About Us
The idea of Stratvos was born several years ago when two narcotics agents were in the midst of the biggest case of their careers. An investigative model was perfected and has since been employed at numerous federal, state, and local agencies leading to countless successful prosecutions.
Scott Courrege is a practicing attorney in Louisiana and has been licensed since 2018. Scott's law enforcement career long preceded his legal practice and began in 2000 in Gulfport, Mississippi, where he worked as a uniformed police officer. In 2003, he was hired by the United States Border Patrol as a Patrol Agent and was assigned to the San Diego Sector. Scott quickly was selected for the Sector's elite Air Mobile Unit and received advanced tactical and air assault training. AMU primarily focused enforcement efforts on violent and high-volume border trafficking routes. Scott again progressed his career and in 2006 was hired by DEA as a Special Agent. Scott was assigned to the Phoenix Field Division and worked directly on the international border targeting Mexican drug cartels. Enforcement activities included undercover operations, complex drug investigations, highway interdiction, and Title III wiretaps.
In 2008, Scott was offered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to oversee international security operations for a private diamond dealer. Never adverse to risk and adventure, Scott took the position and spent the following year coordinating the security and transportation of large sums of currency and arranging for the import/export of Kimberly-certified diamonds. Successful operations were performed throughout Africa and Europe. However, Scott's calling to public service never ceased, and in 2009 he made the hard decision to leave the private sector and moved to Louisiana where he was hired by a large sheriff's office. At the sheriff's office, Scott achieved the rank of Sergeant and held assignments in Uniform Patrol, Community Policing, Special Community Anti-Crime Team (Street Crimes), Narcotics (DEA Task Force), and Training. Scott presently maintains a part-time law enforcement position and spends most of his time developing and instructing training courses, including POST legal aspects, use of force, search and seizure, and narcotics investigations. Scott also independently contracts for policy and procedure development, consults in civil litigation, and testifies as a subject matter expert all through the Courrege Consulting Group, LLC.
