Tim's Story

Timothy A. Dimoff, Founder and President of SACS Consulting & Investigative Services, Inc., is considered one of the nation’s leading authorities in high-risk workplace and human resource issues, security, vulnerability assessments, terrorism and crime.

Dimoff’s story reads like a Hollywood movie. He spent over 20 years as an award winning narcotics detective before sustaining a career ending injury during a chaotic drug raid. Dimoff had to rethink his life and his career and decided to turn his vast law enforcement experience in a new direction. He founded SACS Consulting & Investigative Services, Inc., a firm dedicated to helping corporations gain control of spiraling workplace crime and other high risk workplace issues. He is board certified by ASIS (American Society of Industrial Security) as Certified Protection Professional (CPP™), a designation that indicates board certification in security management and is recognized worldwide as the highest recognition accorded a security practitioner. He is also a TASA (Technical Advisory Services of America) board certified legal expert in police and in corporate security procedures and training. Dimoff is the founder of the innovative “Equalizer” pro bono program in Ohio that helps victims of violent crime establish new identities and a sense of safety after experiencing an attack.

Dimoff shares his vast knowledge and experience at the national level as a speaker, trainer, investigator and author. He is sought after as a keynote speaker and expert legal witness, and has appeared on national radio and television shows including Dateline, NBC and CNN, and in major newspapers including The Chicago Tribune, The New York Times, The LA Times, The Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal. Dimoff speaks throughout the United States to corporations, schools and parents. He has written four books, including How to Recognize Substance Abuse, and Life Rage, a chilling examination of societal rage and safeguards against it. Dimoff is also nationally recognized for his expertise in developing training programs for corporations, law enforcement, security agencies, and other organizations. He is a nationally recognized expert on violent behavior and criminal investigation and has provided crime commentary and profiling analysis on television and radio appearances including MSNBC, CNN, and Court TV. As a consultant to law enforcement and the media, Dimoff has been called upon to examine evidence from crime scenes and victim and witness reports to develop an offender profile.

Dimoff draws on his first-hand experience in both law enforcement and his years in the corporate world to be a national spokesperson on issues including:

  • High Risk and Security Issues
  • Corporate Investigations
  • Drugs and Substance Abuse
  • Law Enforcement Procedures
  • Human Resource Issues
  • Liability Issues from Hiring to Firing
  • Identity Theft
  • Victim Justice

Winner of innumerable state and local awards for business, safety, leadership and civic achievement, Dimoff and SACS Consulting and Investigative Services, Inc. was awarded the Weatherhead 100 Award as one of Ohio’s fastest-growing companies. He is a member of the Technical Advisory Services of America, a national expert witness service utilized by attorneys across the nation; the Ohio and International Narcotic Associations; the Ohio and National Society for Human Resource Managers; and the American Society for Industrial Security.

Dimoff holds a B.S. in Sociology, with an emphasis in criminology, from Denison University. He is also a certified instructor in both law enforcement and private security, and an advocate for stronger laws protecting and assisting victims of crime.

Dimoff has embraced the entrepreneurial spirit for most of his life. During his esteemed career, he has guided many companies through the start-up, development and growth phases, including six firms he personally founded and sold.
