A Professional Investigation Company

• History Without Mystery 

 The company's founder began his career in the late 1980s working for two prominent local private investigation firms. Subsequently he was hired by a firm out of Los Angeles and was eventually promoted to branch manager. Eventually, he obtained his own professional private investigators license, (California License # PI21999) and began Pacific Resource Investigative Services in 2001. Since that time, we have worked thousands of cases primarily in the workers compensation arena including AOE/COE investigations, serious and willful and sub-Rosa. 

Everyone has a story to tell and someone who wants to hear it...

Our company, Pacific Resource Investigative Services, is proud to introduce to you and provide you the opportunity to tell your life story to future generations.

Personally, I lost my mother many years ago and often, there are questions that I want to ask her. 

With over 30 years of experience in the Private Investigation industry, our unique position as licensed private investigators lend extensive familiarity with custodian of evidence and records and matters of confidentiality. Our objective in this endeavor is to provide family history to your subsequent generations in a digital video and audio format.  This would be a visual and spoken history of you and your experiences and, at times, could be information that only you could provide to your offspring, their offspring, and other loved ones.  This information will include a wide range of topics and of course, the interview would go in different directions based on your responses to specific questions. 

This information would be collected and stored securely and disseminated only to those whom you have chosen to share it with. This will occur within 45 days of your passing. Words from the departed may help some individuals cope with the loss of a loved one and would be a moving gift to those that you leave behind. 

We have a plan in place as to how your loved ones could become aware of the existence of this material after your passing. 

Please do not hesitate to contact us if we may be of service to you.

 Pacific Resource Investigative Services specializes in camera sub-Rosa and the investigation of liability and all aspects of workers’ compensation claims, including S&W, AOE/COE and Subrogation. Additionally, we handle contestable death insurance claims as well as intellectual property investigations and in doing so, work very closely with law enforcement. I personally have over thirty (30) years of experience in camera sub-Rosa, mostly in workers’ compensation, honing camera and “tailing” skills over the years to the extent that my success rate is second to none. These skills have been acquired by having been employed by three separate companies. The last one a managerial position prior to having become self-employed. I am credited with having performed the sub-Rosa on one of the first cases (if not the first) in the State of California to have been prosecuted under the workers compensation fraud law, that particular case having been profiled on the CBS Evening News. Subsequently, numerous cases of ours have been referred to the district attorney’s office for fraud prosecution. 

We have worked with the following agencies:

  United States Secret Service 

 United States Department of Homeland Security 

 United States Federal Bureau of Investigation 

 United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement 

 State of California Department of Motor Vehicles 

 State of California Highway Patrol  

 Numerous Law Enforcement Agencies and District Attorney’s Offices  

 Numerous Third Party Administrators, Insurance Companies, Joint Power Authorities and Professional Law Firms

We are very anxious to assist in guarding against potential fraud. We are motivated, meticulous, and time conscious. We are not afraid to take risks. This is especially effective in obtaining superior sub-Rosa video. You have our promise of a thorough and effective work product, with it always being kept foremost in mind that time is of the essence in completion of your assignment. Enclosed is a sample report for your review. Please note that we video the surrounding area upon arrival, periodically throughout the day and upon departure in an effort to document our time on site. This insures that no padding of the invoice occurs. I am confident that we are competitive in the marketplace, and strive to provide the excellent service that Pacific Resource is known for. If there is something that we can do differently or better, we are eager for constructive criticism and will make the changes necessary in an effort to improve our service. Territory is from Modesto to Bakersfield in the State of California. E-mail or call us today so that we may further discuss a working relationship. Thank you in advance for the opportunity to provide you with excellent service. We consider it a privilege to do so.
