement coverage. Businesses create events, coordinators set rates and approve work, qualified officers claim shifts, and illuno collects payment, pays the people involved, and carries insurance on the job.

How does coverage get filled?

Create the event and submit it for approval. Your coordinator sets the rate and cost. You approve and post. Identity-verified officers claim open shifts, and you watch fill status as the roster comes together.

Who sets the rate?

The coordinator sets officer rates and the customer-facing cost. Customers approve that breakdown before anything goes live to officers.

Who pays whom?

Customers pay illuno. illuno pays coordinators and officers through the pay portal and carries insurance for covered work on the platform.

For businesses

What kinds of coverage can we post?

Security presence, traffic and site access, events, hospitality, retail, healthcare, construction, and similar on-site needs — wherever vetted off-duty officers are the right fit.

Do we have to use a coordinator?

Yes for live posts. Events stay in draft until a coordinator approves rates and cost. If you do not have one yet, book a walkthrough and we will help you get set up.

How is this different from a traditional security chain?

You are not buying a black-box vendor stack. You see the event, the approved cost, and fill status on the platform — without middleman opacity on who shows up and what was paid.

How fast can we get coverage?

Once an event is approved and posted, qualified officers see the shifts immediately. Same-week and same-day fills happen; earlier posts usually get stronger fill quality.

For officers

Who can work on illuno?

Vetted, identity-verified law-enforcement officers. Verification (including ID.me where required) is part of onboarding in the officer app — not a separate marketing page.

How do I get paid?

Claimed shifts are paid through illuno’s pay portal. The rate on the shift is the rate you work — no envelope handoff at the end of the night.

Do I set my own rate?

Rates are set by the coordinator for each job. You see the rate when you claim the shift.

Where do I download the app?

From the App Store or Google Play — download links are on the For officers page.

For coordinators

What does a coordinator do on illuno?

You run events for customers: set rates and wages, approve drafts before they go live, track fills, and scale without floating every payroll yourself. illuno collects from customers and pays you and the officers.

How do I get access?

Coordinator access is by request — book a coordinator access call from the For coordinators page. There is no open self-serve signup for that role.

Can I bring my own officers and customers?

Yes. You can invite officers and customers onto the platform and run their events from one dashboard.

Is insurance on me?

illuno carries insurance for jobs run through the platform as described in your agreement. You coordinate; we handle collection, disbursement, and coverage on those jobs.

Trust & records

Are officers identity-verified?

Yes. Officers complete identity verification before they can take shifts. Credentials and eligibility follow the platform’s onboarding rules.

Do we get a paper trail?

Shifts are documented on the platform — who worked, where, and for which hours — so you have a record for operations, incidents, or accounting without chasing paper.

Is illuno available everywhere?

illuno operates in supported U.S. markets where we have coordinator and officer coverage. Book a call to confirm your city or multi-site footprint.
