Timothy Dimoff knows his life's defining moment, and he will never forget the impact when he was knocked down with a 150-pound SWAT shield. The next thing Tim knew, he was falling under the weight of two fellow officers as they bailed to escape from a crack house during a drug raid gone bad.
Things were never the same after that point, and soon the doctor was telling Dimoff he was at risk for a permanent disability if he were ever to sustain such an injury again. It was that day in May 1990, when his career as a narcotics detective would soon come to end. With his broken jaw and sore back, Tim knew what he had to do. In his own words, "I decided I was going to chase the American Dream and become an entrepreneur."
Dimoff had a solid record of leadership and was nationally recognized for his role in a $4 million drug bust that crossed state lines and became the first federal racketeering case in Summit County history. A story that would make a good screenplay set the stage as Dimoff was awarded Ohio Policeman of the Year by the state attorney general.
However, leaving law enforcement, Dimoff had a new challenge, and that was how to turn his street smarts into success secrets for business. And succeed he did, as over the next ten years, Dimoff established himself as the number one consultant on high-risk workplace issues.
Dimoff first began his business on familiar turf, office and factory worker drug abuse cases, but soon he moved deeper into corporate security, anti-violence and identity theft assignments. His experiences in growing his company became the foundation for his compelling book, "The You in Business: How to Build a Strong Business from the Inside Out." This book and several others, plus two videos are the result of years of work and experience in growing his business, SACS Consulting & Investigative Services, Inc.
Dimoff's reputation grew as he continued to follow his mantra of "meet people, meet people, meet people," and his expertise in high-risk issues was soon recognized as second to none. Dimoff is now nationally recognized, including his featured role in a special episode of "Dateline NBC" dealing with identity theft. He has also been seen as an expert commentator on CNN and quoted in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and USA Today.
In the beginning, it was Dimoff's exposure to the underside of society that led him to realize Corporate America had a tremendous need for his expertise, combined with certified training and airtight policies and procedures for the workplace. Dimoff, no stranger to explosive workplace issues such as substance abuse, threats, violence and harassment, found a way to help others. Through his business, Dimoff has effectively guided companies in developing programs designed to protect them from the onslaught.
As risks increase in today's workplace, so does the workload for Tim Dimoff and his company, SACS Consulting. The good news, according to Dimoff, is this: "We are here to help. We know what to do. These issues can be controlled and the risks to companies minimized. We are all about solutions."
