Titan Independent Investigations

Experienced investigators. Independent process. Defensible findings.

Independent third-party investigations for public agencies, public-safety organizations, private employers, universities, and other institutions that need an impartial fact-finder.

Why independence matters

When the facts need to hold up, who finds them matters

Some allegations cannot credibly be investigated from the inside. The subject may be a supervisor or executive, the matter may already be public, or the organization may need greater institutional or public confidence in the outcome.

Titan steps in as a neutral outside investigator. We establish the facts through a disciplined, evidence-driven process and produce a clear, professionally documented report that can withstand review by executives, governing bodies, counsel, regulators, arbitrators, courts, or the public.

Who conducts the work

Investigations conducted by investigators

The professionals you retain are the professionals who have done the work.

Practitioner-led

Our investigators have personally conducted investigations, interviewed witnesses and subjects, weighed conflicting evidence, assessed credibility, and prepared findings.

Command-level perspective

The team includes former supervisors, internal-affairs personnel, commanders, and executives who understand the organizational consequences of an investigation.

Direct accountability

You are told who is assigned before work begins. The experience presented to you is the experience assigned to the investigation.

Independence

We step in when an internal investigation could create an actual or perceived conflict of interest.

Defensible work product

Reports are fact-driven, clearly reasoned, and professionally documented, with analysis kept separate from advocacy.

Quality control

A managing principal oversees scope, methodology, consistency, and report quality before anything is delivered.

Investigation types

Matters we are prepared to accept

Each engagement is matched to an investigator with direct experience in that kind of matter.

Public sector

Cities, counties, special districts, police and sheriff’s departments, corrections agencies, oversight bodies, boards and commissions

Private sector

Private employers, colleges and universities, law firms, nonprofits, and security organizations

Our process

A neutral, disciplined investigative process

Every investigation follows the same sequence, so the client, the subject, and any later reviewer can see how the findings were reached.

01

Confidential inquiry & conflict check

We discuss the matter in general terms and confirm there is no conflict before specifics are shared.

02

Defined scope

A written scope of work and engagement terms are agreed before the investigation begins.

03

Named assignment

A lead investigator is selected for relevant experience, with a second investigator for major or document-heavy matters.

04

Evidence & interviews

Documents, records, and video are gathered and reviewed, and witnesses and subjects are interviewed professionally.

05

Analysis & findings

Evidence is weighed and clear factual findings are made within the agreed scope, kept separate from advocacy.

06

Quality review & delivery

A managing principal reviews the report for consistency and quality before it is delivered.
