A recent Inc. Magazine article (July 2012 issue) illustrates the importance of being diligent at on-line reputation management as a business owner. The article explains how Veritas Prep was attacked by libelous claims about its services. Although the company CEO used a variety of tactics to end the assault, one thing not mentioned in the article is the use of a private investigator to conduct counter surveillance against the perpetrator. In this instance, Veritas knew who was behind the damaging claims about its company. This would have made the surveillance easier. In some instances, however, a private investigator will also need to conduct an electronic skip tracing investigation to track down the owner of an account. As a business owner, here’s what you should do to protect your brand and reputation:
Though the following book may not be useful for all readers, it is something that both the Californian private investigator and clients (especially attorneys) should read. It is written by David Queen, a tenured federal prosecutor, defense attorney, and licensed private investigator. The book’s legal focus makes it very useful guide for assured due diligence in investigative cases. Investigators and clients residing outside of California can benefit from this text by using it as a reference when subcontracting or when an investigation shifts to California legal statute. As a reference book, it can certain assure that the investigator handling a case is operating within the rule of law. |
Equipment is importantCovert Investigations uses Gen-3 military grade night vision on all night surveillance. See a demo at:
http://www.covert-pi.com/services.html and http://www.covert-pi.com/ Gen-3 equipment gives you facial recognition from long distances in the middle of the night and with little to no light. The Gen-3 equipment is not to be confused with the inadequate night shot feature that comes standard with all video cameras. That video when produced only gives silhouetted images and is useless for evidence purposes. If you have an assignment at night and you want quality identifiable evidence please call me or search a company that has similar equipment. If an agency says they have Gen-3 equipment demand it be used and refuse to pay for the assignment if the it is not used. Covert Investigations will never bill a client for failure on our part. Your evidence is important to your case. Be sure your Investigator has that equipment.
