Unlike our television counterparts, real private investigators rarely have any contact with the subject in question. In fact 99% of the time investigators are rarely ever seen by the subject. In the province of BC and throughout Canada investigators are not permitted to carry weapons or handcuffs. Private investigators are a great resource to use when requiring pertinent information for a civil or criminal case. Investigators will work directly with your lawyers making sure the information for your case is helpful not harmful. Many Investigation firms offer an array of services from surveillance, background checks, computer and insurance fraud detection and much more. The private sector retain the use of investigation firms to track their children to and from school to monitor their daily activities as well as spousal monitoring for infidelity. The corporate sector hires investigators to conduct back ground checks on potential new hires or current staff, corporate espionage and office or board room de-bugging.
Due to the fact that the world is dealing with the financial crunch currently, people are making false or exaggerated claims to collect insurance monies to offset their financial hurt. Investigators are hired by insurance companies to conduct daily surveillance and monitor daily activities to protect tax payers money to prove or disprove a claim. Well trained investigators are rarely spotted on these assignments but have the uncanny ability of acquiring video or still photographs for the client to decide if the subject is defrauding the insurance company or is legitimate in his claim. Some companies like ours offer specialty investigations such as CCTV system installations and monitoring, scuba diving / cadaver recoveries and weapons recovery, as well as risk assessment of businesses and properties.
Over the next several years, we will share with you specifically the different types of investigations in depth for you our public to read and learn about. If you have comments to make please visit our company forums, blogs and group sites for more information.
