Private investigators utilize various techniques and tools to conduct surveillance effectively. Here’s an overview of how they typically approach surveillance:
Planning and Preparation: Before initiating surveillance, private investigators carefully plan their approach. They gather all available information about the subject, including their routines, known locations, and activities. This information helps in determining the optimal timing, locations, and methods for conducting surveillance.
Covert Observation: Private investigators conduct surveillance discreetly, ensuring they remain unnoticed by the subject. They may use different methods such as observing from a parked vehicle, blending in with the surroundings, or utilizing specialized equipment like binoculars or cameras with telephoto lenses.
Maintaining Distance: It’s important for private investigators to maintain a safe distance while observing the subject. They aim to strike a balance between gathering the necessary information and avoiding detection. This can involve using various techniques to stay inconspicuous, such as using disguises or adapting to the environment.
Documentation and Recording: Throughout the surveillance, private investigators meticulously document their observations. They may take detailed notes, capture photographs or video footage, and record relevant timestamps. This documentation serves as crucial evidence and helps provide an accurate account of the subject’s activities.
Adapting to Situations: Surveillance often requires flexibility as the subject’s behaviours or routines may change. Private investigators need to be adaptable and quick-thinking, adjusting their strategies accordingly to maintain effective surveillance.
Technology and Equipment: Private Investigators may utilize specialized surveillance equipment to enhance their capabilities. This can include GPS trackers to monitor the subject’s movements (where authorized), covert audio or video recording devices, or advanced camera systems for long-range or low-light conditions.
Legal and Ethical Considerations: Private investigators must conduct surveillance within the boundaries of the law and adhere to ethical guidelines. They ensure that their surveillance activities do not infringe upon an individual’s privacy rights, and they do not engage in illegal or unethical practices during the investigation.
It’s important to note that the methods and techniques used by private investigators for surveillance may vary depending on the specific case, legal regulations, and ethical considerations. Ultimately, the goal of surveillance is to gather accurate and relevant information while maintaining the privacy and safety of all parties involved.
Skip Tracing / Locates & Research
Private Investigators employ skip tracing techniques to locate individuals who are intentionally hiding or have become suddenly difficult to find. Skip tracing is an investigative process that involves collecting and analyzes information to track down a person’s current whereabouts.
Here’s an overview of how Private Investigators use skip tracing as a valuable tool:
Information Gathering: The investigator begins by collecting as much information as possible about the person they are trying to locate. This may include basic details such as the person’s full name, date of birth, social insurance number, last known address, phone numbers, email addresses and any other relevant identifiers.
Database and Records Search: Private Investigators have access to various databases, public records and online resources that can provide information about an individual’s past and present locations. They utilize these resources to search for records such as property ownership, vehicle registrations, professional licenses, employment history, financial records and much more.
Contacting Known Associates: Investigators may reach out to friends, family members, colleagues or other individuals who have had recent contact with the person being located. They discreetly inquire about the individual’s current whereabouts without revealing the purpose of their investigation by way of various specialized pretexting techniques.
Surveillance and Field Work: If necessary, a Private Investigator may conduct surveillance or engage in fieldwork to locate the person. This can involve physically visiting locations in person that may be associated with the individual. They may also monitor social media accounts, check local public records and/or collaborating with other professionals to garner valuable information pertaining to the subject of our investigation.
Specialized Techniques: Private Investigators may employ specialized techniques to track down individuals. This could include analyzing utility or financial transactions where legally possible, conducting online searches, utilizing skip tracing software, employing professional networks or collaborating with law enforcement agencies when necessary.
Verification and Confirmation: Once potential leads are identified, the investigator verifies the information to ensure accuracy. They cross-reference data from multiple sources and employ techniques like phone calls, interviews or discreet inquiries to confirm the subject’s current location. It’s important to note that skip tracing must be conducted within legal boundaries, respecting privacy laws and regulations. Private Investigators are skilled at combining their knowledge and experience when needing to access resources to locate individuals effectively.
