CAREFULLY SELECTED AND HIGHLY TRAINED PERSONNEL

 

We are team-oriented with POST accredited investigators throughout the State.  All Field Investigators are former public safety professionals.  G2's Investigations Assistants and Specialists are carefully screened and trained to follow G2's investigation protocols.  

Communication is key with agency liaisons updated regularly to allow early termination of a background, if warranted.
