Who Is P.I. Radames?
Radames Rodriguez Jr. is a licensed Illinois private investigator (License #115-002640) with over 20 years of experience — including service in the Illinois Army National Guard, the Norridge Police Department, the Cook County Sheriff's Department, five years as a PI at NSIU, and as a City of Chicago BACP Supervisor, before founding P.I. Radames in 2020.
I started this YouTube channel because too many people hire the wrong PI — or don't hire one when they should. The channel exists to change that.
