Cadre of area’s top law enforcement, legal minds join the team
Bill Proctor
Proctor Consulting & Investigations Group (PCIG) has drafted many of the area’s top law enforcement and legal minds to help schools, police departments, municipalities, corporations, and other agencies address the growing need for security and crisis threat preparedness.
“We have assembled an experienced team to provide the ultimate in safety consulting,” explained Bill Proctor, a private investigator and the company’s head. “We believe the level of experience, across different cities and government agencies, is unparalleled. And if there’s ever a time for agencies to anticipate threats and strengthen their safety policy and procedures, this is it.”
In addition to longtime security consultants/investigators Doug Bucher and Mark Paliszewski, among the who’s who consulting with PCIG: former Detroit Police Chief Ike McKinnon; Midland Police Chief Nicole Ford, and Andy Arena, former special agent in charge of the Detroit FBI. Others on the consulting team are former Dearborn Police Chief Ron Haddad, former Sterling Heights Police Chief Dave Vinson, Cooley Law School Professor Ronald Bretz, Lynne Smelser, a cybersecurity expert, former Michigan State Police Commander Ellis Stafford, security expert Cody Hughes, and Criminal Justice Professor Dan Chlebos.
“Bill Proctor has assembled a team of well-respected professionals,” said Arena. “I know and have worked with most of them over the years and look forward to collaborating with them.”
PCIG will audit an agency’s policies and procedures, among other services, Proctor said. That could range from helping to plan for an active shooter to disaster response to weeding out a bad actor.
Both public and private organizations must navigate a host of risk management challenges, including mental health intervention, workplace violence, asset protection, cybersecurity, disaster response, crisis communications, and outdated emergency plans.
“In a world where one breach can destroy reputations, derail operations, and put people at risk, a strong security posture is a business’s most valuable asset,” Smelser said.
