About Jason Goins

fbina.jpg

I have had the privilege of serving in various law enforcement roles for 32 years and have led hundreds of successful criminal, civil, and personnel investigations, including high-level, confidential internal affairs investigations. I have served as the investigator and have also been charged with making final determinations regarding employee discipline.

​

My background includes ten years as detective sergeant for the Merced County Sheriff's Office. During that time, we had the highest rate of solving major crimes in the department's history. 

 

I was later promoted to lieutenant, before being named the county's Undersheriff in 2015. I proudly served in that role as second-in-command until retiring in March of 2021.

​

I continue to have a passion for investigations and the training and experience to support it, including a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice Management and a graduate certificate from the University of Virginia in Criminal Justice. I am also a graduate of the FBI National Academy - Session 248.

​

I am committed to providing detailed investigations that are fair and impartial to support healthy work environments for all.  I am a licensed private investigator through the State of California Bureau of Security and Investigative Services.  License No. PI189231
