Without trying to sound like Liam Neeson from the 2008 movie ‘Taken’, surveillance operatives require a specific set which really is built up over a number of years through intensive training and live operations. That being said, there is an element on luck involved sometimes which keeps operations going for the expected time frame. Just yesterday, we undertook a surveillance operation in the Greater London area for reasons of suspected infidelity in a relationship. We had th

A very recent private investigation took us out to the sticks of the country because of a male who sustained injuries following a car accident a few years ago. As a result of his injuries he was claiming big bucks for reasons of no longer being able to drive or work due to the alleged constant pain he suffers with all over his body. On day 2 of a 2 day job, before lunch we could say with confidence that the claimant was a fraud. Day 1 proved difficult with this claimant as we

We attended our 1st virtual networking event today with fellow members of the Greater Birmingham Chamber of Commerce. It’s positive to see businesses doing what they can to #keepbusinessmoving during these troubled times by continuing to network online, but it doesn’t (and never will) beat meeting people face to face. It is however the next best thing for now though so we have got to work with what we’ve got. We do look forward to networking with more businesses online in the

We do hope to make some new corporate contacts over the next few months but what we really hope to see is all

The services from a private investigator are usually called into play because someone is suspected of some sort of wrongdoing. Whether it be a form of criminality, infidelity, fraud etc etc. The client wouldn’t pay for these services unless he or she had a strong suspicion of such activities and as such, 9 times out of 10 we prove the suspicions to be correct. However, on the 1 time out of 10, we do actually prove a data subjects complete innocence, which from our point of vi

Since our last blog post “When Things Go Wrong”, I thought it would only be right to follow up with “When Things Go Right”. For the most part things do actually go right with a day’s surveillance usually running like clockwork from beginning to end. There will always be little issues to contend with on all operations such as sighting an OP which isn’t overlooked by neighbours, or obtaining vehicle details from a vehicle that is out of view etc. For seasoned operatives, issues
