5 Reasons to Hire a Private Investigator

March 28, 2023

A private investigator is useful for a variety of different reasons. Where you might think that they’re only used by companies in a commercial setting and people looking to catch out their cheating spouse, there are actually a fair few other ways in which a private investigator can help you. From fraud to background checks, here are five reasons why you should hire a private investigator today:

They can help with fraud cases

Whether you’re a business owner or need to have your suspicions verified in a personal capacity, then a private investigator will be able to provide you with evidence of fraud. Fraud is more common than you might think, this is because it can span from using someone else’s loyalty card to something far more serious, like defrauding a company out of money, for example. A private investigator will be able to review documents and carry out surveillance to either confirm or deny your fraud suspicions.

PIs can help to track people down

People tracing services are often used by family members, relatives or friends who are looking to track down long-lost loved ones. If you’re missing a friend or relative and aren’t sure where to begin in terms of finding them again, then you should first talk to a private investigator.

Delta 74 Private Investigations are proud to offer people tracing services. We work within a 48-hour window of enquiry, offering our people tracing services on a basis whereby if we don’t locate your missing loved one, you won’t be asked to pay a fee. In some cases, however, people tracing services can be used by debtors.

They can carry out meticulous background checks on a person or even a company

Background checks are usually carried out in a commercial or business setting, for whatever reason. It might be that a company is hiring someone who has claimed that they don’t have a criminal record, for example, so it’s the job of the private investigator to carry out a background check on the individual to make sure that they don’t have a criminal record. This is usually something that’s done for the peace of mind of the employer and is not a reflection on, or the questioning of, an individual’s character or morals.

On the other hand, background checks can also be conducted in a personal capacity. For example, you might have met someone online and wish to make sure that they are who they say they are. This is where a private investigator comes in. Whether you’re concerned about financial history, past relationships or are even in doubt about their identity, then a personal background check should be something you consider.

Delta 74 Private Investigators have a team of fully-qualified, highly-experienced private investigators who can always be counted upon to conduct thorough background checks whether it be in a commercial or domestic setting.

They can gather valuable surveillance data

There are plenty of reasons as to why someone might want to gather surveillance data. It might also be that they wish to have counter surveillance carried out, which is slightly different to the aforementioned. Surveillance involves gathering extensive intelligence regarding a certain person, a group of people or even a business.

A private investigator will be able to conduct covert surveillance if this is something you need to have carried out. This is something that couples might undertake if they suspect that their significant other is being unfaithful or if they think that they’re up to something they shouldn’t be.

Counter surveillance, on the other hand, is where measures are put in place to help prevent someone from carrying out surveillance on you. We’ll provide you with expert, bespoke advice whereby it’ll be recommended that you change your routine in some way. There are plenty of other measures that are also put in place to prevent someone from anticipating your movements or following you around.

We understand that the situation is likely distressing for our clients and so we’ll always carry out our services with the utmost discretion and respect. We’re also able to conduct counter surveillance services if this is relevant to you.

They’re able to sweep for bugs

It’s not uncommon for individuals and businesses alike to be targeted through the use of bugs. Bugs are tiny devices that can be planted in a property without being detected. They’re so small that they can be placed on or inside almost any product that might be in the vicinity. They go unnoticed by most people as they aren’t trained in the art of bug sweeping, like a private investigator would be.

If you suspect that your property is littered with cameras or audio bugs, or even if you think that there’s just one or two in the surrounding area, then you’ll be able to call a private investigator to do a bug sweep for you.

Delta 74 Private Investigations are able to carry out bug sweeping services, whereby the presence of electronic listening or recording devices will be detected and removed. If you feel as though you’re being spied on, then our team of private investigators will be on hand to help you.
