Personnel Security Consultants, Inc. – where our commitment revolves around safeguarding our families and communities was founded by President Michele Justice, boasting over 30 years of expertise in employee background screening and training development. Personnel Security Consultants, Inc. stands as a national authority in personnel security. Our reach extends across federal and private sectors, with a distinctive focus on serving Tribes and Tribal Organizations.
Since our establishment in 2004, PSC has forged enduring connections with Native American Tribal communities. Michele Justice is an enrolled member of the Navajo Nation. As a 100% Native American woman-owned, certified small-disadvantaged business, Personnel Security Consultants, Inc. has successfully graduated from the U.S. Small Business Administration 8(a) certification program and the e-200 Emerging Leaders Program. Our focus centers on delivering top-notch investigative and training services, guided by the cultural principles of honesty, hard work, and humility.
Personnel Security Consultants, Inc. started as a simple thought to provide training to Tribes and Tribal organizations who were required to establish background checks for employees and others who had regular contact or control over Indian children. The thought turned into a discussion and that discussion turned into action.
Our first client was the Hopi Tribe who asked if Michele Justice could travel to their community to provide a training presentation for a conference they were hosting. Then one Tribe after another asked for training. Our training programs were developed based on the need of the communities we wanted most to help.
As our training programs grew, more asks from our Tribal communities turned into the services we offer to: Full background investigation packages, Fingerprinting services, Adjudication services, and On-line background screening.
After seventeen years of Federal service as a security specialist and coordinator for suspected child abuse reports, Michele decided it was time to take what she had learned in ceremonial teachings, life experiences, and employment to help protect children by starting a business: Personnel Security Consultants, Inc. A commitment to protect our collective families and communities was the focus from the start and continues today.
PSC President Michele Justice, an enrolled member of the Navajo Nation and of Hispanic descent, is a licensed Private Investigator and is recognized as a national expert in personnel security. She has over 30 years of experience in training development, employee background investigations, and adjudications. Years of continually working with and traveling to Tribal communities ensures Personnel Security Consultants is always well-informed and ready to provide the true needs for the clients and communities being served.
