ABOUT US
California
Protective Services is California Residents' and Legal Professionals' first
real answer to private investigation We provide private investigations and
security contracted services.
How did
CPS start?
It
began with the retirement of Robert "The Moose" Miller a former Supervisory
Special Agent with the FBI. In 1990 Bob had opened a small boutique called MIG,
Miller Investigative Group. In 1992, Bob took on Pat Potter a young ambitious entrepreneur who helped
grow and transform MIG into a thriving competitor in the private investigative
sector that is today. In 2000, Bob suddenly passed away from failing health.
Pat Potter was left to manage and continue to operate the firm. With the help
of Stephen Shiratis owner of Security Force Unlimited, Pat Potter was able to
finish the transformation he and Bob envisioned which is now called California Protective
Services.
California
Protective Services has several areas of expertise, which, because of the
individuals who make up the branch offices, can provide services that make CPS
a stand-alone in this sector. These areas of assistance are specialized and
limited to advisory.
CPS prides
itself on our internal Anti-Fraud Policy and FCPA Compliance. See the drop down
menu under About for Compliance Policies.
