We are in a crisis and must have someone fearless that knows the streets to bring our young lady home who is a victim of human trafficking . . We are so impressed with his credentials and superb character , there is little doubt we will not succeed on our journey . With his protection as well as finess and grace we are following his lead into theses dark corners. . No one is more qualified in Chicago to negotiate these delicate situations. . I interviewed many other detectives . He is passionate about the cause of human trafficking and that is exactly the quality I was looking for , he will get her home. .It is a absolute miracle he responded and I knew he was the perfect fit.

After 25 years of marriage, 3 children and 2 wonderful grand children, my husband wanted a divorce.
He swore that he was not leaving me for another woman and that he still loved me deeply but that he just isn’t happy and was unwilling to work thing through or go to counseling.
Suspicious, I decided to hire a private investigator. I spoke with many, but was very impressed by Carlos Rodriguez and his Detective Agency.
Within days of starting the investigation, I was provided with video and photo of my now ex-husband and his much younger mistress/girlfriend that he was showering with gifs and expensive dinners and getaways to Wisconsin Dells where Carlos and his investigators followed him to.
In the end, with Carlos‘ great work and evidence, I was able to make the argument of the “dissipation of funds”.
I kept the house, was awarded my court cost, life time maintenance and my ex husband is now living in his sister’s basement!
I highly recommend the Detective Agency!! Ask to talk to Carlos Rodriguez, the owner of the agency. He will take your call, listen to you and offer the best advice.
Sincerely,
Cynthia

Our daughter was going though a terrible child custody with our Ex son-in-law who didn’t even want custody of our grandchild.
It was his wealthy parents who he lived with who were pushing and financing his legal fees.
Our Ex son-in-law didn’t even take part in our granddaughter’s care during his parenting time and left our granddaughter to be careful for by his parents while he went out drinking, smoking weed, getting high and partying with his friends over the weekend and would only drive our granddaughter home.
We pleaded with the GAL who told us we needed proof? We hired Carlos Rodriguez and on his first day of investigation took video evidence of our ex son-in-law leaving for the weekend within an hour of our granddaughter being dropped off at his parents house. Carlos and his team gathered video evidence of our ex-son-in-law up in Lake Geneva partying and having a great time of his life.
This evidence has helped my daughter’s case tremendously… I would recommend Carlos to anyone!!!

My husband have over 25 years, 3 children, 1 grandchildren came home, sat me down and told me he wanted a divorce. I begged of him for us to seek counseling and to talk to our church pastor, but he would not.
My sister convinced me to hire a private investigator and I chose to hire Carlos Rodriguez because of his great reviews, experience and successful results.
Within weeks, Carlos and his team of investigators were able to find out that my husband was having an affair with one of our employees of our family business and that my husband had opened up a bank account and was hiding assets money and a condo in this woman’s name in preparation for leaving me. in the end I was awarded over $150,000 in lifetime maintenance from my ex-husband.
Thank you Carlos!! You are truly a God sent angel 🙏🏼

I’ve been divorced for a little over nine years and live in Florida now and have been paying court ordered lifetime maintenance to my ex-wife for years.
Over the summer. I learned that my ex wife may be cohabitating with another man.
I hired Total Protection Consultants and they were able to obtain the evidence, photos and videos needed for the judge to terminate my financial maintenance obligation.
I recommend anyone looking for a good, professional, experienced private Detective Agency to higher this agency!
The owner, Carlos Rodriguez is a former law enforcement investigator and took the time to always take my phone calls, and answer all of my questions.
These guys are the best, have a lot of resources and are the real deal and respected by the court.

I am currently going through a divorce where my husband lied on his financial affidavit about and concealed bank accounts, real estate and shares that he has in a company that he and his side of the family started during our marriage years ago that he had claimed was dissolved. My attorney was hitting a brick wall and suggested that I find a Private Investigator. I spoke with many but I hired Total Protection Consultants because of their great reputation for getting results. Their CEO, Mr. Rodriguez is a former law enforcement investigator who has worked in investigating organized crime and has an understanding of how criminals scheme, launder and hide money and assets and he was successful in finding my husbands assets and expose my husband and his family for the liars that they are and how they committed fraud before the court. I recommend this detective agency to anyone who is going through what I went through. They truly are the best and will fight for you 100%. Thank you Mr. Rodriguez! You are an angel 🙏🙏🙏 More...
Phil & Janet H.
We were having issues with a client who wasn’t paying rent leaving is no other choice but to start an eviction process. The Sheriff’s Department was unable to serve the tenant because he was dodging service.
We hired Total Protection Consultants and they were able to conduct surveillance and eventually able to serve the tenant who hired an attorney who went to court and told the judge that the wrong person was served and that the case needed to be dismissed. Just when we thought that we would have to go through this ordeal all over again and contacted the owner of the Detective agency, Mr. Carlos Rodriguez, he reminded us that he utilizes a body cam and the service on the tenant was captured on video. We were able to show the judge the footage of the service on the tenant and the judge ruled in our favor and our eviction was granted along with a judgement for the unpaid rent and court cost. When the tenant told the court that he was unemployed, Mr.Rodriguez again to our rescue was able to prove that the tenant was working for cash for his uncle’s construction company. I’m the end we were able to get position of our condo and work out a pay arrangement to recoup our loss. Thank You Carlos!!!! You are the best!!!!

