Doug Hoffman, Owner of Tight Lines Investigations, LLC, is a licensed private investigator and former law enforcement officer with 24 years of service, including 15 years as a Case Detective with the City of Raleigh Police Department. Before entering law enforcement, he served four years in the United States Marine Corps, achieving the rank of Corporal — an experience that forged the discipline, precision, and steady resolve that define his work today.

Throughout his career as a Case Detective, Doug held assignments across Property Crimes and Violent Crimes, building a foundation rooted in methodical investigation and relentless attention to detail. These roles taught him the value of clear communication and the ability to lawfully elicit information from individuals even when cooperation was not in their best interest. His work with the Special Victims Unit introduced him to Multi‑Disciplinary case coordination, strengthening his ability to navigate complex, sensitive investigations with discretion and professionalism.

As his career progressed, Doug spent several years in the Financial Crimes Unit, where the full breadth of his investigative skills came into play daily. It was here that he developed a specialization in Elder Fraud, gaining a deep understanding of diminished capacity, undue influence, and the documentation required to present predatory behavior clearly and effectively for prosecution.
