Surveillance
Many people choose surveillance as a quick way to get the information
they need. Law Offices, Insurance Companies, Businesses and spouses all utilize
this investigative resource. Although, their individual reasons for
doing such differ, the technique is primairly the same. Initially we
need to decide if surveillance is an option. If so we need to decide
how many operatives it will take to get the job completed accurately
and efficiently. Once this is decided and
a budget is agreed upon our surveillance teams will use their skills
and perform the assignment. There is no guarantee in investigative work
and surveillance does not always produce the evidence one wants, but
it is definitely a proven approach for many matters. Our office has
priced surveillance accordingly (regardless, there is a four hour minimum
charge):
- Workers
Compensation: Also known as a subrosa. This investigation is requested
by insurance companies who need to determine the extent to ones injury
and what level of activity they employ. Primarily the operative is
fully trained with the use of video recording equipment as well as
covert tailing techniques.
- Domestic
: Also known as infidelity investigations: This investigation is done
when a spouse is unsure of their partners honesty. The client usually
advised our office of the expected place, time and location of a meeting.
We go there watching and videotaping the subject's activities. We
then report the information we learned to the client and proceed on
from there. Sometimes we do further investigation like more surveillance,
search for assets and verify background information.
- Corporate:
This type of investigation usually revolves around employee's, sub-contractors
and vendors involved in suspected illegal activity. Often we can send
an individual inside undercover or use covert video surveillance to
ascertain the information needed to alert the police to the illegal
behavior and prosecute them. Successful investigations have unearthed
illegal theft rings, drug dealing and usage, various incidents of
inventory shortage and
shrinkage and theft of trade secrets. Although, very successful, this
type of investigation could take months and could be costly. Sometimes
it is our only option.
The regular cost for surveillance starts at $75.00 per hour and there
is a four-hour minimum charge for each assignment. Additionally, there
is a $.40 per mile charge for each mile and we charge straight cost
for each expense authorized. The only difference would be in the corporate
field where, because of the large amount of ongoing hours,
we charge a reduced rate which is negotiated during the initial consultation.
Domestic
Domestic or divorce investigations, Child Custody Investigations or
missing persons matters are conducted by experienced private investigators
with the upmost respect for your privacy. This is the case whether you
need one of our Georgia Private Investigators or one of our Alabama
Private Investigators. The gathering of evidence to prove your case
is professionally handled whether it is to prove infidelity for a divorce
case, to obtain custody of a child or to determine if a relationship
is right for you.
Our private investigations are conducted to use the best in equipment
with the best investigative method. Your case may require surveillance,
courthouse research or direct inquiry to bring it to a successful conclusion.
Background Investigations
Domestic background investigations usually center around preemptive
intentions. Prenuptial agreements, the marriage of a child to someone
questionable, and personal engagements with others are all good reasons
to conduct background checks.
When you call in and request a background investigation, your investigator
will ask you several questions; trying to determine the area within
which to concentrate the search. Areas that can be examined include
criminal, civil, drunkenness, business, taxes, and more personal details.
Our investigator will work with you to concentrate on one specific area,
or all areas, depending on the needs of the case. It is more cost effective
to concentrate on specific areas, as opposed to a complete check. You
may find information that is irrelevant.
Employee
Theft
Employee theft can make an otherwise profitable business unprofitable.
The employee theft investigation can lessen or eliminate altogether
the amount of theft a company may be experiencing. A typical investigation
starts with the investigator throughly examining the existing condition
of a business. First, we listen to the problems that you are experiencing.
Often the greatest quantity of information comes from the home office.
Second, we inspect the place of business, on-site.
A thorough examination of the physical security of the workplace reveals
the possible paths that merchandise and money can take to exit the premises.
Once this initial examination is over, we propose a course of action
to counter the problem. Often is the case when we must insert someone
inside the place of business (as a customer or even as an employee)
to identify the parties involved. Every effort is made to record illegal
activity on videotape. In the event that quarters are too close for
even our most secretive equipment, our investigators are trained to
give the report in a narrative form that is completely admissible as
evidence.
Asset
Checks
Before you assign an asset check, we recommend that you obtain as much
information about the person's home and place of business as you can.
This saves a lot of time, which in the end, translate into money. If
you don't have this information, we can still do the check, but it will
take more time. We find that we do most of our asset checks in conjunction
with lawsuits and liens.
First, we determine where the subject of the asset check has resided
in recent years. Then, we determine whether or not the subject rented,
or owned his/her places of residence. This information is usually a
great indicator to determine the likelihood of assets.
After seeking these indicators, we check the tax assessor's office,
UCC records, business licenses and the civil courts to see to whom else
the subject is in debt.
What isn't Insurance or Domestic, we call Special. This category covers
a wide range of investigations, ranging from the simple asset check,
to complex employee theft. Fortunately for our clients, we have a great
deal of experience with all these types. This page discusses the following
types of special investigations:

Background
Investigations
Background checks are similar to asset checks in that the more information
we start with, the more information we'll produce. This is because we'll
have more time to spend looking into places that most would never look.
Background checks are very useful for pre-employment purposes. Most
of the business background checks that we do are for this purpose. Other
reasons that we do background checks are for lawsuits, and business
dealings. Forewarned is forearmed.
Our clients tell us what areas they are interested in looking into and
we uncover the relevant information that can be obtained. Geography
plays an important role in background checks. The more we are able to
narrow down the area of the check, the less it will cost.
Criminal/Civil Investigations
Criminal and civil investigations are the least standardized. Every
investigation poses different circumstances and problems. All of BAI's
criminal/civil investigators have law enforcement backgrounds. This
provides the client with an investigator that can help determine the
course that the case needs to take.
On these types of cases, the client and the investigator must work closely
with one another to maintain confidentiality and discretion. Fees for
the cases are the same as for all other investigations.
Subpoena Service
Subpoenas breaks down into two basic types: Friendly, and Unfriendly.
Usually, we find ourselves serving subpoenas in conjunction with your
attorney, but we serve quite a few without also.
