Our Mission at NPI is simple:
“WE ARE TRUTH FINDERS”
Joan Bauer, Founder of NPI
I trained to be a police officer from and with some of the best, at the Cincinnati Police Academy. I quickly learned that being a police officer is a calling; and I was called. I was captivated and proud to work in many aspects of police work. While working in the vice unit, I found an affinity for investigation work.
“I know how important it is to have someone in your corner. We are not in this line of work to ‘chase the dollar’ but because it is the right thing to do. Our goal at NPI is to stand out because we are exceptional; we help because we can. We succeed because we think outside of the box and never give up.” – Joan Bauer
Our names and faces are not important — what we do is.
Private Investigators at NPI
Each team member meets and exceeds the standards for what we call the “highest caliber of private investigators.” Among our numbers are highly decorated individuals from all levels of law enforcement, lauded scholars, and pioneers in their fields. These certified experts compose our team; however, only after NPI balances their impressive experience with its core mission. In a “meeting of the minds”, Joan Bauer vets each investigator on their dedication to finding the truth — and nothing but.
Due to the sensitive nature of investigations and to protect our team, we keep the identities of NPI investigators close to the vest. Our names and faces are not important — what we do is. We also think you will agree, as we use our out-of-the-box tactics and strategies (including covert operations) to get results.
