Kyle P. Corrigan, M.S., CIFI ’08 is the recipient of the 2026 Alumni Achievement Award. He is the founder and Chief Investigator of Bright Line Investigations LLC where he leads investigations involving criminal defense, civil litigation, insurance fraud, surveillance, witness and evidence development, public records, digital evidence, and intelligence gathering throughout the Midwest.

Kyle graduated from the University of Wisconsin–Parkside in 2008 with a double major in Criminal Justice and Psychology. He later earned a Master of Science in Criminal Justice from the University of Wisconsin–Platteville in 2022.

The name Bright Line Investigations traces directly back to Kyle’s time at UW–Parkside. While sitting in a Molinaro lecture hall during a criminal procedure class, the discussion turned to the legal concept of the bright-line rule—a clearly defined legal standard that provides objective criteria for decision-making, reduces ambiguity, and promotes predictable outcomes. The concept stayed with him and eventually inspired both the company’s name and its guiding philosophy: bringing clarity to uncertainty, separating fact from assumption, and helping clients understand what the evidence can actually establish.

Brad, Kyle, Craig, and Nick Becker, a family of wrestlers and UW–Parkside alums, grew up in a tight-knit family and were raised to value self-discipline and a strong work ethic. Their decision to choose Parkside as students, and stay as alums comes back to the culture of respect created by Coach Jim Koch and their strong connection to the Parkside community.

Step out of the classroom and into the field! šŸ”

Through summer coursework, UW– Parkside students gained hands-on experience in real-world forensic techniques led by Dr. Keith Biddle. Students got a chance to conduct fieldwork, from crime scene evidence collection and excavation to advanced laboratory analysis. Immersive experiences like these prepare criminal justice, anthropology, and STEM majors for real-world careers in law enforcement and forensic science.
