My Story

I am Michael Collins, I have been involved in law enforcement, investigative work, and security since he was 18 years old. My personal experience and dedication to serving the community inspired me to start this business and provide specialized private investigation services to the Cleveland, Ohio area. Something I have been particularly proud is my Investigative Historian offering. If you are contemplating or have acquired real estate, and want to know the history of the purchase, I can research that and provide you with a report, citations and all. I have even found alleged haunted houses and houses and land with some very unsavory history. Of course you can always ask your real estate agent but I really he or she is prepared for the information I uncover, if any.

Ensuring the privacy and confidentiality of my client is a top priority. Each client is required to sign a strict confidentiality agreement, reaffirming my commitment to protecting their privacy and handling sensitive information with the utmost care and discretion.

For Detrick Maryland the home of the US Army Institute for Infectious Diseases, which has been alluded to in many movies. Three tours in Viet Nam found e spending one of those years as a Cavalryman in the Central Highlands which will always be remembered. After retiring  I completed my education culminating with a Bachelor of Arts from Baldwin-Wallace, Master's in History at Cleveland State and Master of Library and Information History where I learned not only about books but how and where to make the most of my research skills. I was honored to spend a year as a Reference Librarian at the United States Military Academy at West Point New York, but alas, the cost of living next to the Hudson River was too much for an Ohio boy and I returned to Cleveland. I spent almost 10 years as a Police Supervisor at VA Medical Center at  Wade Park and later 8 years as a Deputy Bailiff at Cleveland Municipal Court where I made some valuable contacts.
