Meet The Investigator

My Name is Investigator Raymond C. Ranno

Owner Of Ranno Investigative Services, LLC

We understand that your investigation is very important to you. The most important thing to look for when searching for an investigator to help you with your case is experience. The owner of Ranno Investigative Services, Raymond C. Ranno, has been a licensed Private Investigator in Connecticut for over 30 years. He has worked with hundreds of attorneys, most of the insurance companies licensed to to business in Connecticut, self insured companies, universities, police departments and the private sector in a wide range of investigations. The amount of years licensed and types of investigations offered, make Ranno Investigative Services one of the most experienced in Connecticut.

As the owner and primary investigator, Raymond Ranno, began his investigative career as an apprenticing investigator with a small agency in the South End of Hartford, CT. (Hartford Security Investigators) That agency specialized in infidelity investigations as well as locating missing persons. Investigator Ranno worked a wide array of cases while with that agency.

Investigator Ranno then transferred to another, larger investigation company in Southington, CT. (Countermeasures Surveillance & Investigations). That agency specialized in surveillance of Workers Compensation and Liability Insurance Fraud cases. There Investigator Ranno perfected the art of mobile surveillance, covert surveillance with hidden cameras, hiding in plain sight and undercover investigations. Investigator Ranno completed the remainder of his 5 year apprenticeship, which is required in the State of Connecticut, at that agency. Investigator Ranno then obtained his State of Connecticut license as a Private Detective.

Investigator Ranno, and another Investigator from that agency then opened their own agency. (ESI Investigations). That agency was based out of East Hartford, CT. ESI Investigations quickly became one of the largest insurance fraud detective agencies in Connecticut. Our client base was almost every insurance company that was licensed in the State of Connecticut. During the time our agency was open, we caught hundreds, if not thousands of fraudulent claimants committing insurance fraud. When opening a new division of our agency, ESI Investigations brought in, Ken Tramadeo, a retired Newington Police Officer, who handled our Criminal Defense and Personal Injury Investigations. Investigator Ranno worked closely with Investigator Tramadeo for many years, perfecting investigative skills in locating missing persons, witness interviews, personal injury claims, criminal defense investigations, techniques for testifying, asset searches, bug sweeping, GPS Tracking and more. Investigator Tramadeo has since passed and is sorely missed.

In 2001, as ESI Investigations was becoming quite large, Investigator Ranno felt the agency was no longer for him. Investigator Ranno separated from ESI Investigations and opened Ranno Investigative Services based in Middletown, CT. (50 Highland Avenue, Suite 2). Investigator Ranno, working as the detective in a single-person investigation agency, found it more effective and efficient to obtain results for his clients. With Investigator Ranno and Ranno Investigative Services, every investigation report, surveillance video, witness statement and testimony is handled by Investigator Ranno, the owner, which has proved to be very importantto our clientele. 

To this day, Investigator Ranno continues to work as a single-person detective here in Connecticut. After 32 years in the business, Investigator Ranno is a trusted source by many attorneys, clients as well as local and state police departments. As a potential client visiting our website, you can be assured that if you need services from our agency, you will ALWAYS get Investigator Ranno when you call and he will always be working on your case.

Owner Of Ranno Investigative Services, LLC

If it’s experience you’re looking for in an investigator, you may want to give my agency a call. I, personally, have been in the field of Private Investigations in Connecticut Licensed and Insured for over 30 years. I have worked with hundreds of attorneys, insurance companies, self insured companies, universities, police departments and the private sector in a wide range of investigations that now make our agency one of the most experienced in Connecticut.

Just for a little background, I first began my investigative career, as an apprenticing investigator, with a small agency in the South side of Hartford, CT. Hartford Security Investigators specialized in infidelity investigations as well as locating missing persons. We had a wide array of cases we worked in Connecticut as well as across the nation.

I then moved to another, larger, investigation company in Southington, CT. That company specialized in surveillance of Insurance Fraud cases. There I perfected the art of mobile surveillance, covert surveillance with hidden cameras, and undercover investigations. I completed the remainder of my 5 year apprenticeship there and then obtained my State of Connecticut license as a Private Detective.

A co-worker and I then opened our own agency, ESI Investigations, which was based out of East Hartford, CT. We quickly became one of the largest insurance fraud detective agencies in Connecticut. We worked for every insurance company that was licensed in the State of Connecticut and caught hundreds, if not thousands of fraudulent claimants. We also brought in, Ken Tramadeo, a retired Newington Police Officer who handled our Criminal Defense and Personal Injury Investigations. I worked closely with Ken for many years and perfected additional skills in personal injury, criminal defense, techniques for testifying and much more. Ken has passed since and is sorely missed.

In 2001, as our agency was becoming quite large and I felt I was no longer investigating but training those who worked for our agency, I separated from ESI and opened Ranno Investigative Services based in Middletown, CT. I liked working as a single-person agency as every Investigation I conducted was done with my expertise and care. Every investigation report, surveillance video, witness statement and testimony was handled by me, the owner, which was very important to my clientele.

To this day, I continue to work as a single-person detective agency here in Connecticut. After 30 years in the business, I am trusted by my clients and am able to obtain the evidence they are looking for in a timely manner.
