How much does a private investigator cost?
The cost of an investigation depends on the complexity of the case, the number of hours required, and the resources involved. We offer a hybrid pricing model, including hourly rates and case-based retainers.
How do I know if I need a private investigator?
If you need reliable, discreet, and legally obtained information to make an important personal, legal, or business decision, a private investigator can help. Whether you’re dealing with suspicions of infidelity, child custody concerns, missing persons, corporate fraud, or background verification, we provide factual evidence to support your case.
How long does an investigation take?
Every case is different. Some investigations, such as basic background checks, can be completed within 24-48 hours. More complex cases, like surveillance or missing persons investigations, may take days or weeks, depending on the circumstances. During your consultation, we’ll give you an estimated timeframe based on your specific situation.
Will the person I’m investigating know they’re being watched?
No. Our surveillance and investigative techniques are 100% discreet and confidential. We use advanced methods to gather intelligence without alerting the subject, ensuring your privacy and the integrity of the investigation.
What Is A “Stop Point” in surveillance?
We don’t believe in wasting time, or your money.
That’s why we operate with strategic surveillance blocks. We have a set window (3 hours, minimum charge), and if we don’t observe movement, interaction, or target activity during that time, we’ll hit pause. No guessing games. No unnecessary hours billed. You’ll hear from us before we continue.
We don’t just sit in a car hoping something happens. We work smart, pivot when needed, and keep you in control of the plan, and the cost.
Do you take on missing persons cases?
Whether it’s a long-lost relative, a runaway, or someone avoiding legal matters, we absolutely take on missing persons cases. Unlike law enforcement, we work with no jurisdictional limitations, allowing us to pursue leads globally if necessary.
Can I hire a private investigator to follow my teenager?
In Canada, parents can hire a private investigator to monitor their minor child if they have legal custody and the investigation does not violate privacy laws. We offer solutions that respect both legal boundaries and parental concerns, such as monitoring public behavior and online activity.
Can I hire a private investigator to check if my partner is cheating?
Yes. Infidelity investigations are one of our specialized services. We conduct discreet surveillance, online research, and social media monitoring to gather evidence of a partner’s activities, providing you with clarity and peace of mind.
Do you provide evidence that can be used in court?
Yes. We document all findings professionally and can provide reports, photographs, video footage, and witness testimony as needed. Our investigative reports are compiled with the highest standards to be admissible in court for legal proceedings, including divorce cases, child custody disputes, and corporate litigation.
Do you follow a Code of Conduct?
Absolutely. Here in Canada, it’s the law. In fact, it has to be available on the website.
Per the Security Services and Investigators Act, follow the instructions located on the Complaint page.
