What strategic investigations and security does

Strategic Investigations and Security LLC (operating as FedPI) is a US private investigation and security services firm headquartered in New York, with additional offices in Miami, Phoenix, and Los Angeles. The firm sells a horizontal portfolio of services across four pillars: (1) private investigation — surveillance, background checks, criminal history, asset searches, skip tracing, missing persons, and insurance fraud; (2) Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM) bug sweeps using military-specification equipment including the OSCOR Green spectrum analyzer, ORION non-linear junction detector, ANDRE Deluxe near-field receiver, telephone/line analyzer, endoscope cameras, and thermal imaging; (3) physical security — armed and unarmed guards, executive protection, advance agents, security drivers, event security with metal detectors/X-ray, and K-9 explosives detection; and (4) phone and computer forensics, plus dedicated legal support for law firms. Customer segments are split horizontally across attorneys (primary), corporations, individuals, and insurance companies, with no named customer accounts disclosed.

Revenue mechanics are professional-services based: hourly or case-based investigation billing, event/contract-based security engagements, retainer-style executive protection, and fee-per-report background investigation work. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quote-driven; the firm offers free consultations, 24/7 phone availability (844-277-4828), WhatsApp contact, email intake, and accepts Amex, Mastercard, Visa, Discover, Apple Pay, and Affirm installment payments. Distribution is direct — phone, website contact form, email, and in-person office consultation — with presence on Yelp and Google Reviews for social proof, and no app, no API, and no public integrations beyond payment processors and reCAPTCHA.

The leadership team consists of four retired NYPD officers: CEO JC Bastidas (Counterterrorism, TARU, Detective, Narcotics), Director of Investigations Mr. Cappello (retired Sergeant, Internal Affairs), Director of Administration Paul Smester (retired Lieutenant, Fugitive Apprehension, Detective Squad Commander), and Director of Security David Moix (retired NYPD officer, USMC Corporal, former Trump Organization security manager 2010-2016). The firm holds state private investigator licenses in NY (#11000206438), FL (#A3300213), and AZ (#1722526), and operates a California office, providing the legal basis for court-admissible evidence in major US jurisdictions. Founded in 2020, the company is privately held with 11-50 employees, no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, and no M&A activity.
