Employee Theft

Zurich Insurance reported that National figures in the UK reveal almost 6,000 workers were caught stealing from their employer in 2022, this up from 5,000 the year before. This is on average 500 incidents of employee theft every month!

If you suspect ongoing employee theft is occurring in your business get in touch.

No two investigations are ever the same. The initial thought is that they may be but rarely are client's situations the same!

No matter what type of investigation, THIS is what a good one looks like 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

All investigations can be broken down into 5 phases;

1️⃣ Enquiry received and data shared to us
2️⃣ Investigation objectives set and risk assessments complete
3️⃣ Data analysis from the client to decipher what is useable and what is not
4️⃣ Evidence gathering phase - surveillance, covert cameras, desktop searches etc
5️⃣ Report preparation and delivery

Monday Questions!

If you ever find yourself considering hiring a private investigator, please please please make sure it will be an investment.

If it's for business services to assist with employee disputes then 9 times out of 10 it will be an investment to enable your company to take informed action against the employee without worry of a legal claim coming back at the company for wrongful termination, as an example.

When hiring for personal reasons, strongly consider if the information and evidence provided will be an investment for you. Some of our clients have considered using us as a huge investment purely to get the truth after being lied to for years and this pays dividends to their mental health.

It doesn't always need to be monetary investment.

Monday Questions!

Remember Matt Hancock kissing his colleague? That was a prime example of an internal covert camera 👀

Recently there was a discussion around the placement of covert cameras inside peoples homes in a group.

Following a recent case it was asked if it is legal to place a covert camera in the bedroom and it is definitely not. Of course we discussed the morality of it too and we all agreed it is definitely not moral either!

If there ever was a basis it could be justified then it would have to be very serious conditions. The only one such situation we can think of is to evidence heinous domestic violence. Even then, it would likely be possible to evidence DV in other less intrusive ways.

This information does not involve baby monitors, however we have heard of them being used by people to try and catch their partners out..

Being a private investigator must be so cool!

We hear that a lot when meeting new clients and other businesses.

It can be jet setting off into the sun but it really can be the complete opposite especially with our toilet breaks!

Unlike in America private investigators do not require to be licenced in the UK.

There are very good agencies across the UK including Delta 74 but the best way to size up a service provider is to check they are registered with trade bodies and have solid practices and policies in place.

Locating a missing person 👀

There are lots of reasons why we are employed to find missing people but we always work within the law of finding them and part of that is establishing a 'legitimate interest'.

Not quite the newest technology on the market now but drones have been game changing in lots of industries including Private Investigations.

The use of drones must be lawful and used over public land filming activities being carried out on public land exactly the same as normal cameras are utilised.

Drones are used daily by Delta 74 Private Investigations and we won't deploy without them now!

There is huge list of services private investigators provide but if you ever feel you are being investigated here are some common reasons as to why.

That said in a lot of cases private investigators do act covertly👀🕵🏻‍♂️

Lots of us know filming in a public place is completely fine however when you film someone else covertly, do the rules change?

No, they don't.

CCTV and Google Street View both produce imagery, sometimes without people's knowledge whilst in the public domain which is completely legal. During surveillance tasks we operate in the same way.

Co-habitation investigations 🏠

This in a nut shell is an investigation to discover, prove or disprove who is living at an address.

The most common example is divorcing partners who claim to be living alone whilst actually living with their new partner in turn avoiding having to pay extra in things such as council tax!

The evidence gathered in this way by surveillance investigators can be crucial in court proceedings and worked to great effect recently for one of my clients.

You might have heard of a cohabitation investigation, but not know, or understand, what it means or what’s involved. You might also be seeking out the services of a private investigator but aren’t sure about which service you actually need. With that being said, let’s discuss cohabitation inve...
