Corporate surveillance may need to be conducted for a variety of reasons. You may want to prove that a worker on a compensation claim is being honest about their incapacity. It may be necessary to prove where a breach of a contractual arrangement is taking place such as non-compete clause, proof of sales. Other ways in which corporate surveillance may be necessary are:

• Where there is property loss due to theft in a business.

• It may be required when an employee has finished and has a non-compete clause within their contract.

• To ensure that staff outside of your direct control are behaving in a manner which reflects the company values.

Surveillance is one tool that an investigation can utilise. It can be extremely effective when used correctly. However, it may need to be used in conjunction with other investigative methods to ensure that it is used at its ultimate purpose. Surveillance teams can also be used where necessary. Regardless, our investigators have highly developed skills when conducting surveillance either alone or in groups of two or more.
