Private Investigations is split roughly into two sphere's, being Factual Enquiries and Surveillance. Each of these split into more specialist sub-groups. These are not neat distinct groups, however, with quite a lot of investigations requiring skills drawn from across the range. To complete a file the Private Investigator may require surveillance, on ground enquiries, affidavit or statement taking, physical recording of evidence on video or still images, research and occasionally the use of specialist in different forensic sciences or fields of law.
WHY HIRE A PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR?
Because we are here to look after your interests.
The biggest difference between a Lawyer or Solicitor and a Private Investigator is the method of operation, when preparing to deal with your Criminal or Civil matter. Investigators get out and about to find evidence, gather versions of events in affidavit or statutory declaration form, record the contributing conditions and look for evidence to support your version of events, or any dangers to your case. Lawyers, Solicitors and Barristers tend to focus on the theatre of court and how to deal with information presented to them.
For Missing Persons, Witness Location, tracing relatives and friends try our intelligence driven Australian Person Locator. This is NOT computer program but rather a human intelligence analyst, using public and private records and search engines, along with experience, fuzzy logic, an ability to ask questions and arrange for enquiries to be made by our networked private investigators, to find someone. We can locate people within Australia and overseas.
Do not believe that just because someone is charged by the police they are guilty. Charges are laid for a variety of reasons, including pressure from the public, clear up rates, department policy, the shotgun approach, poor police work and faulty investigations. Unfortunately, being charged, even if innocent, causes pain, social embarrassment, a financial burden and suffering to the accussed. Please look at Factual Enquiries as well as Criminal Matters. Our criminal investigations background Private Investigators can help.
Do not confuse a legal system with justice. You need a Private Investigator on your legal team.
We can be regarded as a resource that works for the client, not a government agency. We can work the hours the job needs, not what the department budget dictates. we will discuss budgets with you, and work in with what you can afford. We can travel, at your direction. We can supplement an official investigation. We are not obliged, generally, to reveal information on things we find in the course of our investigations, unless it is in the client's interest and with the clients permission. Examples of this include a request to make enquiries into a drug matter. a missing person or a possible 'date rape'. We will take the information to the police for you. But it is your decision.
We have succesfully traced people that have not been seen for more than 20 years, that have left the country and changed their name. We have tracked down 'lost' children after 30 years of seperation. We have provided profiles on people who are not what they appear to be.
