Investigative Surveillance
Discreet surveillance. Documented answers.
Sometimes information isn't readily available through conversations, records or online research. You may need to understand someone's activities, verify a concern or document what is actually taking place. Professional surveillance involves the discreet observation of people, locations and activities to develop information relevant to an investigation. Hamre PI works with individuals, attorneys and businesses to understand their objectives and determine an appropriate surveillance strategy. Each investigation is different, and the approach depends on the circumstances, available information and what needs to be established.

Surveillance Questions
Common questions about private investigator surveillance
Depending on the circumstances, this may involve observing an individual's movements, documenting interactions, identifying locations or recording relevant activity through photographs or video when legally permissible.
The purpose is to develop reliable information rather than rely on assumptions or speculation.
There are important legal restrictions involving privacy, trespassing, recording private conversations, electronic tracking and other investigative activities.
The appropriate methods depend on the circumstances of the investigation. Hamre PI can discuss the general scope of a proposed investigation before work begins.
However, no investigator can guarantee that surveillance will never be noticed. Circumstances, locations and the subject's behavior can affect an investigation.
The availability of visual documentation depends on the circumstances, location, visibility and nature of the activity being observed.
Not every observation can be photographed or recorded, and an investigation should never promise evidence that cannot reasonably be obtained.
Some assignments may require only a limited period of observation, while others may involve multiple days or separate surveillance periods.
During the initial consultation, we can discuss your objectives and the anticipated scope of the investigation.
Some investigations are relatively straightforward, while others require extended observation or multiple assignments.
Contact Hamre PI to discuss your circumstances and receive information about the anticipated scope and cost.
The admissibility of photographs, video, reports and other investigative materials depends on applicable laws, evidentiary rules and the specific case.
If you are considering surveillance for litigation, we recommend discussing your objectives with your attorney before the investigation begins.
Private investigators must respect applicable laws concerning private property, recording, trespassing and protected communications.
An appropriate surveillance plan considers these restrictions before an assignment begins.
The circumstances, environment and subject's behavior can all affect the ability to conduct surveillance discreetly.
Your initial consultation is an opportunity to discuss your concerns privately and determine whether investigative surveillance is appropriate for your situation.
