  • In many cases, we can find the bad employees in under 20 minutes.

    In our experience, management often does not realize the magnitude of the problems they have until a comprehensive, third-party review takes place.

    Sometimes, multiple employees collude to perpetrate fraud against the company, a situation that clearly requires swift and aggressive action.


    We out the rats and prevent recurrence.

    A written report of findings and conclusions.

    We provide our clients with the facts surrounding a given situation, arm them with options for dealing with offending employees, and provide advice on how to improve business operations to prevent recurrence.


    We can help you with just about any internal issue you have.

    With over 40 years professional experience, our private investigators can assist your company no matter the situation:

    • Personal problems of employees such as substance abuse or gambling
    • Co-worker relationships
    • Racism or sexual harassment claims
    • Disruptive divorce proceedings
    • Moonlighting
    • Criminal charges
    • Personal use of corporate resources
    • Excessive sick time
    • Workers Comp or Insurance fraud

    Avoid business interruptions, negative publicity and embarrassment.

    Our involvement in the process can help you avoid business interruptions, negative publicity, personal embarrassment, and costly legal fees. Starting the process with fact-finding and documentation is usually more effective from both a cost and results perspective than using a team of lawyers. In our experience, many HR managers are not well-suited for potentially confrontational and/or embarrassing interactions with senior-level employees and practice avoidance instead of seeking resolution.

    Our consultants will assist you by interviewing the parties involved to fully understand the personalities and issues at hand and then work with your company to resolve these issues internally in a discreet and professional manner.

    A detailed case study.

    A Human Resources Director called us at the direction of the Chairman of the Board and informed us that the President was known to be having an affair with a subordinate. Notwithstanding the fact that the executive was married, company policy expressly prohibited such office relationships. The clients also determined that there was a significant risk of legal action by the female against the company and the executive if and when the relationship eventually became public.

    Although the affair was routinely known and discussed within the company, the Chairman had no hard evidence to support termination of the employees for violating company policy. We were engaged to operate a ten-day surveillance, which soon caught both subjects in compromising positions and places on videotape.

    After presenting our findings to the corporate board, we discussed strategic options to resolve the situation. Our goal? To minimize the risk of a lawsuit from either party. The board agreed that we should manage the termination process for both employees in a discreet and confidential manner using the video evidence as justification. This enabled the client's Human Resources department to maintain a level of separation from the process to minimize legal risk while effectively bringing the situation to a close.

Security Consulting Case Study

Newport Beach Corporate Fraud



A prominent Newport Beach attorney representing a large beer manufacturer contacted us. We met with the attorney and the company executives at their corporate headquarters.

The company had a problem: large amounts of inventory were simply missing. They had a certain amount of product on hand, but their internal accounting told them they should have more money.

Results:
Our private investigators provided employee surveillance, and later, in-depth interviews and interrogations of employees.

We quickly discovered a number of employees were smuggling product out of the factory. The results from this investigation were handed to the District Attorney. As a result of our investigation, 17 people were arrested, prosecuted and served jail time.
