Employee Theft
Employee theft poses a significant risk to businesses, potentially causing severe damage in the long term. As employers, when we place trust in our hires, they gain access to critical items, products, and information, making our company vulnerable. Unfortunately, instances of employee theft often remain undetected until considerable harm has already occurred.
Should you suspect an employee of theft, our team specializes in gathering legally admissible evidence. Unlike evidence collected by companies, which defense attorneys may challenge, our thorough approach ensures the evidence we gather holds up in court, regardless of the defense.
Pre-Employment Investigations
Employee theft is a serious threat to businesses, impacting financial stability and trust within the organization. Implementing robust measures to prevent and detect employee theft is essential for safeguarding your company’s assets and reputation.
- Thorough Background Investigations: Conducting comprehensive background checks on all employees helps identify any past criminal activities, including theft-related offenses.
- Red Flags Detection: Our team specializes in spotting hidden red flags during background screenings. These flags may include discrepancies in employment history, unverifiable qualifications, or past criminal records related to theft or fraud.
- Education and Training: Educating employees about the consequences of theft and implementing clear policies and procedures can deter potential theft. Regular training sessions on ethical conduct and fraud prevention also contribute to a culture of integrity within the organization.
- Surveillance and Monitoring: Implementing surveillance systems and monitoring employee activities, especially in high-risk areas such as inventory storage or cash handling, can deter theft and provide evidence in case of suspicious behavior.
- Whistleblower Policies: Encouraging employees to report any suspicious activities anonymously through whistleblower policies fosters transparency and allows timely intervention to prevent potential theft incidents.
Employee Termination & Risk Management
Our team conducts thorough investigations to assess whether terminated employees pose risks, such as unauthorized access to confidential information or potential harm to the company’s interests. We collaborate with agencies nationwide to ensure a seamless and legally compliant termination process. Additionally, we offer risk management services to evaluate and mitigate termination-related risks, providing expert guidance and evidence gathering to support the termination decision.
Our security company provides comprehensive security solutions that extend beyond traditional security measures. Here’s how we can assist with the areas mentioned:
Security Guards Beyond Just Security: Our trained Physical Security not only provide protection but also offer additional support to your other employees, access control, and emergency response, ensuring a safe and welcoming environment for your business.
Nationwide Criminal Investigations
Our investigative methodology incorporates Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) investigations alongside traditional record retrieval methods, ensuring thoroughness and reliability in our pursuit of crucial evidence for criminal investigations.
Social Security Verification
While often overlooked, conducting a Social Security Verification (SSV) serves as a crucial step to confirm the identity of an individual. Beyond identity validation, an SSV can uncover instances where a person’s Social Security Number (SSN) has been utilized by other entities nationwide. This additional aspect of SSV enhances security measures and provides valuable insights into potential identity-related risks.
Asset Investigations
Asset investigations and verification checks are essential for various scenarios, making them a common service offered by private investigators (PIs). Here’s why PIs conduct asset investigations:
- Divorce Proceedings: During divorce cases, one party may attempt to conceal assets to avoid equitable distribution. PIs help uncover hidden assets to ensure a fair settlement.
- Business Mergers: Prior to merging with another company, it’s crucial to assess the financial health and assets of the target company. PIs conduct asset investigations to provide insights into the potential risks and benefits of the merger.
- Due Diligence Checks: Investors and businesses conduct due diligence to verify the financial status and assets of potential partners or investments. PIs help ensure transparency and mitigate risks through comprehensive asset investigations.
- Civil Lawsuits: In civil litigation cases, asset investigations can be crucial to identify assets that could satisfy a judgment or enforce a settlement. PIs assist clients in locating assets to support their legal claims.
- General Asset Verification: Individuals and businesses may require asset verification for various reasons, such as assessing financial stability or confirming the legitimacy of assets. PIs help clients verify the existence and value of assets through thorough investigations.
For prospective clients, understanding the scope and importance of asset investigations helps them make informed decisions and protect their interests.
Address History Verification
A private investigator (PI) would conduct rental verification investigations to confirm whether the subject of their investigation has resided at specific addresses as claimed. This verification process is crucial for landlords and renters alike for several reasons:
- Tenant Screening: Landlords use rental verification to assess the credibility of potential tenants by verifying their past residency history.
- Fraud Prevention: Rental verification helps prevent rental application fraud, such as providing false residency information to secure tenancy.
- Risk Mitigation: Verifying residency history minimizes the risk of renting to tenants with undisclosed issues or unreliable rental histories.
- Legal Compliance: Landlords may need to comply with legal requirements regarding tenant screening, which often include verifying residency information.
By conducting rental verification investigations, PIs assist landlords in making informed decisions about prospective tenants, ensuring a smoother and more secure rental process for both parties involved.
Social Media Investigations
Private investigators perform social media investigations to identify various social media accounts associated with subjects online. These checks enable monitoring of account activities across all social media platforms, providing valuable insights into an individual’s online presence and behavior. By examining public social media posts, PIs can gather evidence permissible for investigations, as long as the information is obtained legally. This practice helps uncover relevant information that may aid in various investigations, such as background checks for employment purposes.
