ESA offers a wide range of specialized investigative services to attorneys, corporations, small businesses and the general public. We specialize in Private Investigations, Surveillance, and Background Checks, Workplace Violence Issues, Executive Protection, Risk and Threat Assessments.
In today’s world it sometimes becomes necessary to check out someone’s background and history. It might be a new employee, a significant other, business associate, or even a contractor that you might want to hire. Background checks can provide you with valuable information about individuals and businesses. This allows you to verify the information an individual provides and protects you against potential damages. ESA has access to the most up-to-date information available today through our proprietary databases consisting of billions of records.
Civil Record Search: We can search the court records requested in all counties where the individual has resided for civil suits and judgments.
Criminal Record Search: We can search the federal, state, and county court records where the individual has resided for any criminal records. We also can do warrant checks.
Drivers License History: We can provide a copy of an individual's driving record. This record includes all driver license information and driving violations, including DUI's.
Verification of Educational Credentials: We can verify an individual's educational background, institutions and dates attended, and degrees awarded.
Verification of Professional Licenses: We can confirm what professional licenses an individual holds and their current standing. If available, we can also provide documentation of any disciplinary action taken against the subject by a licensing body.
Financial Records: These can only be accessed with the consent of the person in question.
Surveillance: Records research can tell you about past history or the lack of. But it is surveillance that gives the here and now.Eyewitness reports or an incident recorded on film is the best way to tell what someone is up to. Workman's comp claims, insurance fraud, cheating spouse verification and much more. This can be handled both discreetly and confidentially.
Interview and Interrogation: In some instances, there is a need for an independent interview of involved persons to establish the truth. Using the Reid Technique of interview and interrogation, ESA Investigators can interview people to gain information, gather evidence and verify facts about individuals, events or possible crimes. In many instances, we are able to get a full confession. We can provide assistance in civil liability and personal injury cases, insurance claims, fraud, and theft.

An Executive Protection Specialist (EPS) is highly trained instead of being just “hired muscle.” Trained to avoid rather than confront, but able to respond appropriately when necessary. An EPS must be able to do risk assessments, background checks, routing for travel. Knowledge of first aid and the ability to be trusted with personal information is also necessary. Through investigation, surveillance, and planning, we can help you to avoid being in the wrong place at the wrong time. “Prevention is always better than cure."
Under the Arizona Revised Statues, Title 32, Chapter 24, concerning Private Investigators, Article 1, 32-2401 Definitions, number 16, authorizes Private Investigators under Section C to: “Investigate threats of violence and provide the service of protection of individuals from serious bodily harm or death.”
Risk comes in many forms these days. Threats, disgruntled workers, angry stockholders, strikers, activists, a former spouse or partner, possible embarrassments, and yes, even terrorists. An Executive Protection Specialist can take the weight of such worries off your shoulders.
The fact that there are laws against such behavior seldom negates the harmful impact of such events on a client company's valuable assets, reputation and market presence. ESA is experienced in doing the threat assessments and advance work necessary to remove the worry from your daily routine and allow you to stay on track. Intervention, an often-overlooked tool in crime prevention, is always the successful alternative to events of more damaging, even lethal resolutions.
Well trained and experienced to provide any response necessary, our primary mission is to cover and evacuate our principal, and to remove them from harms way. Your personnel are your most valuable assets.

The single most important step toward safety is making the decision to Refuse to be a Victim. Criminals like easy prey.
Just knowing how to use deadly force cannot prepare one for the possible aftermath of such an event.
Just as a person who chooses to possess a firearm for self-defense should seek training in its use, so should they seek knowledge of when and where a deadly weapon can be used. They should also be aware of the possible consequences.
When the trigger is depressed, and the hammer falls sending a projectile out the end of the barrel, this is but the beginning and not an end to the incident. Are you prepared for what comes next?
Jurors have hours, days, or even months to "second guess" your decision. Can you articulate to them what led you to your decision to use deadly force?
If you cannot answer these questions, then you could be risking everything that you own, or could own, when carrying a firearm for self defense. You could also be risking your freedom and end up incarcerated.

I have been certified as an instructor in the Judicious Use of Deadly Force by Massad Ayoob of the Lethal Force Institute. My classes are taught using the Lethal Force Institute doctrine. These classes are 16 hours in length and include demonstrations, lectures, and videos for consistency. At the end of the course there is a test. The student will then able to put together a package documenting the course and their knowledge of the subject matter. A package that could aid you in a courtroom situation.
This course is open to law enforcement personnel and civilians with proof of no prior criminal history. Class size is limited to a minimum of 10 students and a maximum of 15.
I am willing to travel to teach this course. Law enforcement personnel do get a reduction in tuition. Departments wishing on-site instruction are encouraged to inquire.
An investment in this course could possibly save you thousands of dollars and prevent you from doing jail time, with some guy named "Bubba" as a cell mate.
