Surveillance

Proper surveillance provides definitive, court-admissable proof of wrong-doing.

Surveillance is useful in situations of suspected worker compensation fraud, other insurance fraud investigations, when a spouse is suspected of cheating, and many other applications.

Insurance fraud surveillance

In most cases, insurance fraud will involve theft, vandalism, or a claimant who insists his injuries are worse than they really are. This can cost an employer millions of dollars a year. A professional surveillance team can provide third party information that not only will be useful in a court of law, but will save your company the element of surprise.

Infidelity surveillance

If you suspect you have a cheating spouse on you, our expert surveillance team is ready to assist you in finding out the truth. Our investigators will provide photographic and video proof of questionable activity or infidelity and assist you in taking appropriate next steps to resolve the issue. We will also provide you with valuable divorce advice and support to protect yourself and your interests in divorce or child custody proceedings against a cheating spouse or cheating mate.
