About Tim King — 20 Years of Silence.
Built on law enforcement. Driven by truth. Trusted by attorneys, businesses, and individuals across California.
Former Law Enforcement. Licensed Investigator. Trusted Consultant.
Tim King is not your average private investigator. With over 20 years of combined law enforcement and investigative experience, Tim has spent his career doing one thing — uncovering the truth. From his early years in law enforcement to leading complex gang intelligence investigations, Tim has seen every angle of how cases are built, broken, and won.
Based in Bakersfield, California, Tim King Investigative Service & Consulting serves individuals, attorneys, and businesses throughout Kern County and across the state of California. Every case is handled personally by Tim — no junior investigators, no outsourcing, no shortcuts.
Tim's background in gang culture intelligence, gang expertise, inter-agency collaboration, and strategic operations gives him an edge that most private investigators simply cannot match. As a Court-Recognized Gang Expert, a former Terrorism Liaison Officer specialized in threat assessments, and a Court-Recognized Jail Classification & Jail Expert, Tim brings a depth of qualified expertise that few investigators can offer. He doesn't just gather evidence — he understands how that evidence will be used in court, in negotiations, and in real-world outcomes.
When you hire Tim King, you get Tim King. That's the promise.
"The truth doesn't hide forever. My job is to find it before it does."
