WHEN DO YOU NEED A PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR?

Have you ever thought about hiring a private investigator? Are you sure that hiring an investigator is the right choice? Chances are good that if you are already thinking about PIs, then something is askew in your life and you need a fix, and that means that private investigators might be a good option. Of course, it helps to know what the investigators can do and what situations they can help with to give you peace of mind. While you might be able to handle some issues that arise on your own, private investigators can help in a variety of situations.

When Can PI’s Help?

Private investigators can help you to do a number of different things, and they can provide a host of different services, so long as you choose a high quality company. Let’s consider some of the services the PI can offer.

One of the most common requests of clients is surveillance. They need to know if their husband or wife is having an affair, or if one of their employees is committing insurance fraud. The information discovered through surveillance can help in the event that the case needs to go to court.

Other times, clients may need to locate someone. Perhaps they are looking for a lost friend or relative that they haven’t seen in years. They might be looking for birth parents, children they put up for adoption years ago, former lovers, old military friends, and more. Finding these people on your own can be difficult, but with the help of a great team of professionals, locating nearly anyone is a simple and relatively quick task.

Some clients also want to have background searches on people they are considering for childcare or elder care. They may also want to conduct a search of someone they are dating or that they met online. Of course, companies will want to use background checks to help prescreen employees. They do not want to hire someone who is lying about who they are, what they can do, and how much experience they have. They also may not want to hire known criminals, particularly if they work with money.

Investigators can help with providing surveillance for companies as well. Companies want to know if employees on worker’s compensation really do have an injury or if they are merely faking the injury to milk money out of the system.

Certain companies, such as ours, even offer security consultations. We can help companies learn how to become more secure and safe. Every business is different and we don’t provide cookie cutter solutions. We look at each company individually and help them find what is best for their needs.

Another area where we do quite a bit of work is in countering electronic surveillance devices. Another term for this is sweeping for bugs. We look for electronic monitoring devices that might be in your home or your place of business. Once we detect them, we can go to work figuring out who put the bug there in the first place. Often, it is someone you know – a friend, spouse, or employee. Of course, sometimes, strangers actually plant the device. We will help you get to the bottom of the situation.
