As you go about your life, it can be hard to imagine when you might want to track someone’s movements. It’s not something that many people would consider investing their time or money in. Sometimes, however, professional surveillance can have very significant benefits.
Tracking someone on your own can be clumsy, risky and illegal, but using a professional private investigator can provide answers to your questions when those answers really matter.
Here are a few potential uses for a private detective:
Matrimonial Surveillance
Few things can feel worse than a belief that your partner isn’t being faithful. Of course, before confronting your partner and risking your relationship it can help to have evidence to work with.
Written statements and photo/video evidence can be provided by a private investigator, giving you the information that you need to confront the situation from the best possible position.
Tracing a Missing Person
If a friend or relative has gone missing, private investigators can help you to find them. Surveillance can also be used to help to gather information about how someone is living, if you’re concerned about their welfare.
Locating a missing person is only part of the story. Once they’ve been found, a lot more information can be discovered about the situation through professional surveillance by a private detective.
Investigating a Moonlighting Employee
If you’re an employer with a concern that your employee is moonlighting then hiring a private investigator can help you to confirm or allay your fears. A private investigator can track your employee, gathering information that you can use in a corporate environment as evidence.
Checking for Fraudulent Sick Leave
Unfortunately, some employees will claim to be sick when they’re actually healthy. Occasionally it’s easy to catch someone out, but sometimes employers have concerns that they’re not able to evidence.
An employee on fraudulent sick leave can affect your business dramatically. It can impact your company’s finances and can also lead to struggles to keep up with workload, putting pressure on your other employees. A private investigator can use surveillance to gather evidence of fraudulent sick leave or, alternatively, to find out that an employee is genuinely sick or injured.
Always bear in mind that the world of surveillance is a minefield. Industry regulations are in place to ensure that public bodies and private investigators will always consider the necessity of surveillance before they commence, obtaining a warrant if required.
