Who do you trust City of Arcata's or Brett Watson's investigator?

I looked up both the City of Arcata and Arcata Councilmember Brett Watson's investigators to see of they had a license. The rest of the local media regurgitated press releases and information without even bothering to do a simple Google search.

This is what Brett Watson claims in a statement on his website:

"In my determination to provide the truth to the public, I hired an experienced and licensed Northern California investigator, Baker Street Investigations (BSI), at my own expense, to conduct a new independent and unbiased investigation into why the City-funded Kramer Workplace Investigations (KWI) (owned by Karen Kramer) was so poorly done, and what really happened."

"-According to the California Bureau of Security and Investigative Services, Karen Kramer is not a licensed investigator."

This is what comes up in the California Bureau of Security and Investigative Services for John Garretson of Baker Street Investigations, the investigator Watson hired.

There are 6 searches for BSI but the Santa Rosa location license is active.
