I was hired by them in Arizona they told me they had a guest pass to operate in Arizona as a agency found out that was a lie When it was time to pay me they said they didn't have funds to cover my pay and I wasn't, paid...
I have resigned after finding the truth from Arizona DPS that there is no guest pass and they are operating illegally
Plus they still can't pay my payroll

Rodriguez put me on a targeted gang stalking watch list because I would no longer allow him to embezzle my tax money and then my checks wouldn't cash. The sociopath I've never in my life seen somebody so entirely delusional about who he is and what is legal he needs to be taken care of and we need to sue the [censored] out of him I am now on a targeted list I can't get off of I am mobbed everyday when I go to work I'm just my life is destroyed because of him and I'm going to take action I just don't know which direction to turn to first !

I also worked for them in AZ. The manager Richard who replied in the previous complaint is a liar. He stated he was a deputy sheriff in Fresno CA and that they were cleared by DPS in AZ as internal opertions. GUESS WHAT THEY WERE NOT. I called DPS they came to me and took pics of all the stuff the Richard gave me that wasn't approved. I have txt messages that I can show stating that he lied about being a cop. STAY AWAY FROM CAL VALLEY SECURITY AT ALL COST

#1 They Cal Valley to this date as not paid me a dime for my wages. I have a judgement against them in the amount of $2, 500 plus times 3 Richard told me he was a Deputy in Fresno as well when I was hired . He claims I was arrested in the end the judge sided with me and all charges were dropped I never posed as a cop and never will nor do I have any desire to be cop. Richard just doesn't like to pay people that works for him. I don't know how they are still operating in Arizona if you look on Linkedin you will find Martin Santos as their resident manager . Yes I will complain when not payed who wouldn't ?

### scam artists! They told me i was going to be making 13 an hour and only paid me 11. They offer NO benefits, i had to use my own vehicle for patrols and i was never given a company uniform. I finally got tired of waiting for a uniform so i bought my own on amazon. Richard Rodriguez still owes me money! He avoids my calls and doesnt respond to my txts. UNPROFESSIONAL frauds!
