Public Safety Pre-Employment Backgrounds

The Gumshoe Group is a licensed, bonded, and insured investigation agency specializing in pre-employment background investigations for public safety agencies across California. Headquartered in Suisun City, California, we proudly serve Northern California and the surrounding areas. We are uniquely positioned as a one-stop solution that streamlines the hiring process while reducing the time and number of appointments required of your applicants. Unlike many agencies, we provide in-house LiveScan fingerprinting, truth verification (CVSA), and notary public services—all under one roof.

Our Peace Officer and Public Safety Dispatcher investigations meet or exceed all California P.O.S.T. standards, including Regulation 1953 (Peace Officer Backgrounds) and Regulation 1959 (Public Safety Dispatcher/Non-Sworn Backgrounds). In addition, we provide non-P.O.S.T. background investigations for other critical public safety positions, including probation officers, correctional officers, firefighters, and other law enforcement roles.

Every investigation is conducted with strict confidentiality, integrity, and professionalism. We assess each candidate’s history, qualifications, and character to ensure they meet the high standards of trust, responsibility, and judgment required for careers in public safety.

Our team comprises active and retired public safety professionals with exceptional records and extensive investigative experience. Each investigator is P.O.S.T.-certified, highly trained, and committed to delivering accurate, cost-effective, and reliable results tailored to your agency’s needs.

With our expertise, proven methods, and full-service approach, The Gumshoe Group helps agencies hire with confidence and applicants move efficiently through the process.

If this is how you want your applicants to describe your agency—professional, efficient, and trustworthy—then let The Gumshoe Group be your partner in screening your next generation of public safety professionals.
