Provide us a physical description and/or photo of the subject; addresses; vehicle information; time and place to start, plus the reason for the surveillance. Our investigators will obtain courtroom quality video evidence of all pertinent activities and back it up with our experience and credibility.

We are professional and experienced fact finders. When there is a question you need answered, we will help. Years of solving cases and finding the facts and the truth is the main reason why. We also provide Honest and "Top Notch" customer service.

24-hr notice is usually plenty of time. It's often possible to start a case immediately. Weekends are the busiest times and may require additional advance notice. We first need to gather all the facts, authorization forms, and retainer before we can start the investigation.

Surveillance is billed on an hourly basis plus a mileage charge. Before the case is started, a strategy is established depending on the circumstances and your needs. Once this plan is in place a budget can be established. Investigation services are payable in advance of the work being conducted in the form of a retainer. Payment can be made by credit card (signed form will be needed), by cash, check, money order, and wire transfers. For our current surveillance rates, please give us a quick call to discuss your situation.

The number of investigators needed depends on a number of factors. Basic surveillance on an individual being followed from home or an uncomplicated work situation can be conducted by one investigator. More complicated scenarios, such as following someone from a high rise office building, or airport or hotel may require an additional investigator. Other factors in which we may recommend a second investigator include fast and aggressive drivers, heavy traffic situations, and extra alert drivers who always watch the rear view mirror. Of course an additional investigator increases the cost of surveillance, and this factor is also taken into consideration in arriving at your budget. For a proper frame of reference, consider the fact that no law enforcement agency would ever conduct surveillance with less than two cars and few do that. The more investigators, the less likely the chance of detection.

Yes, any information submitted to us verbally or via on-line is kept secret and confidential. Under Florida Law, only the client (you) and the investigative agency can have access to or knowledge of the case details.

Planning is often more important than execution. The better job we do of designing the surveillance, the more likely it is to be productive and the more cost effective it will be. Because you know more about your spouses behavior than we ever will, we rely on you to assist us in develop the correct time and place to watch them. We need you to determine when they are most likely to be engaged in this behavior and where we should start the surveillance. If you are not able to discern when with any degree or accuracy, we recommend that you consider when they are not available and we can eliminate those times as a starting point. All these questions and more go into creating an effective surveillance strategy.

If there is no evidence the subject is cheating, you will have gained peace of mind about your relationship. Since our investigations are 100% confidential, you will not have risked sacrificing the relationship if you are wrong.

It is legal to conduct surveillance upon a person for legitimate purposes by a licensed investigator. You must hire a licensed investigator to carry out assignments. If you are not licensed, it could be considered stalking. It is however, illegal in the state of Florida to record audio without all persons being recorded giving their consent.

Our surveillance investigations are 100% confidential. We do everything necessary to insure the covert nature of the investigation. If we ever perceive that the security of the investigation is threatened, we back off and re-evaluate with your input. One important point: Never threaten to hire an investigator! This will make the suspected cheater even more difficult to watch. If you have done this, be sure to tell us ahead of time so we can prepare.

The techniques of tailing someone are an acquired skill. When following someone we are constantly weighing two factors against each other. First we want to stay close enough to make sure we do not loose the subject at a traffic light or in heavy traffic. However we are constantly balancing this against staying so close that we run the risk of being observed by the subject. The art of balancing these two factors in a variety of situations can executed well only by having an experienced investigator working the case. In some cases a second investigator is preferable and may be required which allows us to keep safer distances and minimizing the chance of loosing the subject or getting noticed.

Once the surveillance plan is in place it is important that you do not do anything to alert the subject of the investigation. Do not change your habits and do not ask too many questions about their activities.

The evidence collected in domestic surveillance can consists of the video or photos of the activities and a surveillance report which details all the activities in writing. Both are submitted to you, or if you wish we can maintain them for you. Your video can be delivered via VHS tape, CD-ROM, or DVD. There is a nominal fee for Video. Digital photos submitted via e-mail will be free of charge.
