5 Things to be Aware of Before Hiring a Private Detective for Surveillance

When it comes to conducting surveillance, hiring a private detective can be the key to obtaining the crucial evidence you need. However, it’s important to be aware of certain factors before engaging the services of a private investigation company. At National Private Investigators, we understand the risks involved in surveillance and are dedicated to providing you with informative, educational, and trustworthy services. In this article, we will discuss five crucial considerations to ensure your surveillance operation is planned and conducted effectively while maintaining the highest standards of professionalism, ethics, and legality.
What if the subject does not leave the house?
One common concern is the possibility of the subject not leaving their residence during the surveillance period. Meticulous planning is essential to minimize this risk. By leveraging our expertise and conducting thorough background searches, we can gather valuable information about the subject’s routines. This knowledge allows us to determine the most suitable time to commence surveillance. Additionally, we may deploy a vehicle tracker to establish a pattern of their activities. For subjects likely to be working, an early-morning start at their home or workplace ensures we have control from the outset.
What if you lose the subject?
While there is always a chance of temporarily losing sight of the subject during surveillance, it doesn’t have to spell disaster. At National Private Investigators, we employ a team of experienced operatives and leverage advanced technology such as vehicle tracking to significantly reduce the chances of losing the subject. Surprisingly, some of the most successful surveillance operations involve moments of loss and subsequent relocation. Our operatives are trained to swiftly regain visual contact or rely on their knowledge of the subject’s routines to locate them shortly after.
What if the subject detects you?
Maintaining the utmost discretion during surveillance is our priority. Being detected by the subject is a worst-case scenario, which we strive to prevent. At National Private Investigators, we take pride in conducting investigations without compromise. In fact, we offer a guarantee: if the subject detects our presence, we will refund 100% of your money without hesitation. This guarantee demonstrates our confidence in maintaining strict confidentiality and discretion, setting us apart from other companies in the market.
Is it legal?
It is crucial to ensure that all surveillance activities are conducted within legal boundaries. At National Private Investigators, we are committed to upholding the law and respecting individuals’ privacy rights. We follow regulations that permit surveillance in public spaces with a legitimate reason and without harassment. However, we strictly prohibit intrusive actions, such as using drones to invade someone’s privacy, aligning with our strong ethical standards.
I only need a couple of hours can you do that?
While we strive to accommodate our client’s needs, it’s essential to understand that effective surveillance requires a minimum half-day deployment. Our investigators may not reside near the location, and travel time and logistical factors must be considered. Therefore, even if you only require a few hours of surveillance, the minimum half-day payment will apply. This ensures that we can allocate the necessary resources and maintain the highest level of professionalism throughout the operation, guaranteeing your satisfaction.
When hiring a private detective for surveillance, it is essential to be well-informed and consider these five key factors. At National Private Investigators, we are dedicated to providing informative, educational, and trustworthy services that build trust with our clients. By addressing the challenges of subject availability, maintaining visual contact, ensuring discretion, adhering to legal boundaries, and accounting for minimum deployment time, we ensure that your surveillance needs are met with professionalism, efficiency, and unwavering commitment to legal and ethical standards.
