Surveillance isn’t as easy as walking up to someone and snapping some photos – in fact, it might not even be legal in some instances! If you need to tail a suspect and document their behaviour to address a suspicion, reaching out to a private investigator makes it possible to gather information legally and safely (not to mention without spooking them). That’s where our team at The Smith Investigation Agency is an ideal choice, always operating in a discreet and fully legally compliant manner.
Surveillance involves a variety of tasks that a private investigator can undertake. “Camping” in the vicinity of a suspect’s known location and jotting down their movements and activities from afar is one example. Alternatively, they may be able to take photographs in public spaces that demonstrate the suspected behaviour occurring. The more information we have to go on, the deeper we can dig in terms of your case.
Our surveillance services have been used for everything from protecting children in custody cases to documenting instances of infidelity, abusive employers, and otherwise.
