Greg Mengell has 15 years experience in the investigation of missing children cases. He draws on a multitude of life experiences that give him an excellent insight into the criminal mind. He has served in VISTA – The domestic peace corp. in the early 1970’s in South/Central Los Angeles working with offenders in a diversion effort. He later worked with disturbed youth in Southern California in the mid 1970’s. After some years in the security field he was hired by CDC and is presently retired from that position with retired Peace Officer status.

He worked for several years in Aerospace Weather Satellite endeavors when a child was taken from his town. He was made aware of the seriousness of this problem which led to the founding of I.A.S.C. in the late 1980’s and its incorporation in 1990. Since then I.A.S.C. and Mr. Mengell have received awards and letters of appreciation from:

California State Senate
California State Assembly
National Center for Missing and Exploited Children - 3 times
Sacramento County Board of Supervisors
Rancho Cordova Community Council

He has in recent years received one of Sacramento’s most cherished awards in the social/law enforcement field – the “Heart of a Hero” for years of dedicated work with at-risk children.

It is timely to note that Mr. Mengell is a graduate of D.O.J. (Department of Justice) classes in terrorist and intelligence Development training. He also has received training in Executive Protection from the California State Police Academy. He has been in ongoing training thru OJJDP (Office of Juvenile Justice Delinquency Prevention) and N.C.M.E.C. (National Center for Missing and Exploited Children) since 1989. He has received awards along with others in 2000 from R.C.M.P. (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) in Montreal.

Rod Watson is a founding member of I.A.S.C. He graduated from Baylor University in Texas and has worked for many years as a private investigator in East Texas. He has been with Harrison County Adult Probation for two decades. Time and time again he has been called upon to handle some of I.A.S.C.’s most challenging tasks and is always ready to be of help. He was given a letter of appreciation from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and from I.A.S.C. for conspicuous bravery in saving his neighbors from a fugitive sexual predator. An intervention that nearly cost him his life. He has been a valued member since 1989. He and I.A.S.C. hold a recommendation from the Texas Rangers.

Paul Cross has been involved with I.A.S.C. for the past 8 years. Prior to this, Mr. Cross was an intelligence specialist for the California Department of Justice with over thirty-four years of experience culminating in his work in the sexual predator unit.

His skill in evaluating offender activity and defining a case brought him much praise within our firm. Last year Paul was awarded the “We the People” plaque for his endeavors.
