useful not usefulAre there situations where it is beneficial or necessary to use more than one surveillance investigator?
Absolutely! Long-term surveillance operations, those that are conducted upon a subject who is likely to suspect that he is being investigated, and those that involve following a subject from an airport or other large congested location where many different transportation alternatives exist, or in heavy traffic situations. All may make multiple investigator surveillance operations an absolute necessity.

useful not usefulAre electronic tracking devices useful in conjunction with surveillance investigations?
These devices are useful for some investigative efforts, and completely useless for others. While these devices are particularly useful in allowing the investigator to remain at a greater distance from a subject's vehicle while mobile, they also limit the investigator's ability to maintain contact with the subject once he parks and exits the vehicle. Additionally, there are specific laws that must be followed when using GPS Tracking devices.

useful not usefulHow long does surveillance need to be conducted?
The duration of any surveillance investigation varies greatly from one case to another. While a simple investigation may be completed in only a few hours, others require days, weeks, or even months of surveillance in order to accomplish the stated goals. There is however a 4 hour minimum per day for surveillance.

useful not usefulIn addition to maintaining physical surveillance upon a subject, what else must be done in connection with this type of investigation?
The answer to this question varies, depending upon the specific nature of the investigation. Some pre-surveillance investigative activities include a check of driver's license records of the subject, vehicle registration records to identify the subject's vehicles, investigative activities to locate or verify the location of the subject's residence and/or business, short-term activity checks in the area of the subject's residence and/or business, as well as many other possible investigative activities.

useful not usefulWhat if the surveillance needs to be conducted in multiple states?
Through our nationwide network of affiliated private investigation agencies, we are able to provide investigative services in nearly every area of the United States, as well as many international locations.

useful not usefulWhat type of experience does an investigator need to conduct effective surveillance?
Our investigators are required to have extensive training and experience in covert surveillance techniques, as well as many other investigative specialties.

useful not usefulWhat type of equipment is utilized in connection with surveillance investigations?
The type of equipment utilized depends upon the requirements of the particular investigation being conducted. Along with appropriate surveillance vehicles, the most commonly used equipment includes high resolution digital video cameras, digital still cameras, night vision equipment, electronic tracking devices, covert body-worn video systems, cellular telephones, two-way radios, and high power binoculars.

useful not usefulHow much does a surveillance investigation cost?
Again, there is no way to provide an accurate estimate of the cost without discussing the specifics of that particular case. We charge an hourly rate for all surveillance investigation activity, as well as possibly charging for other related expenses on some cases. Our rates are outlined in detail within the contract presented prior to the start of any surveillance investigation.

useful not usefulCan you guarantee the results of a surveillance operation?
Absolutely not. While we endeavor to provide the best possible service, and always do everything reasonably possible to ensure the success of an investigation, because of conditions beyond our control there is no way to foresee the outcome of any investigation.

useful not usefulCan you guarantee that you won't lose a person while conducting surveillance?
Again, while we always conduct an investigation in the most professional manner possible, it is impossible to provide any guarantee. Anyone who tells you, "We have never lost a person while conducting surveillance" is a liar. The simple truth is, people are unpredictable, traffic is unpredictable, and surveillance is unpredictable. An experienced professional investigator minimizes the risk of a subject being 'lost', but nobody can guarantee that will never occur.

useful not usefulWhat if the subject of the investigation drives in a reckless manner or seriously violates traffic speed laws?
Rather than risking the investigator being observed by the subject of the investigation, or worse, becoming involved in a traffic collision, our investigator will discontinue surveillance once it is determined that continuing would endanger himself, the subject, or the public. No investigation is worth someone getting injured or killed.
