Surveillance investigations in the movies do not accurately depict reality. Surveillance investigations are some of the most common services requested of a private investigator. However, most people don’t know how these investigations actually look like. Advanced Private Investigator & Security of Miami, FL is here to talk through the steps of surveillance investigations, and what you can expect when you hire a private investigator to carry out a surveillance investigation for you.
Surveillance Investigation Process
Following is what you can expect when you hire a private investigator for a surveillance investigation:
– Purpose of the Investigation: The first thing that a private investigator has to do when hired for a surveillance investigation is determine the purpose of the investigation. There are times when clients want to have a surveillance investigation carried out for illegal or unethical reasons. It is up to the private investigator to determine the legality of the investigation before the investigation can get started.
– Obtain Information: The next thing that is vital to any surveillance investigation is obtaining information needed to carry out the investigation itself. This means that the private investigator, during the initial consultation, will need to ask several questions in order to gather the information needed. This includes what might seem like small pieces of information including motor vehicle details, locations and addresses, place of work or business, appearance description including photos, etc.
– Surveillance Schedule: Determining a surveillance schedule can be tricky at times. There are some people that like to hand over all the information to a private investigator and have them work out their surveillance schedule on their own. Other clients are going to want to micromanage the situation which can be detrimental to the entire investigation. It is important that the client and the private investigator work hand in hand to create a surveillance schedule that works for everyone.
– Investigation: When you finally get to the investigating portion of the surveillance investigation, hopefully all of the small details have been figured out. The private investigators need to determine the proper mode and methods of the investigation for them to effectively do their job. Sometimes clients can get frustrated that the investigating doesn’t happen right away. However, all investigating that is done before the details are ironed out will all be for naught. While there are several different reasons why somebody might hire a private investigator for a surveillance investigation, these investigations are all approached using basically the same steps.
