Owner and Lead Investigator Catherine "Kate" Malapanes
Colorado Private Investigator License PI2-0000368
A veteran of the United States Air Force, honorably discharged at the rank of Captain, I recently retired
from the US Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement. After 7 years
with US Immigration and Naturalization Service in Alaska, and another 3 years in Seattle, WA, I moved to
Grand Junction, Colorado, which has been my home now for over 15 years.
During my time as an INS and ICE Criminal Investigator, Special Agent, Deportation Officer and Supervisor,
I was known for my persistence in surveillance, and thorough investigations. My experience in Immigration
bonds and arrests allow me to coordinate with ICE offices to surrender bonded aliens smoothly and safely.
In addition, my experience as a volunteer firefighter, Emergency Trauma Technician, Wilderness First
Responder, Search and Rescue (SAR) volunteer, SAR K9 handler, and many, many years as an
instructor, enhance my classes in First Aid, CPR, AED, BBP, Search and Rescue, Man-tracking and many more .
Call me or complete the contact form, and see what I can do for you.
