Every case is unique. Every case demands rigor. We combine traditional field work with
modern investigative tools to deliver evidence that holds up.
Surveillance
Undetected surveillance is the discreet observation or monitoring of a person, place, or activity without the subject's awareness. It is intended to gather information while minimizing the chance of influencing the subject's behavior. Depending on the context, it may be conducted by law enforcement, intelligence agencies, private investigators, researchers (with appropriate ethical approval), or security personnel. Methods and legal authorities vary widely by jurisdiction, and many forms of surveillance are subject to strict legal oversight and privacy protections.
- The subject is generally unaware that observation is taking place.
- The goal is to collect information without altering normal behavior.
- It may involve observing people, locations, communications, or events, depending on the legal and operational context..
Infidelity Investigations
- Accuracy: Information is recorded as precisely as possible, with careful attention to facts rather than assumptions.
- Reliability: Evidence is obtained from trustworthy sources and, where possible, corroborated by independent evidence.
- Completeness: Relevant information is collected without selectively omitting details that could change the interpretation.
- Objectivity: Investigators remain impartial, consider multiple hypotheses, and actively guard against confirmation bias.
- Documentation: Findings, methods, timelines, and decisions are documented clearly so others can review and reproduce the investigative process.
- Evidence integrity: Physical and digital evidence is preserved and handled according to established procedures to maintain authenticity and traceability.
- Legal and ethical compliance: The investigation follows applicable laws, regulations, and ethical standards, including respecting privacy and due process where required.
- Transparency: Conclusions are supported by documented evidence, and any limitations or uncertainties are clearly identified.
The goal of such an investigation is to produce findings that are well-supported, reproducible where applicable, and able to withstand independent scrutiny. Whether the investigation is scientific, forensic, regulatory, or organizational, maximizing fidelity means prioritizing the quality and integrity of the evidence over speed or preconceived conclusions.
Background Checks
A thorough background check may include:
- Identity verification: Confirming a person’s name, date of birth, and other identifying information.
- Employment history: Verifying past employers, job titles, dates of employment, and, in some cases, responsibilities or eligibility for rehire.
- Education and credentials: Confirming degrees, certifications, licenses, and professional qualifications.
- Criminal record checks: Reviewing criminal history where legally permitted and relevant to the role or purpose.
- Reference checks: Speaking with professional or personal references about the individual’s experience, skills, or character.
- Professional licensing: Verifying that required licenses or certifications are current and in good standing.
- Driving record: Reviewing motor vehicle records when driving is relevant to the position.
- Financial history: Reviewing credit history where permitted by law and relevant to the responsibilities of the role.
- Public records: Examining publicly available court records or other government records, as appropriate.
- Online presence: Reviewing publicly available professional profiles or social media, while taking care to avoid improper consideration of protected characteristics or unreliable information.
A high-quality background check emphasizes:
- Accuracy and verification from authoritative sources.
- Compliance with applicable privacy, employment, and anti-discrimination laws.
- Relevance to the purpose of the check.
- Confidential handling of personal information.
- An opportunity for the individual to address or correct inaccurate information when appropriate.
Corporate Investigations
A complete corporate investigation is a structured, evidence-based process used to examine allegations, risks, or potential misconduct within an organization. Its purpose is to establish the facts, assess compliance with laws and company policies, and support informed decision-making. The scope and methods depend on the nature of the issue and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
A comprehensive corporate investigation often includes:
- Defining the scope: Clearly identifying the allegations, objectives, relevant time period, business units, and key questions to be answered.
- Planning the investigation: Developing an investigation plan, identifying required resources, assigning roles, and considering legal or regulatory obligations.
- Preserving evidence: Securing relevant physical and electronic records to help maintain their integrity throughout the investigation.
- Document review: Examining company records such as contracts, emails, financial documents, policies, audit reports, and other business records relevant to the matter.
- Interviews: Speaking with complainants, witnesses, and other individuals who may have relevant information, while documenting interviews accurately.
- Data analysis: Reviewing financial transactions, operational records, or other business data to identify patterns, inconsistencies, or areas requiring further review.
- Policy and compliance assessment: Determining whether company policies, contractual obligations, or legal requirements were followed.
