About P.I Becky
Becky Altringer, co-founder of Ariel Investigations, Inc., is known as "Hollywood P.I. Becky" in the entertainment industry. Her breakthrough role came in the IFC documentary This Film Is Not Yet Rated, investigating the MPAA film rating system. She has since worked on other notable documentaries, including Outrage and The Invisible War. Becky, with her quirky and driven nature, dedicates herself to everything from pro-bono abuse cases to celebrity conspiracy cases, like those involving Randy Quaid, often driving across Southern and Northern California to bring justice to her clients.
Becky founded and served as president of Pet Detectives and Rescue Fund; a non-profit organization dedicated to strengthening the enforcement of animal cruelty laws. The foundation also worked to educate agencies on the links between animal cruelty and other forms of violent behavior.

​
Becky has provided security for high-profile figures such as Sharon and Kelly Osborne, Chaz Bono, Molly Ringwald, Queen Latifah, Randy Quaid, and Margaret Cho. She has been involved in security and executive protection at prestigious events like the Golden Globes, the Academy Awards, and more.
