Nothing like a bridge collapse to test your skills. As one of the first retained private investigators at the Interstate 35W bridge disaster, Heartland’s CEO, Paul Jaeb, realized how years heading Minnesota’s premier investigative firm made it possible for him to gather the facts under the most chaotic of conditions. Paul founded Heartland Investigative Group in 1991. His leadership is guided by his wide-ranging experience in legal investigations, background profiling, corporate fraud investigations and security consulting. He has solved dozens of complex corporate fraud cases, conducted dozens of high-level security audits and advised the region’s leading executives on issues related to corporate security. Paul attended the University of Minnesota with a political science major. He’s a Chartered Fraud Investigator™ and is currently serving his fifth term as National Secretary of the National Association of Legal Investigators. He’s an active member of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, the National Council of Investigative and Security Services, the Society of Competitive Intelligence Professionals, and the American Society for Industrial Security. Paul founded the Minnesota Association of Private Investigators and is a former president of the association. |
