Surveillance can gather some of the most convincing evidence. However, an improperly conducted surveillance can result in tort liability. The investigator conducting the surveillance must know the laws governing this field and be sure to avoid harassment, invasion of privacy, and entrapment. Our surveillance operatives pride themselves on their knowledge of such laws and experience through former careers in the United States Military and Law Enforcement.
Through our various industry contacts, we are also able to sell or rent personal surveillance equipment for your home or office at exceptionally low prices, including installation and periodic re-adjustment.
