Peter Psarouthakis
Peter Psarouthakis is a Licensed Professional Investigator and specializes in investigation services and technical surveillance countermeasures (TSCM). He has developed a large network of investigative and business associates throughout the United States. This network has given Mr. Psarouthakis the ability to perform a multitude of investigative tasks nation wide. It also has given his clientele the ability to find experts and resources that Mr. Psarouthakis may not perform directly himself. By continually updating his education and practicing his craft Mr. Psarouthakis is able to stay up-to-date on the latest developments in the investigations and electronic countermeasures arenas.
Mr. Psarouthakis has been published in the Michigan Manufactures Association’s Enterprise Magazine and PI Magazine Journal of Professional Investigators. He has also been quoted in magazines and newspapers across the country on investigative and security issues in such publications as: The National Jurist, Insider Business Journal, Oakland Tech News, Ann Arbor News, Eagle Tribune, and Investors Business Daily. He has also been interviewed by the regional affiliates of ABC and FOX News on investigative and security matters.
During the 2001 and 2002 Michigan legislative session Mr. Psarouthakis played a major role, as Vice President and legislative committee chairman for the Michigan Council of Private Investigators (MCPI), in the re-writing of the Michigan Private Detective Act of 1965. In addition to helping draft this new legislation Mr. Psarouthakis helped organize and lead an intense lobbying effort, in Michigan’s capitol city of Lansing, on behalf of all Michigan Licensed Private Investigators to pass this important legislation. He provided key House and Senate testimony that would lead to the passing, and signing into law by then Governor John Engler, of Public Act 474 in June of 2002.
Since that time Mr. Psarouthakis has been instrumental in other legislative events that have had a direct bearing on the Private Investigation profession in Michigan. Through his leadership the MCPI was able to gain exemption status for Licensed Professional Investigators from the “restricted zones” of the concealed pistol permits law in Michigan. Additionally, several privacy and anti-surveillance bills were either stopped completely or amended within the legislature, both in Michigan as well as Washington D.C., that would have had a negative effect on the Private Investigation Profession. His intense diligence on legislative matters in Michigan and Washington D.C. continues today on behalf of the Licensed Professional Investigation profession. In 2005 Mr. Psarouthakis became the President of the MCPI and remains such until his term ends in the fall of 2008. Mr. Psarouthakis is also an officer with the National Association of Investigation and Security Services, the national legislative voice for the investigations and security community.
Peter Psarouthakis holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice and an Associates degree in Law Enforcement, both from The University of Toledo. He is a member of The American Society of Industrial Security (ASIS), Espionage Research Institute (ERI), Michigan Council of Private Investigators (MCPI), National Council of Investigation and Security Services (NCISS), National Association of Legal Investigators (NALI), International High Technology Crime Association (HTCIA) and Pi Gamma Mu International Honor Society in Social Science /life member.
