When you hire our agency, you aren’t just getting a firm—you’re getting the personal attention of Investigator Ranno himself. He personally conducts every surveillance, interviews every witness, and writes every investigation report to ensure that no detail is missed.
Meet Investigator Raymond C. Ranno
RIS Investigations is founded on the extensive experience of our lead investigator, Raymond C. Ranno. With over 33 years in the investigative field, Investigator Ranno has seen it all. He is a licensed Private Detective in the State of Connecticut (License #A-2089), ensuring that every case we handle meets the highest professional and legal standards.
Meet Investigator Raymond C. Ranno
Ray began his career in a small agency in Hartford, specializing in marital investigations and missing persons cases. He later honed his skills in single-person video surveillance for insurance fraud and workers’ compensation claims before co-founding ESI Video Surveillance & Investigations in 2001. Eventually, Ray realized that his clients were best served by a more personal, hands-on approach. This led to the creation of Ranno Investigative Services, where he serves as the primary investigator.
