Low cost short term private investigations

We have a lot of clients with limited funds that want investigative work done. Our agency has kept the rates as low as possible to help out as much as possible but to do a short term investigation with a good chance of success, it is best that the client has a lot of information. We have done cases where a workers compensation provider contracted with us to do 40 hours of investigations to do an activity check. We then do surveillance and document the subjects activity or lack thereof. We have also taken cases where we would do short term surveillance like when the client knew that their spouse was cheating and also was able to get information as to where and when the infidelity was occurring. Then we set up surveillance and have a very high success rate for a small number of hours. This of course saves money on investigation time. It is very difficult to catch someone on a short term investigation if there is no more information than someone thinks their spouse is cheating. It all boils down to the time involved to try and catch them in the act. We have put in over 100 hours on some cases before we were able to document someone meeting their lover. Some affairs are very easy. They meet regularly a few times a week and can be caught quickly. We have had others where we learned that they met only once a month and the target was paying for sex in an area far away from his residence. To save the expense of surveillance, we will use GPS trackers. That way we know when the target is driving and where they are. This can cut the cost of an investigation dramatically. When the target vehicle stops, we are notified of the location. The only problem with this can be if we are not watching the subject at the time. It does save big money doing it this way and a lot of the time you can get a pattern of where the target is going and be able to catch them. This generally takes more time, but the chance of success is higher and the cost is much lower than having an investigator tail and do surveillance on someone that may or may not be cheating. A GPS tracker can do the "tailing" for you.
We look at each case individually and try to come up with the best chance of success at the lowest possible cost. Not all investigations will be successful and not every suspected spouse is cheating, but if you need to know, why not do it at the best possible price. There are a lot of good investigators out there that really do care and will work hard to help you on any investigation.

Thanks for stopping by and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!