- Risk evaluation: Assessing the operational, financial, legal, reputational, and compliance risks associated with the findings.
- Legal coordination: Working with legal counsel when appropriate to ensure the investigation complies with applicable laws and protects legal rights and obligations.
- Findings and conclusions: Evaluating all available evidence objectively and distinguishing verified facts from assumptions or unresolved issues.
- Reporting: Preparing a report that documents the investigation’s scope, methodology, evidence reviewed, factual findings, conclusions, limitations, and, where appropriate, recommendations.
- Corrective actions: Implementing appropriate measures, such as policy updates, process improvements, additional training, disciplinary action (where warranted), or referrals to regulators or law enforcement if required.
- Follow-up: Monitoring the effectiveness of corrective actions and addressing any remaining risks.
Throughout the process, organizations generally strive to uphold several core principles:
- Objectivity: Following the evidence rather than preconceived conclusions.
- Confidentiality: Limiting disclosure of sensitive information to those with a legitimate need to know.
- Fairness: Giving relevant individuals an opportunity to provide information and respond to allegations, consistent with applicable laws and policies.
- Documentation: Maintaining clear records of investigative activities, evidence, and decisions.
- Legal and ethical compliance: Conducting the investigation in accordance with applicable laws, regulations, contractual obligations, and organizational policies.
A well-conducted corporate investigation aims to produce findings that are accurate, well-supported by evidence, and suitable for internal decision-making or, where necessary, review by regulators, courts, or other independent parties.
Bug Sweep
A proper bug sweep, more formally called a Technical Surveillance Counter-Measures (TSCM) inspection, is a systematic examination of an environment to determine whether unauthorized surveillance devices or other forms of technical monitoring are present. These inspections are typically conducted by trained specialists to help protect privacy, confidentiality, and sensitive information.
A professional TSCM inspection generally includes:
- Assessment and planning: Understanding the location, the reasons for the inspection, and any known security concerns to determine the appropriate scope.
- Physical inspection: Carefully examining offices, meeting rooms, vehicles, or other areas for signs of tampering, unauthorized equipment, or unusual modifications.
- Electronic testing: Using specialized equipment to detect or identify unexpected electronic signals or devices that may warrant further examination.
- Communications assessment: Reviewing communications infrastructure and connected equipment for indications of unauthorized monitoring or security weaknesses.
- Environmental review: Looking for physical vulnerabilities that could affect the confidentiality of conversations or information.
- Documentation: Recording observations, methods used, and any findings in a structured report.
- Recommendations: Providing advice on improving physical, electronic, and procedural security based on the inspection results.
The goals of a TSCM inspection are to:
- Determine whether evidence of unauthorized technical surveillance is present.
- Identify security vulnerabilities that could expose sensitive information.
- Recommend measures to improve privacy and information security.
- Provide a documented assessment of the inspection.

Find And Locate People
The best method depends on why you're trying to locate someone and whether you have their permission or not. Such as reconnecting with a friend, locating a family member, finding a witness through proper legal channels, or confirming contact information
Common lawful methods include:
- Public records research: Reviewing records such as property ownership, court filings, business registrations, professional licenses, voter registration (where public), and other government records that are legally available.
- Database research: Using commercial databases that compile information from public records and other legally obtained sources to identify possible addresses, phone numbers, or associated individuals.
- Interviews: Contacting people who may have relevant information, such as former neighbors, coworkers, employers, or relatives, while respecting legal and ethical boundaries.
- Online research (OSINT): Examining information that individuals or organizations have made publicly available, such as websites, public social media profiles, news articles, and business directories.
- Address verification: Confirming whether an address is current through lawful means, such as public records or direct observation where permitted.
- Professional records: Checking publicly available licensing boards, corporate filings, or professional association directories when relevant.
- Business and property records: Looking for connections through company ownership, real estate transactions, or publicly filed documents.
- Court records: Reviewing civil, probate, bankruptcy, or other court records that may provide current contact information or relevant context.
Private investigators are generally expected to:
- Comply with privacy, data protection, and consumer protection laws.
- Avoid misrepresentation or unlawful access to information.
- Document their findings and verify information from multiple sources where possible.
- Respect legal restrictions on accessing protected records.
