• Fraud/Theft/Undercover Operations:
  Insurance premiums and operating cost are rising at an incredible rate do in part to false claims, internal theft by scruple less individuals. We can provide needed assistance through surveillance, video, interviews, and background checks to put a stop to these practices that are costing all of us money. Undercover operations prove to be one of the most useful and reliable methods in combating fraud and theft in the workplace. Our undercover operations are well laid out, drawing from the real life experiences. Although successful completion of the operation is our goal, safety to our client and undercover operative is our paramount objective.

• Background Checks:
  It is amazing how many companies do not require background investigations as part of their hiring practices. Hiring is the easy part; getting rid of an employee may be costly to the company for a number of reasons. The employee has a history of violence, is a thief, a malcontent, lazy, not qualified or maybe a "plant" put there by your competition. This will cost you money in lawsuits, productivity and keeping your company's secrets secret. To hire, train and then have to release a new employee costs a company on average $5,000. Are you sure the information on the application is correct? Why would a person lie about their phone number? When we complete our investigation, you can be sure the person will be right for that position.
