Corporate Investigation

Our corporate investigators conduct internal and external investigations for corporations.

In internal investigations, we may investigate drug use in the workplace, ensure that expense accounts are not abused, or determine whether employees are stealing merchandise or information.

External investigations attempt to thwart criminal schemes from outside the corporation, such as fraudulent billing by a supplier.

G-1 Tactical Solutions has many methods to choose from when determining the facts in a case. Much of our work is done using a computer, recovering deleted e-mails and documents, for example. We may also perform computer database searches or work with someone who does. Computers allow investigators to quickly obtain huge amounts of information such as a subject’s prior arrests, convictions, and civil legal judgments; telephone numbers; motor vehicle registrations; association and club memberships; and even photographs.

G-1 Tactical Solutions also performs various other types of surveillance operations. To verify facts, such as an individual’s place of employment or income, we may make phone calls or visit a subject’s workplace. In other cases, especially those involving missing persons and background checks, investigators interview people to gather as much information as possible about an individual. Sometimes our investigators will go undercover, pretending to be someone else to get information or to observe a subject inconspicuously.

Most G-1 Tactical Solutions detectives and investigators are trained to perform physical surveillance, which may be high-tech or low-tech. They may observe a site, such as the home of a subject, from an inconspicuous location or a vehicle. Using photographic and video cameras, binoculars, and cell phones, detectives often use surveillance to gather information on an individual. This process can be quite time consuming.

The duties of G-1 Tactical Solutions investigators depend on the needs of our clients. In cases that involve fraudulent workers’ compensation claims, for example, investigators may carry out long-term covert observation of a person suspected of fraud. If an investigator observes him or her performing an activity that contradicts injuries stated in a worker’s compensation claim, the investigator would take video or still photographs to document the activity and report it to the client.

We must be mindful of the law when conducting investigations. We keep up with Federal, State, and local legislation, such as privacy laws and other legal issues affecting our work. The legality of certain methods may be unclear, and investigators must make judgment calls when deciding how to pursue a case. We must also know how to collect evidence properly so that they do not compromise its admissibility in court.
