The Importance of Preparation
Preparation is the essential solution to any success! Often, life likes to give you the test first, and the lesson later. Investigative cases, without the right preparation, have been tested time and time again, with the same repetitive lesson – a costly investigation with no results. The quality of the investigation is largely dependent on the preparation that takes place before the case begins. We are here to enhance the preparation of each investigation through a detailed checklist of absolute necessities that are attained prior to the initiation of fieldwork. These are the must-haves that lead you to the high-quality results you deserve.How Can a Groundwork Report Help You?
This preparatory report is fully packed with wall-to-wall information that will separate you from the uninformed and strategize your next moves. Whether you are looking for a 360° subject profile, preparing to order surveillance, or simply trying to figure out if surveillance is truly the best option, this report should be your first step in the investigative process. A Groundwork Report sets the stage for fieldwork services by delivering everything you need to know in a single low-cost report. By laying the groundwork for your case, you will never walk blindly into an investigation again!What sets us apart?
Neutral Case Assessment. A third-party case evaluation to decide if surveillance is the most optimal “next step” to take with your case. We do not conduct surveillance and are a non-competitive service; therefore, we have no monetary incentive to encourage that surveillance be assigned. This assessment takes several factors into account, including lifestyle patterns and the likelihood of the subject being seen at the recommended setup locations.
Optimal Days & Times of Surveillance. Extensive research of the subject determines the best days and times in which surveillance should be completed. This research may include upcoming events and lifestyle patterns, such as; daily schedules, work timetables, weekend pastimes, frequent hobbies, periodic appointments, etc. Pinpointing the precise times to schedule surveillance is highly critical to achieving results and making an effective use of your budget.
Street & Aerial Views of Recommended Setups. Assists the field investigator in becoming familiar with surveillance setups, to include exit routes from residential neighborhoods, in order to lessen the probability of losing visual contact with the subject during mobile surveillance. This is an easy solution for your field investigators, who may not have the time to truly research this information in account of busy schedules / high volume caseloads.
Extensive Internet/Social Media Research. Locates all publicly available information from social media accounts and Internet postings that pertain to the case objective. Our research extends beyond a simple keyword search, with methods that are fine-tuned and can locate what others only seek to discover in this information age.
Case Recommendations. Our research may uncover aspects of the investigation that should be addressed further by the client, the field investigator, or even an attorney. We evaluate this information and provide a recommendation as to what should be done next. This could include possible criminal elements that should be examined, record retrieval directives, social media/online monitoring proposals, neighborhood canvasses, activity checks, and much more.
We also look into…
Residential Confirmation. Determines the subject’s current residence, prior residential history, and any other potential property ownership.
Vehicle Determination. Identifies all current, previous, and associated vehicles of the subject.
Associated Telephone Numbers. Gathers all telephone numbers confirmed to belong to or be associated with the subject.
Identification Photographs. Assists your field investigator by obtaining the best identification photographs possible in order to prevent negative surveillance results.
Investigative Database Searches. Verifies the subject’s personal information, current residences, telephone numbers, criminal history, court/financial record identifiers, automotive ownership, relatives/associates, and much more.
Utilities Check. Confirms the subject’s residential information by validating current utilities on all associated and current addresses.
Court Records. Online court record research to acquire information related to criminal charges, civil matters, domestic filings, traffic infractions, etc.
Professional Licenses. Finds any professional license connected to the subject’s personal information.
Interests/Activities Determines the subject’s interests and leisure activities in order to forecast the subject’s prospective activities within the duration of surveillance.
Upcoming Events. Tracks down any and all upcoming events that the subject has either directly or indirectly signaled that they are likely to attend.
