Extra Duty Solutions Recognized on 2026 Inc. 5000 List

Extra Duty Solutions (EDS) has achieved a remarkable milestone by being ranked No. 2740 on the highly esteemed 2026 Inc. 5000 list, which celebrates America’s fastest-growing private companies. This year's list is particularly notable, showcasing a new array of organizations that are not only thriving but are also shaping the future of various industries.

The Inc. 5000 list is known for recognizing companies that demonstrate outstanding revenue growth alongside their capacity for innovation and job creation. EDS achieved an impressive 116% increase in revenue over a three-year period, reflecting the company’s commitment to developing more efficient ways for law enforcement agencies to manage their extra duty programs. This recognition is particularly significant given that past honorees include renowned firms such as Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Oracle, and Patagonia.

CEO Michael Nark expressed pride in this achievement, stating, "This recognition belongs to our entire team. Every day, they are focused on simplifying the lives of the law enforcement agencies and officers we serve. This growth is a direct result of their dedication.” Nark further emphasized that the ranking is a validation of EDS’s business model, which was established to provide a transparent and streamlined process in managing extra duty programs.

As EDS continues to expand, it remains dedicated to enhancing public safety across the nation. The company was established in 2015 by Rich Milliman and has grown significantly since then, providing services to hundreds of law enforcement agencies at the municipal, county, and state levels. EDS handles all aspects of extra duty program management, from intake and scheduling to invoicing and payments, with no costs incurred by the agencies involved. Funding comes from a small administrative fee charged to third-party vendors, allowing EDS to assume all risks associated with collection on behalf of the agencies.

The 2026 Inc. 5000 list highlights a collective median revenue growth rate of 130% across the honorees, contributing to the addition of over 627,208 jobs to the U.S. economy within the past three years. This data underscores the entrepreneurial spirit that continues to drive economic growth throughout the country. Nark reflected on this sentiment, noting that the success of EDS is part of a larger narrative of resilience and ambition within the American business landscape.

Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc., remarked that each entity on the list represents a story of perseverance and strategic decision-making, illustrating the broader impact that these companies have on their respective sectors.

To celebrate these achievements, Inc. will host a gala event in Dallas, Texas, from October 14-16, 2026. This occasion will allow honorees to connect and share their insights, with the top 500 companies being featured in the Fall issue of Inc. Magazine.
