While the classic image of a private investigator is a whisky drinking, chain smoking, guy in a shabby suit, this couldn't be further from the truth. Modern private investigators are professionals who can offer you a wide range of services to meet your needs. Below is a guide to two services which a private investigator can provide.
Keeping Someone Under Surveillance
If you suspect that your partner is having an affair or that they are breaking the terms of a custody agreement which was agreed as part of an ongoing divorce, you may wish to gather evidence of this. Private investigators are trained in the art of covert surveillance. Before any surveillance operation begins, the investigator will conduct an interview in which they will establish the targets pattern of behaviour, their routines and any days and times which are especially relevant. This information will allow the investigating team to make the best use of their resources and will increase the chance that they will produce high-quality evidence. Private investigators will take photographs and video of the target as well as generating detailed reports about their movements. However, by law, a private investigator can only photograph and watch a target when they are in a public place, as observing the target in their own home is a breach of privacy.
Tracing People
If someone has vanished without settling a debt or if a loved one has gone missing, you may wish to hire a private investigator. The people who work as private investigators will be able to carry out detailed research into the whereabouts of a person. This may include interviewing friends, family and associates of the missing person. They will also check public records to see if the person has been arrested, registered to vote, married or been hospitalised since they vanished. The investigator will also carry out a detailed search of social media to see if it holds any clues about the current location of a person. Using this information, the investigator will try to establish the movements of the person, any changes in appearance and any pseudonyms they may be using. A report will then be produced detailing the likely whereabouts of the person, along with any other pertinent information. You can then use this information to contact the missing person.
