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. This evidence is often critical in legal cases, insurance claims, and personal matters.

 

What this includes:

  • Covert mobile and stationary surveillance

  • Video and photographic documentation

  • Activity logs and timeline reporting

  • Behavioral pattern analysis

 

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

  • Employment and education verification

  • Financial and asset checks

  • Social media and digital footprint analysis

 

3. Infidelity & Domestic Investigations

 

Domestic investigations require discretion, sensitivity, and professionalism. We help clients uncover the truth in matters involving infidelity, cohabitation, and family disputes. Our investigators gather evidence that can be used in court or for personal decision-making. We prioritize confidentiality while delivering clear and unbiased findings.

 

What this includes:

  • Infidelity surveillance

  • Cohabitation investigations

  • Custody-related evidence gathering

  • Detailed investigative reports

 

4. Corporate & Workplace Investigations

 

Businesses rely on our services to identify internal threats, misconduct, and liability risks. We investigate employee theft, harassment claims, policy violations, and workplace violence concerns. Our approach minimizes disruption while protecting your organization’s reputation and legal standing. We provide clear documentation to support HR and legal actions.

 

What this includes:

  • Employee misconduct investigations

  • Theft and fraud detection

  • Workplace violence assessments

  • Internal compliance investigations

 

5. Fraud & Insurance Investigations

 

Fraud investigations help businesses and insurers reduce losses and prevent ongoing abuse. We uncover fraudulent

claims, staged incidents, and deceptive practices through detailed investigative work. Our findings are supported by evidence that can stand up in court or during claims disputes. This service helps organizations save significant money over time.

 

What this includes:

  • Insurance fraud investigations

  • Workers’ compensation surveillance

  • Claims validation

  • Evidence collection for litigation

 

6. Missing Persons & Locate Services

 

Locating individuals requires advanced research techniques and investigative expertise. Whether you are searching for a missing family member, witness, debtor, or subject of interest, we utilize databases, fieldwork, and intelligence gathering to find answers. Our approach is efficient, lawful, and results-focused. We deliver timely updates and verified information.

 

What this includes:

  • Skip tracing and locate investigations

  • Witness location services
