Grotewold Investigations

Garry Grotewold has been involved in investigations and law enforcement his entire adult life

Hi, I'm Garry Grotewold. Thank you for your interest in me and the services I offer. I entered the U.S. Air Force after high school, and then progressed through college and a few local and Federal agencies until I found my home as a Deputy United States Marshal. Spanning a career of nearly 28 years, I have worked in almost every program area the agency was responsible for, specializing in criminal investigations and locating federal fugitives from justice. My last 18 years were spent not only in the field, but as a Supervisory Criminal Investigator, where I was responsible for the overall management of those varied Divisions I had worked in for so many years.

I am a professional private investigator located in Yucaipa, and I offer private detective services and service of process throughout the general Inland Empire area of Southern California.

When you are in need of a professional private investigator to help you secure your rights, I'll be prepared to come to your aide. You can feel secure and confident using my services, fully licensed by the State of California through the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services.

I understand that if you are a business owner or a private party, hiring a professional private investigator can be a very big decision. When privacy is of the essence, I will guard your concerns and information with full confidentiality.
