As a retired Sergeant in Los Angeles County, Currie's remarkable career extended far beyond patrol duties as a K9 officer, into the challenging territories of homicide investigations, gang intelligence, and high-stakes narcotics operations. His expertise and reputation eventually earned him a position as a Federal Task Force Officer, where he handled some of Southern California's most sensitive and high-profile cases.
Drawing from his extensive background in complex criminal investigations, Currie seamlessly transitioned his tactical and analytical expertise into the private sector, founding Currie Confidential LLC almost twenty years ago.

integrity investigations, reflecting Currie's comprehensive understanding of both traditional and emerging security challenges.

His upcoming works, "Encrypted Patriot" and "The Coin Collector," scheduled for release in mid-2025, promise to further showcase his unique ability to weave complex investigative procedures with pulse-pounding narrative.
Currie's journey from law enforcement professional to private investigator and author transcends a simple career shift—it showcases his ability to integrate three decades of experience from both public service and private investigations into thrilling narratives that give readers an authentic glimpse into these interconnected worlds.
