When to hire Spade & Archer for surveillance.
Personal reasons
Individuals may conduct surveillance for various personal reasons, such as protecting their family from potential threats, investigating suspected infidelity, or monitoring the well-being of elderly relatives.
Surveillance can also be used to gather evidence in cases of harassment or stalking, or to document property damage.
Business Reasons
Businesses often face challenges that require discreet investigation. Employee theft, intellectual property protection, insurance fraud, and competitor activities are common issues.
Surveillance can provide crucial evidence to support legal actions, protect assets, and ensure the integrity of business operations. Private investigators offer specialized skills to uncover hidden information and mitigate potential risks.
Legal Reasons
The legal system relies on evidence to reach fair and just conclusions. Surveillance conducted by licensed private investigators can provide essential information for various legal proceedings, including divorce, child custody, personal injury, and criminal cases.
Private investigators adhere to strict legal guidelines, ensuring that evidence collected is admissible in court and supports the pursuit of justice.
