James Lewis Investigative Consulting (J.L.I.C.)
AI-Driven Strategy. Tactical Investigations. Property Protection.
Welcome to James Lewis Investigative Consulting — where real-world expertise, AI-powered technology, and legal precision converge to deliver elite results for property owners, landlords, and HOA members throughout California. While K.A.G. Investigations provides licensing compliance in support of our California State credentials, every strategy, investigation, and design blueprint is directed by me — James Lewis — a 33-year law enforcement veteran and the mind behind Lewis Surveillance and the national initiative IDAP2025.
This is also the official home base of IDAP2025, the Illegal Dumping Abatement Program powered by AI. Operated from right here at James Lewis Investigative Consulting, IDAP2025 uses advanced surveillance integration, predictive analytics, and strategic consulting to assist municipalities and enforcement agencies across the country in documenting, prosecuting, and eradicating illegal dumping. Every enforcement model, deployment plan, and grant-backed strategy originates from this hub — combining street-tested methods with AI precision.
Why We Exist
Today’s regulatory landscape is flooded with complex laws, power-abusing HOAs, and tenant protections that are often exploited. California’s Davis-Stirling Act and San Francisco’s Rent Control system weren’t made for the average homeowner to fight alone — which is where I come in.
My mission is clear: protect your rights, document the truth, and ensure that justice is not just pursued — but proven.
Backed by advanced surveillance tools and enhanced by AI-based analytics, J.L.I.C. operates with the efficiency of a firm and the precision of a specialist.
What Powers My Work: AI Integration in Every Phase
Unlike traditional investigators, I leverage next-generation tools to work smarter, faster, and deeper. My investigative workflows are powered by the same AI backbone that supports major tech companies and enforcement agencies. These tools include:
- ChatGPT-4o for legal strategy drafting and AI analysis
- Runway ML for forensic video enhancement
- Plate Recognizer for automated license plate tracking
- Descript & Synthesia for video/audio intelligence reports
- Blue Iris integrations for AI-managed surveillance
This isn’t outsourced tech. This is hands-on AI deployment, adapted weekly, tested in real time, and aligned with my flagship initiative — IDAP2025 (Illegal Dumping Abatement Program) — a nationwide AI-backed enforcement model that has redefined how evidence is gathered and acted upon.
