Another part of the job

Another thing we occasionally do is process service. Most process service is done by Sheriff's deputies, civilian process servers working for the Sheriff's department, or full-time process servers working for or contracted by attorneys. None of them are investigators, though, and some people either evade service. That's when the client calls us. We charge more than any of those other people, but we do a lot more.

So I spent this morning watching a house for a woman who extorted a former boyfriend and shot up a store he owns. It's suspected she frequently goes armed. I never saw her, but we'll try again at a different time of day.

- Redneck

UPDATE: Got her. The client knew where she was hanging out, so we canvassed the area and found her hiding in her car in the dark on the street.

Crystal Meth Kid

Ronin dubbed this one the Crystal Meth Kid, 'cause that's what he uses and sells. And when I say "sells" I don't mean "hooks up his friends sometimes when they're getting low." He had a ton of it on him when we searched him. And probably plenty more in his car, but that's not our concern.

This guy's been a thorn in our side for almost two months.

It's Not The Guns You Shoot, It's the Gun-Slingers You Meet

This past weekend I had the opportunity to attend a class with the Stillwater Firearms Association in Fallon, Nevada. I was joined on the trip by a long time friend and fellow operator with the call sign: Ice Man.

What Happens in Vegas... (goes on my blog)

It's been a busy few weeks. Fox and I went up to Vegas the night of March 17th and spent a couple days doing promo photos for Crusader Weaponry, Nightforce Optics, Viridian Green Laser, and Battle Comp. Then we headed to Front Sight for their Four Day Defensive Handgun course.

A good friend from Tennessee, Oleg Volk (a frickin' photographic genius), met us there and did all the photography, and attended the course with us. The pics came out great, as expected. Here's one of me:

Thanks, Mom!

Last week, the night after our hat trick, Third Echelon rolled again on three files. Jester and Sensei were working one file, Ronin, King and I another two.

It was really more of an informational type of night, as we didn't expect to actually arrest anyone, just put some information together and turn up a little heat in the right places. So we rolled around and kicked in doors and just generally sowed hate and discontent,

Fox with the Navy Seals

While the team is back in LA catching other asses, I'm down in San Diego busting my own ass ... working with Navy Seal Team member's, either active or retired.

As part of the CADRE' we provide specialty training for BUDS or SERE in a condensed form for those who are training to prepare to get into Navy Seals or for those who just want to experience what it takes to be a Navy Seal.

The Crystal Meth Kid

So we're running down a guy who was released from doing a stretch of about 45 days in the county for his drug smoking bullshit. He was released frrom county on March 2nd and failed to appear in LA Superior Court on March 5th. There's another guy looking for him on another bond with another company. Just got word today that he'd rather go out "suicide by cop, than go back to jail".

The stakes have just been raised and 3EIFRU dont want to put him down but it is what it is..................................

Hope he realizes this aint no movie................................

Hat Trick

We had a little training at the dojo last night, then rolled out at 2130. Attending were Ronin, Fox, King, Sensei, and myself, the always-lovable Redneck.

First we went to the bond-out address, and learned the bailee had moved a couple months before. But the current tenants knew he was living near a mortuary up the street, and in addition to the yellow Mustang we knew about, the family owned a red Mustang and a white Yukon.

So we located the mortuary and canvassed the area for the cars. It didn't take long to find a red one parked two cars behind a yellow one, and there in a driveway was the white Yukon. So we made entry there and got that guy. No sweat.

So You Want To Be A Bounty Hunter?

Of all the things you could choose to do with your time (and it does take a LOT of your time), working your way into being a "bounty hunter" is a rather unusual task. That makes it pretty well suited to rather unusual people.

This was already going through my head when I started to realize the depth and breadth of involvement and knowledge needed to do this right. And that's when Ronin asked:

So last night (Saturday) King and I were out doing a surveillance in the  koreatown area on the border of Hollywood off of Santa Monica Boulevard. The Subject was a woman who works at a Mexican Bar/Restaurant. We needed to tial her in order to find out where she is currently living at. We started surveillance at about 8:30 PM.

First off when you're on suvreillance you see everything that goes on in the area that most people wouldnt recognize at a glance or just driving through or by. So at about 11PM the venue started getting packed. The hookers in the area were thick on the stroll. I watched em pull over Johns, observed their negotiations, watched em jump in theirs cars and then get dropped off once they were................done? There was one real money maker out there a real hustler. If hooking was digging ditches she'd have dug up the whole block.

Anyways, our Subject rolled about 2:25AM. We followed her over to Park La Brea Apartments off of 3rd near the Grove. Lost her inside of a massive controlled access with security complex.

Saturdays work April 2nd 2011

So half the crew is in Eagle Rock and neighborhood in Central Los Angeles, they're sitting on an apartment of the mother of one of the skips we're looking for, waiting to spot the daughter of the guy we're looking for wanted on dope charges out of Pasadena. Oh wait! well what do you know, Redneck just called in and said they spotted her. Now to wait for mommy and daddy to show their asses and pick the daughter up for a visit. Then.............................POW! Proprio Sulla Bocca

3EI Tv Show

We are currently in the legal process of doing our tv show. We are in talks with a well known production company here in LA with major backing from a few of my personal celebrity clients as well the owner of the production company we're signing with. We now have 5 major networks interested. This is starting to turn into an an exciting experience but until there are cameras with us on the job, its still all locked in that hollywood project limbo.

Stay tuned for the goods. Soon we will release our sizzle reel which was produced by 3EIFRU and our crew producer Chris Bobay of Bobay Productions.

More fists for your eye kids.....................
