Our principal investigator, J.R. Maxwell, has over twenty five years of experience in law enforcement and investigations, including military law enforcement. For the past five years, Maxwell has used the skills gained during the previous years to great advantage by owning and operating a successful private investigations firm. API Investigations, LLC is the culmination of this effort to achieve self-empowerment and now operates on an international level with offices in both the United States and the United Kingdom.
After military service as both an Architectural Drafter and Designer and Military Police, Maxwell served as a Combustion Monitoring engineer for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission at San Onofre before joining the Colorado Springs Police Department as a Patrol Officer, working on Preliminary patrol investigations. Maxwell then moved on to the world of Corrections, working up to Acting Disciplinary Hearings Officer, charged with a variety of duties including the training of staff and controlling all security and facility operations as Master Control Sergeant. Additionally, J.R. served for ten years with the Olney Springs Volunteer Fire Department.
In 2003 Maxwell founded TONCK Investigations, a private investigations firm in Colorado, offering a wide range of investigatory services to not only the citizens of America, but in fact worldwide, working in collaboration with colleagues in England, Greece, Canada and other countries.
The international work continues today as API Investigations, LLC, serving all general investigation needs with specialist skills in accident and personal injury cases, and, as before, dedicated to the highest level of customer service and the highest quality private investigative services available in the USA and the UK, continuously augmented by the latest in state of the art training. We are also licensed by the State of Kansas and certified by the Behavior Analysis Training Institute (BATI), among others.
