Surveillance Operations
Surveillance documents activity at relevant times and locations so you can review what actually happened instead of relying on assumptions.
We handle personal, family, legal, and business matters throughout Wake and Durham counties.
When Surveillance May Help
Surveillance can document activity, routines, and locations when observation is appropriate for the situation.
Surveillance may help with:
- Infidelity concerns
- Child custody matters
- Corporate investigations
- Fraud and theft cases
- Missing person or locate support
- Employee-related concerns
- Activity and timeline documentation
- Attorney-directed investigation support
Before field work begins, we review the details and explain what may be realistic and appropriate.

What We Document
Activity and Patterns
We document relevant activity, locations, timing, movement, and visible behavior connected to the case.
Photos and Video
When lawful and appropriate, surveillance findings may include photo or video documentation.
Clear Reports
You receive organized information that may include dates, times, observations, timelines, and supporting details you can review with your attorney, business advisor, or trusted decision-maker.
How Surveillance Works
Confidential Consultation
Tell us what is happening, what you need to confirm, and why the information matters.
Case Planning
We review locations, timing, available details, safety concerns, and the goal of the surveillance.
Field Work and Reporting
If the case moves forward, we conduct surveillance from lawful locations and provide clear documentation of relevant findings.
How We Handle Surveillance
We do not trespass, impersonate law enforcement, hack accounts, access private records without authorization, or use harassment tactics.
We do not promise a specific outcome. Our focus is lawful observation and accurate documentation.
