Adultery

If you suspect that your spouse is having an affair then surveillance should be conducted when he/she has time to meet with the other person.  Every case is different but surveillance times should focus on when you think he/she is available to meet the other person.  You have to watch and question everything he/she says to you.  Something as simple as working out at the gym can provide enough time for them to get together.  A business executive may say that he has to leave early on Friday to attend a seminar.  There may be an actual seminar that day but guess what, he’s leaving early to meet his girlfriend.  People that cheat on their spouse come up with one lie after another.  We can help guide you through the thought process of determining an appropriate time period.   All of the information that you provide us is strictly confidential.  Our goal is to conduct surveillance and remain undetected by the person being followed as well as the general public. 

Child Custody

In this type of situation we are usually trying to show that one of the parents of the child have a faulty decision making process.  This can be something as simple as not using a car seat or a more serious situation like drinking and driving, physical abuse or leaving the child with others while going out to the bar.  Our goal is to document any and all behavior that will help you in court.  The judge starts out the case viewing both parents equally.  Our evidence can help the judge make an informed decision that’s in the child’s best interest.

Cohabitation

There are times where we are asked to see if anyone is currently living with another person.  The reasons for this vary but our approach is the same.  Investigators establish a surveillance position on the residence so that anyone entering or exiting the residence can be video taped.  The investigator must hide out in the vehicle so that they cannot be seen by the subject or neighbors.  Once we determine that another adult has arrived at the residence we would obtain the vehicle make, model and tag number in order to get their identity.  A decision would be make as to the importance of documenting whether this person spends the night and appropriate action would be taken by investigators. 

Drug Use

Catching a person in the act of buying or using drugs is very difficult.  It’s just part of the users daily routine to keep anyone from seeing it take place.  There are times where we are successful in video taping what appears to be the exchange of drugs for money.  The subject drives downtown into a run down area.  The subject pulls to the curb while at the same time a person on the sidewalk reaches into the passenger window pulling their arm back out within a split second.  The subject drives away and returns home.  We all know what probably just happened but the investigator cannot testify that the subject purchased drugs.  We can show the video tape to the judge and let him/her decide how likely it is that drugs were purchased.  Obtaining this type of evidence usually takes multiple attempts unless you know where and when the drugs are being purchased in advance.

Alcohol Abuse

Most of the time when there is a drinking problem it is related to a Child Custody case.  The parent in question is placing the child in danger by drinking and driving.  The parent gets off of work at 3:30 p.m., goes to the local bar and has four drinks prior to picking up the child at 5:00 p.m.  Our investigators would be inside the bar counting the number of drinks and the rate of consumption.  A recent case had investigators document the father drinking three beers on a construction job site one hour prior to getting his 10 year old son.  They go from the house to a restaurant where he drinks three more beers in about forty-five minutes then drives his son home to the mother.  After the judge saw our evidence the father was only allowed supervised visitation. 

Workers Compensation Fraud

When someone gets injured on the job or an automobile accident there may come a time when the recovery is longer then expected.  That’s where our investigators can help.  We begin surveillance early in the morning at the claimant’s residence.  We gather as much video tape evidence of the claimant’s movement as possible so that it can be compared to their claim.  Sometimes we find that the claimant is leaving in the morning to work another job.
