Breaking News…If you are a private person or a security person or private investigator or for that matter a criminal, have no fear about placing a tracking device on a private vehicle! This is great news for all the sleuths who thought it was illegal, well, kinda sorta, in the “old” Los Angeles. […]

The latest potential train wrecks, Da Kardashians — Kim and her BIG sister Kourtney — were exiting a car when some poor photographer got very close, it is being reported. And Kim and BIG sis Kourtney’s security thugs took care of business. What does that mean? Just because the guy has […]

I’m on “Extra” tonight, discussing security. Here’s a clip:

There’s also a good piece about the case here.

Many times in the course of providing security we are asked “what would you recommend” type  questions.  Well, I have always been a strong believer in entertaining myself while I was a cop when the legal opportunity would pop up in the course of taking bad guys to jail. And “gassing” a bad guy who […]

Today I was shocked to hear of the murder of four Oakland Police Officers.  This is an attack on our entire society.  Having worked in the bay area for a number of years this horrible event hits me to the core. In the old days we spent many hours working leads in Oakland, the Oakland […]

What alarm system?  ADT/TYCO and John J. Nazarian went to battle and I have to say, when these guys screw something up they fix it! Only if you have the ability to track down MR. BIG and talk to someone with a brain and not raisins where the gray matter should be.  As many of […]

For the last few years I have been given the honor to be a guest at one of the United States Marine Corps balls.  If you have never been to any Marine Corps function, try and attend at least one before you die!  Many of the men and women who work for me are Marines, […]

Pamela Fayed is the woman who was stabbed to death last week in the parking lot of a Century City highrise (a building with many high-powered attorneys’ offices).  No surprise here, as a matter of fact it is a big surprise that more “murders” and “disappearances” don’t occur.  Divorce can be real ugly when you […]

Bulletin: a “Restraining Order” will not protect you, and in some cases it may well cause the earth beneath your feet to become singed!   First, a little background on cops and domestic disputes.  As a former police officer, I can attest that every cop knows to watch out when responding to the infamous family knock-down.  […]
