Things to know before hiring a private investigator...
Methods of Discreet Communication:
The first thing that most people need to consider before hiring a Private Detective/Investigator is to determine the means of communication between yourself and the Private Investigator. This is extremely relevant during Infidelity Investigations cases when a spouse is afraid to make or receive contact with the Investigator. So if you have a telephone that can be monitored by the person or entity you want investigated? Our 1st recommendation would be to get a pre-paid phone card or use a 'pay-as-you-go' mobile phone. Our 2nd recommendation is to create a new email account (Yahoo, Google, MSN etc.) for email communications and make sure that you delete your browsing History every time you visit a Private Investigation website. Clear the cache, cookies, history, passwords and form in the browsers (Internet Explorer, Mozilla-Firefox, Netscape etc.) that you use to surf the Internet. Our 3rd recommendation is to determine the best time & days of the week that the Private Investigator can contact you.
Keys to a Successful Investigation: Discreetness & Planning
Conducting an investigation on a person who is aware of such an investigation, allows the investigatee to hide, alter or destroy possible evidence that could be used against them. DO NOT TAKE UNNECESSARY RISK AND POSSIBLY COMPROMISE YOUR INVESTIGATION. The best results orientated investigation is done when the fewest people are aware of it. There are plenty of cases where clients hire a Private Investigator on more then one occasion. Time after time, clients contact us (Private Investigators) after they have informed & confronted the investigatee of their prior investigative attempts. When clients behave is this manner, it increases the risk of harm to our investigators (male & female alike) and or the overall cost to provide a results orientated investigation, which may not even be possible. This type of thinking comes from either immaturity and or a lack of planning. Use the evidence from an investigation in a mature & useful manner. Take the time to prepare yourself before the investigation and have a useful plan for the information we obtain during the investigation.
THINGS TO LOOK FOR WHEN EVALUATING A PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR
Private Investigations are an investment in your relationship, family, business and future in general. So as is suggested to every good investor, DO YOUR HOMEWORK. Determine the ROI (Return on Investment) and make sure you can live with it prior to making the investment. Like those savvy Investors who invest in Stocks/Mutual Funds, Real Estate and or Business Ventures. The wise Investor must determine:
- BACKGROUND/HISTORY-Look into a prospective companies (Private Investigation Agency), types of insurances, affiliations with Professional Industry related Associations, services, other types of professional licenses, how many partners & employees. (i.e. Determine if the Private Investigation Agency you are considering has the experience, resources, insurance coverage needed for your type of investigation.) Also consider that you may need investigation services in the future.
- EXPERIENCE-Some Private Investigators have little or no investigative experience. There are some who have retired from a law enforcement or military career and have now decided that being a Private Investigator would be a fun way to make a living. They enroll in a Private Detective school for two months or so, maybe take a PI licensing test and they become a P.I. This does not mean they are qualified to investigate your case. It is important that you know the qualifications, certifications, education and applicable experience of the Private Investigator that will be working on your case. The more experienced the Private Investigator, the greater the likelihood that your desired results will be achieved. It is our experience that clients need a private investigator who does this type of investigation or surveillance regularly. They do not need to be former MI5 agents. However, they should be experienced investigative experts in that specified area.
- POTENTIAL RISKS-Make sure that when you speak to prospective Private Investigations Agencies, that you understand all the risks involved. A Private Investigator should reveal all risks that could arise during an investigation. (i.e. Losing vehicles in traffic, not obtaining the information that you wanted, finding information that you were not prepared for, actual capabilities of equipments used, etc.) Watch out for the PI who is more concerned with getting your money, instead of discussing possible risks. It is important to have a Private Investigator that actually cares about what's in your best interest. An honest Private Investigator should inform you that there are NO GUARANTEES WITH INVESTIGATION & SURVEILLANCE OUTCOMES. However, we can and should guarantee our work quality, products and cost efficiency.
