Experienced Private Investigators with 35+ Years of Expertise
With over 35 years experience in Jacksonville law enforcement and private investigations, our team brings deep firsthand knowledge of investigative work. Years were spent riding a beat in Jacksonville neighborhoods, gaining an intimate understanding of the streets, the people, and the complexities of law enforcement. That foundation led to years more working undercover in the vice squad of the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, where we honed the skills of blending in, tracking subjects without detection, and gathering evidence that stands up in court.
Our background in undercover operations and surveillance gives us a unique advantage in the field. Whether it’s a domestic case, corporate fraud, or a legal matter, we bring real-world expertise to every investigation. We understand that hiring a private investigator is a significant decision, and we’re here to guide you through the process.
