Services
Infidelity Investigations
Our discreet infidelity investigations utilise advanced surveillance techniques to provide conclusive evidence of marital misconduct. With over 45 years' experience, we employ GPS tracking and covert monitoring while maintaining strict confidentiality. Our investigators document suspicious activities through photographic and video evidence, ensuring admissible documentation for legal proceedings when required. We prioritise client emotional well-being throughout the process.
Corporate Fraud Detection
Specialised corporate fraud investigations target financial misconduct, employee dishonesty, and commercial deception. Our ex-police investigators employ forensic accounting and surveillance to uncover embezzlement, procurement fraud, and insurance misrepresentation. We provide comprehensive reports suitable for disciplinary actions or court proceedings, helping businesses recover losses and implement preventive measures.
Technical Surveillance Countermeasures
Our TSCM services detect hidden listening devices, GPS trackers, and covert cameras using military-grade equipment. We conduct thorough sweeps of vehicles, offices, and residences to identify 5G-enabled surveillance devices and traditional bugs. The service includes technical analysis of communication systems and security recommendations to prevent future breaches.
Missing Persons Tracing
We specialise in locating missing individuals for family reunification, legal matters, or debt recovery. Utilising exclusive databases and physical surveillance, our investigators trace subjects across the UK. We handle sensitive cases with discretion, offering post-location support and legal guidance when approaching traced individuals.
Workplace Absence Surveillance
This service investigates suspected misuse of sick leave through covert observation and activity documentation. Our investigators track employees' movements to verify genuine medical conditions, providing employers with evidential reports for HR proceedings. We maintain legal compliance while protecting businesses from fraudulent absence claims.
