Private Investigator Blog

At Sentry Investigations Ltd, we like to give our visitors an idea of what a private investigator Birmingham actually gets up to. Since the profession was created, a very mysterious/'cloak and dagger' reputation has been formed. Furthermore, some unsavoury characters within the industry have unfortunately tarnished the highly professional work we do each day, and we want to put an end to it.

We want to eliminate the common misconceptions surrounding private investigations by being open with clientele from the offset. We do this to allow them to form their own opinions, and see the huge benefits of the investigative services we provide. Don't get us wrong, there are certain aspects to the job that we do like to keep close knit, However, you can quite easily research everything we do simply via online searches on various forums. This blog was formed to give people insights into the private investigations industry, and to showcase the work we do.

A Day in the Life...

Yesterday started like most days with the alarm going off at 0430hrs and me springing out of bed to get ready for the hour or so journey ahead. Coffee flask filled up, kit is at the bottom of the stairs from where I dropped it last night, keys (check) wallet (check), phone (check) and I’m out the door... Back in the door, face mask (check). I get to the car and position my kit inside where it serves it’s purpose best. Reset mileage on the trip meter and off we go. The journey

Myth Busting

The private investigations industry comes packed with a whole host of myths that we are forever putting to rest for people who at no fault of their own, are none the wiser. We have put together a short list of surveillance based myths and questions we regularly come across to add some knowledge to brains... Q1 - Is surveillance like the films? A - It depends what film you are watching. If the film was based around my day today, it would be an 8 hour blockbuster of me hiding i

Localised Lockdowns

With Leicester coming up to its review to hopefully ease lockdown restrictions, Blackburn is potentially going to be replacing it. Every square inch of the UK is currently under the governments watchful eye with local flare ups being assessed via regional data being disseminated on a daily basis. When areas of the U.K go into lockdown, it can only mean they are no go areas for surveillance operatives. Firstly, our own health and well being is paramount and secondly, it highly

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

Brand Protection

Counterfeit goods make for big business on the black market, and known brands lose millions of pounds each year because of them. It is an everlasting battle against the trade of such illicit goods with both public and private sectors fighting for big brands. As private investigators we evidence the sale of counterfeit goods and follow the trail all the way back to the point of manufacturing in order to bring everyone involved to justice and getting the factories shut down.

Back to Normal?

With the shops re-opening and the government giving us back a few more freedoms, millions flocked to the shops yesterday but only to find some very long wait times just to get in the door! What does this mean for Sentry Investigations? Most importantly it means people have reason to be leaving their houses finally, so we can start catching the fraudsters, cheaters, moonlighters, crooks, etc etc etc!
