As an owner of the Empire Polo Grounds, which hosts the Coachella Valley Music and Arts and Stagecoach Festivals, I have had the pleasure of observing Chief DelGiudice and Supervising Investigator Cervello’s management and supervision of the most critical aspects of the safety and security operations for the events. Their team consists of veteran and experienced law enforcement professionals. The maturity and dependability exhibited by these investigators is truly remarkable.
