| Private investigators provide any kind of investigative or protective service that clients want. The work could involve locating/ tracing missing persons, witnesses, debtors, assets (cash and/ or property) documents, or information; performing background checks on individuals, businesses or groups; video and photographic surveillance for matrimonial or insurance fraud; gathering evidence for criminal or civil trials; protecting clients or their property from theft, robbery, personal harm or other danger; determining if any criminal activity had occurred, and road traffic and industrial accident investigations. Some private detectives/ agencies specialize in niche services like personal protection services, or background investigations. Today the industry is high-tech and improved electronic aids and systems contribute to getting the private eye recognised as a professional service provider. Hidden cameras and recording devices, and other sophisticated gadgets are increasingly being used. In keeping with their fictional counterparts, private investigators do use disguises when the occasion demands. An outdoor and hazardous work environment is an occupational hazard for any investigator. Private Investigation |
