Surveillance & Activity Checks

Sometimes the truth comes down to watching patiently and knowing exactly what to look for. We conduct discreet, professional surveillance using unmarked vehicles, covert positioning, and time- and date-stamped photographs and high-definition video, producing an objective, chronological record of what actually happens. Every observation is logged and preserved so it can be relied upon later — including in court.

  • Insurance & workers’-compensation fraud
  • Child-custody & welfare verification
  • Workplace misconduct & policy violations

Background & Pre-Employment Investigations

A background investigation is only useful if it is thorough, current, and lawful. We compile a clear, well-documented picture of an individual or business from public records, proprietary databases, and direct verification — and we conduct employment-related screening in compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), EEOC guidance, and applicable state and local “fair chance” laws, including the required disclosures, written authorization, and adverse-action process. We provide industry-standard pre-employment background checks for employers of every kind, with particular experience serving healthcare, education, and corporate clients — the highly regulated fields where thorough, compliant vetting of every new hire is not optional. The result is information you can act on, gathered the right way.

  • County, state & federal criminal records
  • Nationwide criminal & sex-offender registry searches
  • Identity & Social Security number trace
  • Employment history & income verification
  • Education & professional-license verification
  • Motor vehicle & driving records (MVR)
  • Civil litigation, liens & judgments
  • Bankruptcies & business affiliations
  • OFAC, sanctions & global watchlist screening
  • Credit history for permissible-purpose roles

People slip out of our lives for all kinds of reasons, and some of them do not want to be found. Combining proprietary databases, public records, and real field work, we locate the person you need to reach and confirm the information before we hand it to you — because a stale or wrong address helps no one.

  • Witnesses, defendants & judgment debtors
  • Missing heirs & beneficiaries
  • Birth parents & long-lost relatives
  • Former tenants, employees & associates
  • Current address & contact verification
  • Employment & asset location for recovery
  • Confirmation & re-verification of results

Investigations conducted the right way

Information is only truly valuable when it is gathered legally and ethically. Our work is built around the state and federal frameworks that govern investigations and background screening — protecting our clients and respecting the rights of everyone involved.

Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA)

Employment and tenant screening is performed with the required stand-alone disclosure, written authorization, and permissible purpose — and, when a report factors into an adverse decision, the pre-adverse and adverse-action process the FCRA requires.

EEOC & Fair-Chance Laws

Criminal-history screening follows EEOC guidance and applicable “ban-the-box” and fair-chance laws — including individualized assessment of the offense, its recency, and its relationship to the role.

DPPA, GLBA & Permissible Purpose

Driving records, financial data, and other regulated information are obtained only for a lawful, permissible purpose under the Driver’s Privacy Protection Act, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, and related statutes.

State & Local Law

Requirements vary by jurisdiction — reporting look-back limits, consent rules, and licensing among them. Each engagement is scoped to the laws of the states where the work is performed.

This overview is provided for general information and is not legal advice. Employers and attorneys should confirm current requirements for their jurisdiction and industry.