For the longest time I had suspected that my spouse was cheating on me but could never prove it and I was always told that I was crazy, had issues and that I was the one cheating.
,
I began researching on line for a good Private Investigation company to get me the proof that I needed.
I came across Total Protection Consultants and saw their remarkable 5 star reviews that they’ve received from their clients and that they offer a free consultation. I received an immediate response and spoke with the owner of the detective agency, Mr. Carlos Rodriguez and he was extremely professional, polite, understanding and compassionate and allowed me to vet out my fears, concerns and desire to know everything that was going on and that I am not crazy!
Carlos was able to get all the evidence that included the fact that my spouse was using a burner phone, another email address, a P.O. Box and provided me videotaped footage of my spouse being in a romantic and affectionate relationship with a co-worker who is married!! I now have what I need to file for a divorce and Carlos has offered to serve the divorce papers on my spouse when my spouse and their lover are together and have it videotaped for me so that I can have it as evidence when my spouse tells me, our children and our friends and families that I am crazy!!!
Thank you Carlos and your team of amazing Detectives! You guys are the best and truly God sent 🙏

I was going through a very contentious divorce and child custody battle. My ex husband, who is a business owner was hiding money and other assets that he had accumulated during our marriage. My divorce attorney strongly recommended that I call Mr. Rodriguez, the owner of Total Protection Consultants. Mr. Rodriguez was very kind, understanding and compassionate. He and his team of Detectives were able to locate many assets that my ex-husband was hiding in other people’s names (mostly relatives) that my ex-husband did not disclose during the court proceedings. I recommend Mr. Rodriguez and his Detective agency to anyone going through a divorce, custody battle or having money hidden from them. They truly are the best!!! More...

I am still in the middle of working with C.E.O. Carlos Rodríguez from Total Protection Consultants, Inc....but I need to say that upon me searching for a snowball's slim chance in fiery hell to finally partner up with literally anyone who would listen to my case, lo-&-behold Carlos shows up with his flowing superhero cape. I can't believe how fast Carlos responded. My case is extremely sensitive and substantial... Carlos strikes all the right nerves of hope and confidence in our family. I cannot wait to be done with this particular issue and Total Protection Consultants is the absolute real-deal in the game. There's SO MUCH more to them than what their website shows. You're getting a TOTAL PACKAGE with TOTAL PROTECTION CONSULTANTS. Love these guys like they're family. They ARE family. -Orlando More...

I broke up with my Ex-fiancé over two years ago. Since that time he has been stalking and threatening me. In this time I have moved a couple times, got a PO Box but he always still found me and showed up at my new place.
He always seem to know everywhere I went and who I was hanging out with. I’m a hospice nurse and spend much time going to patients homes to administer care for them and there were times when I would be leaving my patient’s home and would see my Ex parked across the street or following me. I did file police reports and I was always told it was not enough to arrest him on. I was advised to hire a private investigator to get the proof that I needed for an order of protection.
I hired Total Protection Consultants, Inc. The first thing they did was swept my car and found a GPS that was mounted under my car. They then set up an undercover sting and drove my car to a hotel and waited for my Ex to show up and he did the investigators took video of him walking to my car and flattening one of my tires. My Ex was arrested immediately and the police found two large knifes and mace in his car.
I was finally able to get an emergency order of protection thanks to the evidence that these brave investigators got me!
This agency also offers concealed carry classes and I intend to take the class with my sister and cousin who is also a nurse.
I highly recommend this agency! They are very professional and bad ass!!!

I filed a law suite against a contractor who I hired to rehab one of my buildings that I purchased. The contractor started the job and then just as soon as the check that I gave him cleared he stopped doing the work and just took off not returning my phone calls. The Cook County Sheriff’s Dept. was unable to locate the contractor because he was hiding. I hired three private investigation firms any they couldn’t find him either. Then I was referred to Carlos Rodriguez who is a former police officer. Carlos owns total protection. Carlos and his team of detectives found the contractor that no one else could find living in Dyer, Indiana and because they are also process servers they were able to serve the contractor with the court paperwork in just enough time because the statute of limitation for me to take him to court and sue him was coming to an end. These detectives found and had the contractor served within 3 days of me hiring them! I recommend these guys to anyone who needs a good private investigator! They are bad ass! More...

