To ensure absolute discretion, undercover investigations stat with the initial briefing where the investigator briefs management and coordinates the operation. Only the “need to know” should be clued in since the fewer who know about the investigation the better. To offer a detailed plan with the client and discuss the strategy, timeline, tactics and possible results, strategy and tactical planning follows suit with the investigator. The plan is launched. With periodic reports, analysis, and updates routinely given to the client, the undercover investigator does their job thoroughly. The professional details a final report to relate any and all findings and includes all of the steps taken and evidence collected at the conclusion of the undercover work. Recommendations of further actions, such as getting in touch with an attorney and law enforcement follows the conclusion of the report by the investigator.
