To Whom It May Concern:

I have worked with Scott Castleman for more than three years. He has served as personal protection for our news crews in many different situations. In every situation, I have felt safe and protected; in every situation, I have found him to be extremely quick-thinking, analytical, intelligent and skilled in problem solving. He allows me to do my job more efficiently because he is focusing on my safety, allowing me to focus on investigating my cases and reporting my stories.

I can cite many examples of how he has shown his capabilities while working with me. During our last trip to Mexico to investigate the case of an Oregon man wanted for murder, I received a suspicious phone call in my Mexico City hotel room. Within minutes, Scott Castleman had investigated the situation, secured a new hotel room for me, and uncovered significant flaws in the hotel’s security system that allowed us to more quickly decide our next move.

I also consider Scott Castleman to be an asset in our investigations because he has a wealth of investigative knowledge, perspective and skills. He is able to contribute significantly to our investigative discussions, techniques and strategies. He is able to serve as both a protector and consultant at the same time.

To Whom It May Concern

This is a letter of reference for Corporate Crime Control Association, Inc.

Because of break-in issues in our parking lot, I had employed the services of a uniformed security company.  Unfortunately, the officers failed to observe any criminal activity.  Moreover, their presence proved to be little deterrent to criminals in the lot.

I contacted Scott Castleman of the Corporate Crime Control in April 2005.  Mr. Castleman immediately conducted a security assessment and developed an investigative strategy to address the crime problems.  Mr. Castleman and his capable response team regained control of my parking lot in very short order and continue to make my property safe for my employees and customers.  While I was aware of some of the crimes being committed on my property I am still sometimes amazed at the criminal activity thwarted by Mr. Castleman and his agents.

Mr. Castleman and his agents are very professional.  From their discreet surveillance and contact with the criminal suspects, they maintain a low key approach.  None of my regular customers is aware of their work.  They maintain close contact with Portland Police and seem to have an excellent reputation within law enforcement as well as the business community.

Monthly, I obtain detailed reports from Mr. Castleman documenting his operations.  Personally, he is a delight to deal with.  He is direct, committed and pleasant.

I think word has circulated throughout the criminal circuit that Mr. Castleman and his teams are working my property, resulting in a significant decrease in criminal activity.  However, I plan to continue using Mr. Castleman and his agents to maintain security on a random basis.  Their undercover presence remains an effective deterrent to criminals

I strongly recommend Mr. Castleman and the Corporate Crime Control Association to any business owner seeking professional crime prevention services.

Sincerely

“Tom”

SE Portland Business Owner

Dear Scott:

Thank you for your help at Beaverton, Oregon, as I seek a second-term as the 43rd President of the United States. With your support, we are laying the groundwork for a strong nationwide effort as we face a close election this year.

For the past three-and-a-half years, my administration has set clear objectives and provided steady leadership despite adversity, challenge, and historic change in America. There is no doubt where this administration stands on our Nation’s priorities and Vice President Cheney and I are ready with a positive and hopeful agenda to lead America forward for another four years.

I am looking forward to this campaign and I am going to give it my all. I am counting on people like you to do the same.

Again, your support means a lot to Laura and me.

On to victory!

Sincerely

George W. Bush

Dear Mr. Castleman:

While awaiting the final outcome 2000 Presidential Election I thought I’d take the time to say ‘thank you’ for your efforts on behalf of safe secure candidate and surrogate visits.

From the initial early visits to Oregon by Governor and Mrs. Bush to the late in campaign visits by Secretary Cheney and other members of the campaign you delivered at a high level of performance and professionalism. Your attention to the myriad of details helped us to accommodate the press and other last minute issues. You focused your attention on the integrity and protection of the motorcade and traveling party. You worked extremely well with both U.S. Secret Service and local law enforcement.

The bottom line was that all Oregon visits by the soon to be President of the United States, George W. Bush and his campaign, went smoothly and without incident. You played a vital role in helping achieve that critical space.

To whom it may concern:

This is a letter of reference for Scott Castleman regarding his work apprehending three employees of the Patton Home who were stealing. Mr. Castleman agreed to investigate the numerous thefts, which were occurring at the home. Within two weeks, he identified, questioned and got confessions from three suspects.

Mr. Castleman is a professional. He came into the home under the cover of a college student doing a project. He was able to talk with residents and staff without arousing suspicion. When there was enough evidence to implicate the suspects, he effectively questioned them to achieve the desired results. All three employees were terminated and one is being prosecuted.

I really appreciate Mr. Castleman for protecting the residents, other employees and the business from possible retaliation from the suspects. Having a third party involved in the investigation and termination brought a sense of detachment to the experience.
I strongly recommend Mr. Castleman to anyone needing assistance in an investigation. If I can be of further assistance, please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,

Donna Shackelford

I run a small law firm in Clackamas County, Oregon, that requires the service of competent private investigators to assist in providing clients successful legal representation.  Over the years I’ve utilized a wide range of investigators to varying results.  In 2005, I retained the services of Scott R. Castleman and the investigative team of the Corporate Crime Control Association. I found the organization and approach to investigations well superior to all other competitors.  Since 2005 Corporate Crime Control has been my law firm’s sole provider of investigative services dealing with a wide range of matters from criminal defense to crime victim representation to personal injury plaintiff representation. 

Scott Castleman and his associates have provided investigations of the highest quality with an eye on detail, a commitment to established timelines and a knack for locating information one would otherwise assume impossible to acquire.  Since making the decision to utilize Corporate Crime Control exclusively for my practice, it has been my pleasure to enjoy their ability to work intricately with professionals who understand the need for efficient results and apply creative solutions to difficult problems.  Further, Corporate Crime Control’s presence in the greater Portland area makes it easy to approach cases in a wide rage of jurisdictions without losing efficiency or effectiveness.

I am pleased to recommend Scott Castleman and the Corporate Crime Control to any law firm needing investigative assistance.  You will find the staff personable, requests quickly responded to and your representation more effective.  When you retain Corporate Crime Control, you retain a group of investigators who understand what it means to construct an approach to a legal problem and understand how to locate information to support that approach.  Quite simply, Corporate Crime Control is the very best provider of private investigative services that I’ve experienced.

Sincerely,
