What delta force p.i. does

Delta Force P.I., LLC is a privately held, woman-owned private investigation and security services firm headquartered in Gladstone, Michigan, serving Michigan's Upper Peninsula and Northern Wisconsin. The company operates two core service lines: Investigation Services (child custody, infidelity, background checks, criminal defense support, workers compensation fraud, SCAN truth verification, and electronic bug sweeps) and Security Services (armed and unarmed guards, hospital, maritime, mining, event, executive/personal protection, and corporate security). The company is led by co-founders Jim McNeil (CEO, 28-year criminal justice veteran) and Molly Barron (COO, former social worker and K9 handler), supported by a team of five additional investigators with backgrounds in Michigan State Police, FBI task force work, forensics, and polygraph examination. The firm holds dual Michigan and Wisconsin PI licensure, memberships in ASIS, PAWLI, MCPI, and MASIP, NAPCH-certified K9 explosive detection, and digital forensics certifications (Cellebrite, AccessData).

The technology stack is built on third-party and licensed tools rather than proprietary platforms: SCAN (Scientific Content Analysis from LSI) for manual statement analysis, Silvertrac for real-time incident reporting and GPS tracking, Cellebrite and AccessData for digital forensics, drones for event surveillance, and trained K9 units for explosive detection. The company offered free consultations and services are priced on a custom project basis, with no public pricing. The go-to-market combines direct sales for enterprise security contracts (hospitals, mining, maritime, defense contractors, events) with phone/email-driven inside sales for individual consumers, supported by a dense local-SEO footprint across 17+ Michigan and Wisconsin cities, professional association memberships, and earned media from an ABC 20/20 feature and the 2023 Business of the Year award.

Named enterprise customers include Fincantieri Marinette Marine (defense shipyard K9 and security including during a Presidential visit), OSF Homecare and St. Francis Hospital & Medical Group, the UP State Fair, UP Beer Fest, and Billy Ray Cyrus for executive protection. Customer concentration is mixed across enterprise contracts and long-tail individual casework, with no disclosed revenue or headcount growth figures. The firm is small (11-50 employees), privately held, with no funding rounds and no parent company.
