What we investigate
Surveillance — following a subject a client believes is involved in fraud, infidelity, or other conduct concerns, often in support of a potential court case.
Background research — helping businesses check an individual's work history or criminal background to determine suitability for employment.
Who this is for
Clients range from individuals and businesses to attorneys who need investigative work done right — and done by someone who's spent a career learning how to gather information that actually holds up.
Where we work
Auburn/Opelika is home base, but Jeff is licensed throughout Alabama and has worked cases across the state.
A background built for this work
Before CIXE, Jeff spent 16 years in law enforcement — starting as a patrol officer, moving through field training officer, detective, and sergeant. That's 16 years of learning how to investigate, interview, and build a case that stands up to scrutiny — now applied directly to private investigation work.
