What Are Private Investigation Services?

​

Private Investigation Services involve the professional collection, analysis, and documentation of information to support legal, personal, or business-related matters. These services are conducted by licensed investigators who use surveillance, research, interviews, and advanced investigative techniques to uncover facts that are not readily available.

 

At Investigate NC, our investigations are tailored to each client’s needs—whether it’s a corporate fraud case, a domestic matter, or due diligence for a business decision. Our goal is to provide clear, defensible evidence that helps you make informed decisions and mitigate risk.

 

Core Components of Private Investigation Services

 

1. Surveillance Operations

 

Surveillance is one of the most effective tools in private investigations, allowing us to observe and document behaviors in real-time. Our team uses both mobile and stationary surveillance techniques to gather evidence discreetly and legally. We document activities with high-quality video, photographs, and detailed reports.

2. Background Investigations

 

Background investigations provide a comprehensive look into an individual’s history, helping clients make informed decisions. We analyze criminal records, civil filings, employment history, financial indicators, and more. These investigations are essential for pre-employment screening, tenant vetting, and partnership due diligence. Our findings are thorough, verified, and easy to understand.

 

What this includes:

• Criminal and civil record searches