I’ve been involved in a very long and very expensive custody battle with my soon to be ex husband who has multiple arrest, DUI’s and a possession conviction.
He has gotten away with so much and the court system completely sucks!!!
When my ex had the children, he was leaving them with his parents or his sister to watch while he went out and partied all night. It was obvious the only reason he wanted custody of the children was so he wouldn’t have to pay child support and as a matter of fact was asking the court for maintenance from me and punishing me for having a two jobs to support my children! My attorney suggested that I hire a private investigating company and I spoke with many of them. I decided to hire Total Protection Consultants because they understood exactly what was needed for me to win in court and to expose my ex and a unfit father. These investigators gathered video evidence of my ex dropping the kids off at his parents house and then going back to his house to change and hit the streets and a bars where he stayed out until 3:00am. The undercover investigators were able to take video footage of my ex drinking beer after beer and a couple of shots with uncover cameras. They also got footage of my ex’s parents taking the kids to an IHOP restaurant, kohl’s and ice cream shop in the mall. Then they brought my kids home and my ex drove them home to me. On the way home he sent me a text message saying that he had taken the kids to breakfast and to the mall and bought them clothes pretending to be the father that he really is not. My ex was exposed as a liar, a drunk and the fraud that he is. I won the custody battle thanks to these great private investigators. The owner of the company is Carlos. He is a former police officer and knows what to do. He has always taken my calls and calmed me down when I wanted to drive to my ex’s parents and take my kids. Patients prevailed and in the end I won!!!

I suspected that my husband of 7 years was being unfaithful. Call it a gut instinct or a woman’s intuition. I called Total Protection Consultants Detective Agency and they provided me with a free consultation that consisted of them asking me if any of the following signs described my husband‘s behavior: Does he safe guard his password protected cell phone, YES! Does he take phone calls and send text messages in other rooms, YES! Does he leave the house earlier or Does he come home later and say that he had to work, YES! Is there a lack of interest or intimacy with me, YES! At this point I knew that it wasn’t me, I knew that I wasn’t crazy so I hired these Detectives and they conducted undercover surveillance and brought me back evidence (videos & photos) of my husband having an affair with a co-worker! As hard as it was to see these videos of my husband and father of my children kissing and holding the hand of another woman that was so devastating but I needed this evidence for myself, so that I could move on and prove to my family AND HIS that I am not crazy. If you are in thIs situation, I highly recommend that you call this Detective agency. They are not pushy to take your money, their consultation and advise is 100% free. They really do listen and are the best at what they do! More...

In October of 2019, my Ex-Husband stopped paying me child support claiming that he was unemployed. I wasn’t able to pay my rent and the holidays were approaching. I hired Total Protection Consultants, Inc. They were able to get video taped evidence of my Ex-Husband working for one of friends who owns a construction company who was paying my Ex-Husband cash! I was able to use the evidence in court and my Ex-Husband was ordered to pay me immediately or be put in jail. THANK YOU!!!!! I recommend this Detective agency to anyone who’s going through a divorce or child support issues.

What do you love most about your job?
We love working cases where we rescue a kidnap/human trafficking victim. We enjoy helping the public with their needs as every case is unique and offers its own sets of challenges.
What inspired you to start your own business?
My inspiration comes from being a former United States Marine and Law Enforcement officer where I worked as a Gang Crimes investigator and prevented the distribution of illegal weapons and drugs among violent street gangs,
I wanted to utilize my training, experience, and tenacity to help crime victims and make them feel that they are not just a number and that they make a difference.
Why should our clients choose you?
In my law enforcement career, I have worked murder, kidnapping, rape, robbery, and extortion investigations. My extensive experience enables me to effectively head up all major investigations, especially those cases that require undercover, covert surveillance, and sting operations work. Being a former US Marine Corps provides me with the discipline and the attention to detail skills needed to accomplish the mission in a timely fashion.
I have saved lives, rescued kidnapping / Human Trafficking victims. I have been involved in and lead both large and small scale investigations that required a wide range of skills to ensure that cases were properly handled and processed so they could be prosecuted.
I am involved in each and every case to ensure that all angles are covered and no detail is left to chance.
Concealed Carry Firearms Training
A crime is committed in the city of Chicago every 15 seconds. Of these crimes, more than half are violent crimes that include armed robberies and home invasions where the offenders are armed with dangerous weapons that to many times, result in the tragic loss of innocent life.
According to a recent 2016 data, collected by the Chicago Police Department, murders have increased more than 88% in the first three months of 2016 compared with the same period last year, making the city of Chicago the nation's third-largest city in murders.
These statistics cannot be ignored. Now more than ever individuals, business and property owners need to protect themselves, their family, their business and their property.
On July 9, 2013, after much litigation, the state of Illinois became the last state in the country to allow an Illinois resident to carry a concealed firearm in public. Since passing that law, many innocent people’s lives have been saved by people exercising their right to own and possess a firearm to protect themselves and their family.
In order to carry a concealed firearm in Illinois, a person must obtain a concealed carry license ("CCL") that is issued by the Illinois State Police. The CCL license permits the licensee to carry a concealed loaded or unloaded handgun on his or her person or within a vehicle.
Total Protection Consultants, Inc. provides a solution to the community’s need in providing individuals, business and property owners, the proper and legal mandatory firearms training and certification required by Illinois law to be issued a CCL, while at the same time teaching the fundamentals of firearm handling, safety, and marksmanship.
