Finding Missing People

Sentry Investigations are suddenly seeing a big increase in demand for trace search enquires to locate missing people. Generally our clients are trying to get in touch with long lost family members and are hoping to reconnect with them after so many years. Getting in touch with old friends or family has never been so easy as it is today, which is all thanks to the many social media platforms available at our finger tips. However, with privacy concerns now going through the ro

#CheatingPartner

We have recently got off the ground after having investigated a fairly sensitive infidelity case which brought to light some serious findings. The data subject in question decided to just up and leave our client one day, leaving her high and dry with lots of unanswered questions spinning around in her head. Although the client and the data subject were still in minimal contact, lies, deception and vagueness were a part of every conversation they had leaving the client feeling

Corporate Investigations

Making use of a corporate or private investigator may come across as quite a daunting or even dodgy prospect. The truth is, many business owners are unaware of the laws and regulations surrounding employee-based investigations and as such, they are rarely considered when a business is going through serious internal problems. That being said, actually finding a legally compliant investigator can have its own problems, which is why it is always advised to approach a professiona

Proving Innocence

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

Static Camera

The newest tool added to our arsenal is the Reolink Go. We had our doubts prior to investing into this kit as we expected choppy/grainy video footage, slow notifications when reacting to the motion sensors and poor app software. Oh how we were wrong! The Reolink Go is a stand-alone or static camera system which runs off an internal rechargeable battery or removable solar power (we are yet to trial the solar power). It is a cellular device so it requires a data SIM card meanin

A Long Way From Home

A Long Way From Home A very early rise this morning indeed! A long old journey covering roughly 150 miles to ensure we got to the property before the subject (suspected of insurance fraud) gets out of bed. It appears we have achieved that, but only time will tell if our efforts are fruitful. We have an observation post (OP) set up today with the camcorder set to Pre-Record whilst mounted on a tripod to ensure we get the perfect shot of the subject departing from the the house

When Things Go Right

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

Suspicions of Infidelity

Infidelity can wreak havoc in a relationship and by right you should know if you are falling victim of it. You may have always had suspicions of you partner being unfaithful but he or she may be very good at hiding the truth. Here we have put together a list of behaviours to look out for if you suspect any wrong doing. These behaviours may not be the concrete evidence you need to prove such acts, which is why using a private investigator may be the next consideration in fin

Due Diligence

A quick blog to remind perspective clients on the importance of conducting due diligence when instructing a private investigator. In this unregulated industry there are more unchecked operators out there than those who associate with any professional bodies. These cowboys regularly break the law to achieve clients results. One mistake from these guys could leave you (the client) high and dry by being dragged through the legal system very quickly indeed. Carrying out due dilig

Face Masks

It is becoming more likely that the UK population will be required to mask up in more public places such as shops and supermarkets. It does beg the question as to why it has taken so long for the government to adopt this position considering the rest of the world is already doing so. As for investigators in the private sector, this can be a double edged sword. On one hand, it can become even tricker when trying to identify a subject, so we can only hope they remove their fac
