June 22, 2009- Albuquerque, NM- Nick Panagolakos' company continues to operate in Albuquerque without the proper state license. I verified this directly with the PI Board Administrator on Friday, despite the claims of the "Chief's" ex-wife that the business was operating legally.. Big Surprise. She finally stopped blowing up my company phones once I forwarded the e-mail response by RLD stating that the company wasn't licensed. LOL.
Nick Panagolakos and "Deputy Chief" Scott Rodgers have teamed up to provide security in Albuquerque. They state that they are "Private Law Enforcement." Hmmm.. You may see them patrolling the streets in a green Lincoln car with no markings. I hear that one of this company's employees carries multiple guns, knives and even swords. I didn't know a sword was security tool.
The business cards say "Licensed, bonded, insured." I have sent this and much more information to the state for investigation.
Questions can be directed to Nick (505-506-7072) or Scott (967-2127.
**Note- I removed the company name because I was contacted by another local security company that has a US Trademark on the company name. The company is a long-established business and they state that Panagolakos or his partner are using the name in violation of Federal Trademark law, which seems to be the case. He states that has made complaints with the state and federal government entities responsible for this infringment.
Licensing complaints can be made directly to the state of NM- RLD.. CLICK HERE.
ONLY IN NM; RIGHT?

Whelan Security has been operating in New Mexico, at all of the Blue Cross Blue Shield facilities, with an expired PPO license. Why do they continue to put clients at risk?
