How does the process of hiring a private investigator work?

Below are the 5 stages to the investigation process:

1. You call our office and a licensed private investigator in Carlsbad, Ca. will listen to you explain the circumstances of your case. We will make sure that we fully understand what your case is about and exactly what you goals are.
2. The next thing we will do is outline an investigative strategy to you. We will let you know exactly how we plan to tackle your objective. Whether your case involves Surveillance for Infidelity, Business Related Surveillance, Background Check, Witness Statements, or Locating a Person, we will give you a clear idea of exactly what we plan to do to accomplish your goals.
3. Then we simply put our plan into action. In the private investigations business, not everything can be guaranteed. We cannot guarantee the results of the investigation because we never know what your subject is going to do. However, we can control what we do as Carlsbad Private Investigators and we can guarantee that we will do what we say we are going to do.
4. Communication during the investigation is critical to the success of the case, but also critical in keeping our clients happy. Over the past 20 years that we have been handling investigations in Carlsbad, Ca., we have found that if we keep the lines of communication open with our clients, and let them know how the case is progressing, they are much happier and satisfied with our service. We allow our clients the opportunity to contact our field investigators directly during the surveillance. This is a huge benefit in leading to successful investigations.
5. The final stage of the investigations process is to produce a well written, detailed and professional report. As private detectives, our product is the report we produce for our clients. We are committed to producing a well written report that can hold up in court and document everything we learned as well as organize the evidence in a professional manner.

What kind of evidence can I expect to get back from the investigation?

The answer to this question obviously depends on what evidence exists and/or what the subject does during the course of the investigation. It’s important for the client to realize that it’s not the private investigators fault if the subject of the investigation did not behave the way it was predicted. However, below is a list of the type of evidence a private investigator may send to a client at the conclusion of the investigation.

• Video and photographic proof of infidelity or outward displays of affection.
• Identity of the suspect’s boyfriend or girlfriend.
• All the locations the subject visited over a period of time.
• Who the subject associated with during the investigation.
• Criminal & Civil Records, Bankruptcy, Tax Liens and Judgments and additional public records.
• Locating addresses of missing persons.

It’s also critical to understand that some investigations do not produce proof of anything. If any private investigator guarantees you that he or she will obtain specific evidence, then you should steer clear of that P.I.
