Further, Quest's expert consultants network with select former law enforcement officers and intelligence service agents around the world. These highly experienced, multi-talented specialists combine their intimate local knowledge and high-level contacts with expertise in specific investigative and intelligence areas.
Quest's consultants have appeared as expert witnesses in federal courts more than a thousand times combined. They also appear regularly on television and radio, and in print, as experts on terrorism, profiling, kidnapping, extortion, organized crime, murder, theft, and espionage.
Founded in 1996, Quest was formed by four former special agents of the FBI to meet the growing demand for corporate security consulting, investigations, information security and computer forensics, and business continuity. A global consulting firm headquartered in the Chicago area, Quest has associate offices located nationally and throughout the world. Quest's comprehensive services are a combination of experience and knowledge brought to the firm by its team of expert consulting investigators.
