How quickly can you start an investigation?
24-hr notice is usually plenty of time. It's often possible to start a case immediately.  Weekends are the busiest times and may require additional advance notice.  We first need to gather all the facts and authorization forms before we can begin the investigation.

How much does it cost to hire an investigator?
Investigations are billed on an hourly basis. Rates are dependant upon the type of investigation that will take place. Before the case is started, a strategy is established depending on the circumstances and your needs. Once this plan is in place a budget can be established. Investigation services are payable in advance of the work being conducted. Payment can be made by credit card (over the phone if you wish), or by cash, check or money order.

How many investigators are used on a domestic surveillance case?
The number of investigators used depends on a number of factors. Basic surveillance on an individual being followed from home or an uncomplicated work situation can be conducted by one investigator. More complicated scenarios, such as following someone from a high rise office building, or airport or hotel require an additional investigator. Other factors in which we may recommend a second investigator include, fast and aggressive drivers and extra alert drivers who always watch the rear view mirror. Of course an additional investigator increases the cost of surveillance, and this factor is also taken into consideration in arriving at your budget. For a proper frame of reference, consider the fact that no law enforcement agency would ever conduct surveillance with less than two cars and few do that. The more investigators - the less likely the chance of detection.

Will the suspected cheater find out that they are being watched?
Our surveillance investigations are 100% confidential. We do everything necessary to insure the covert nature of the investigation. If we ever perceive that the security of the investigation is threatened, we back off and re-evaluate with your input. One important point: Never threaten to hire an investigator. This will make the suspected cheater even more difficult to watch. If you have done this, be sure to tell us ahead of time so we can prepare.

What do I do once the surveillance is set up?
Once the surveillance plan is in place it is important that you do not do anything to alert the subject of the investigation. Do not change your habits and do not ask too many questions about their activities.

What evidence will I receive at the conclusion?
The evidence collected in domestic surveillance consists of the videotape of the activities and a surveillance report which details all the activity in writing. Both are submitted to you, or if you wish we can maintain them for you. Your video can be delivered via VHS tape or CD-ROM.
