California & Utah, USA — West Shield Adolescent Services proudly commemorates over 60 years of combined experience as a trusted leader in adolescent transport to therapeutic and residential programs. With a reputation grounded in safety, professionalism, and compassion, West Shield continues to support families during one of the most critical and challenging times in a young person’s life.

Founded by Allen Cardoza–a licensed private investigator and certified Non-Violent Crisis Intervention instructor–West Shield has helped hundreds of families safely transition their children to treatment programs. The company also led the effort to implement TRUST-LINE background checks for transport agents, reinforcing its commitment to integrity, safety, and accountability.

“This work is more than transportation–it’s about building trust, reducing trauma, and helping families find a path forward,” said Allen Cardoza, Founder of West Shield. “Our focus has always been on ensuring that every teen is treated with dignity and care throughout the journey.”

West Shield’s experienced team often collaborates with law enforcement, behavioral health professionals, and families to locate runaways or guide at-risk youth into structured, supportive environments. By combining traditional investigative skills with modern tools–such as digital tracking and behavioral analysis–West Shield ensures each transport is handled with precision and care.

The company’s trauma-informed approach to transport emphasizes:

• Building rapport and reducing anxiety before and during travel

• Transparent, age-appropriate communication

• Discreet and professional execution

• Seamless handoffs to residential treatment programs or therapeutic schools

West Shield Adolescent Services does not advise families on the selection of residential treatment centers or therapeutic programs. Its sole role is to provide safe, professional transport services.

Through long-standing relationships with respected organizations such as the National Association of Therapeutic Schools and Programs (NATSAP) and the IECA, West Shield continues to uphold industry-leading best practices while focusing on the human side of transport.

“We specialize in making a difficult process more manageable for families,” added Cardoza. “Every child deserves to be treated with compassion, and every parent deserves peace of mind.”
