B.R. security firm adding private investigation division

Lofton Security Service, a subsidiary of Baton Rouge-based Lofton Staffing Services, says it’s expanding operations to include private investigation. Lofton Security’s private investigation division will provide clients with investigatory law services in civil and domestic cases as well as insurance fraud. “Lofton has always strived to be more than a security company, but a true partner to our clients,” says Lofton Director of Security Jay Babin. “We see this as an opportunity not only to help our clients, but to help the insurance industry with cases of fraud.” The investigation division will provide services in general investigations, family law investigations, background searches, process services, surveillance, locate services and vehicle background reports. The division is licensed in Louisiana and Texas, throughout which Lofton has 10 offices. Since its founding in 1979, Lofton has grown from a small firm to a full-service corporation with consulting, staffing, security, energy, and medical staffing services.
