Who We Are

Two decades of law enforcement.

Southern Charm Investigations is led by Josh Baar, a retired police officer with 20 years of law enforcement experience in a large metropolitan city, including undercover surveillance work, service as a crisis and hostage negotiator, and years one a DUI squad where he became a certified DRE (Drug Recognition Expert). He has testified as an expert witness in multiple high-profile trials. That background means knowing how cases are built, where evidence goes wrong, and how to document findings so they hold up in court.
