As an original member of the SAPD Mental Health Unit, he helped develop the program into a nationally recognized model for crisis response. Featured in the Emmy Award-winning documentary Ernie & Joe: Crisis Cops, Smarro is the CEO and founder of SolutionPoint+, a consulting and training firm focused on mental wellness, organizational safety, and first responder well-being.
Joe is a decorated combat veteran from the United States Marine Corps. He honorably served in both Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. After completing his enlistment, he moved to South Texas where he joined the San Antonio Police Department (2005). Joe was one of the original members of the SAPD Mental Health Unit and helped grow that unit into a nationally recognized best-practices policing program. Joe served on the SAPD MHU for 11 years.
In 2018 he gave a TEDx San Antonio talk, titled: I See You. He has been highlighted in numerous media outlets and documentaries. Most notably he is one of the main subjects in the Emmy award-winning documentary: Ernie & Joe: Crisis Cops. Joe is an alum of the Entrepreneurial Bootcamp for Veterans (EBV) Texas A&M (2016).

Joe voluntarily left the San Antonio Police Department in 2020 to focus on making changes within the behavioral health and criminal justice systems around the country. His big hairy audacious goal is to eradicate suicide among all first responders, starting in law enforcement. When Joe is not speaking, training, consulting, or working on his next book – he will most likely be found on a golf course.
