About Desert Rose PI
A Surprise, Arizona firm built on honesty, discretion, and a genuine commitment to the people and community we serve.
From Chicago to the Desert —
Built on a Career of Service.
The founder of Desert Rose Private Investigators spent more than 28 years in law enforcement — serving as a Police Officer, Deputy Sheriff, Detective, Sergeant, and Sergeant of Accident Investigations. That career built the investigative skills, attention to detail, and commitment to integrity that still guide the firm today.
After retiring in 2015, the family relocated to Palm Springs, California, where Desert Rose's predecessor firm — Palm Springs Desert Investigators — was established. Those years handled a wide range of cases: surveillance, workers' compensation investigations, infidelity and cheating-spouse matters, civil process serving, and missing persons. That experience sharpened both the technical expertise and the practical, client-focused approach that define the business.
In 2021 the family moved to Arizona, and Desert Rose Private Investigators was born. Today we operate as a small-town private investigations firm dedicated to the local communities of the Northwest Phoenix area. Based in Surprise, Arizona, we are here to help you find the answers you need — whether you have concerns about a spouse, a caretaker, a business partner, or anyone else in your life. We offer free consultations and are ready to listen.

Our Core Values
Honesty Above All
We tell you what we find — not what you want to hear. If the evidence doesn't support your suspicion, we'll tell you that too. You deserve the truth, not a bill.
Discretion Is Non-Negotiable
Your name, your case, your situation — none of it leaves our office. We operate with the same confidentiality a doctor or attorney would provide.
Community First
We live here. Our kids go to school here. We're not a franchise or a call center — we're your neighbors, and we treat every client like one.
Results That Hold Up
Evidence gathered sloppily is useless in court and in life. We document everything methodically so our findings stand up to scrutiny.
