About us: The Private Group offer a broad service, with a wealth of experience in all area's.  Our staff are professionals who will maintain your privacy.  We can deliver local, National and International services.  We are networked worldwide, with the ability to deliver locally.

Our Investigations Division covers the Surveillance, Factual and Criminal Defence spectrum.  We understand that investigation involves the confirming or denying of a suspicion, or the preservation of evidence for later presentation to a court.  We carry a heavy responsibility in that the fulfilling of our obligation to our client may have a large impact on their life (or for solicitors and barristers, their clients lives).  We are aware of this obligation.

We have an intelligence driven people locator, utilising the services of our intelligence analysts.  This is not a program, but rather a human, using fuzzy logic and experience to interrogate various public and private indices, ask questions, make phone calls and arrange for on ground enquiries.  A very effective tool to locate missing persons, locate witnesses and search for long lost relatives.

Our Security Division covers Armed and Unarmed Guards, Close Personal Protection (Bodyguards), our 'safe hands' documents and valuables couriers - a Local, National and International delivery service, patrols, escort, static surveillance and electonic systems, as well as crowd contol and dog patrols.

Our Mercantile Division is an extension of our other divisions.  It allows us to access Mercantile information, act as process servers and deliver documents.  We have staff who are qualified Justices of the Peace (Queensland Justice Department) who can witness documents. 

We also conduct DEBT COLLECTION, due to it's strong linkage with investigation, as well as skip tracing and asset tracing.  We will seize and recover property where the proper documentation or proof is held.
