Choosing an investigator is hard.
You’ve probably never had to conduct an investigation before, or make discreet checks, balances and enquiries. But when the need arises, how do you decide which Investigator to use? Which firm is the best one?
Are they all private investigation firms the same? The answer to this is “No”.
At National Inquiry Agency, we have had a lot of clients come to use after visiting other firms where they have spent a lot on money on an investigation, with little to nil movement in their case, experienced delays and have to come to us as a last resort to have matters resolved. As experienced private investigators, with any client, we immediately explain what we can do in terms of strategy, what we can do within an investigation in attempts to obtain a result, the likelihood of success, and explain what type of techniques will be utilised in an attempt to obtain a result.
Spending a bit of time to undertake research on which Private Investigation firm is the best fit, as to what their services are, such as mobile forensics, surveillance, background checks or other types of enquiries are needed, and which firm provides this service. Doing this research may save you a lot of funds and safeguard you from issues down the track.
What makes our Private Investigators Different?
Our private detective agency is honest and transparent. And, not all Investigators are honest. Some other private investigation firms will take exuberant funds up front, promise the world and then come back with no result. Some will not even show proof of work being carried out or the fruits of their non-labour. This is a waste of money and resources.
When you hire a private investigator like us, work is carried out by our private investigators, whether it be our private investigators in Sydney, Perth, Melbourne, or any other state in Australia, or internationally, we ensure that we show what we have undertaken and capture the same in a report.
What private investigators do to obtain results is often not disclosed by other firms leaving clients in the ‘dark’. It is unknown to the what goes one behind the scenes to the average person with most investigations. With this, the problem for private investigators and their clients is that the areas dealt with in investigations can raise complex legal questions.
Combined with the investigations industry being relatively unregulated in certain areas, a few rogue operators can deceive clients into acting improperly to get results. This is dangerous. Obtaining illegally acquired evidence is not admissible in Court. Ensuring that the techniques used are legal are vital. Also checking that a private investigator is licensed through the appropriate licensing body is important.
Most clients of investigators will not know the “ins” and “outs” of the law relating to investigations, so it’s essential that they choose an experienced investigator with legal training.
Our Founder at National Inquiry Agency, is a qualified Solicitor, admitted by the Supreme Court of New South Wales. She instils legal compliance with all investigations and ensures employees and contractors don’t use dark techniques or methods. Our company holds strict policies and procedures that employees abide by, and this same compliance is reiterated to all of our contractors.
Our private detective agency Sydney specialises in skip tracing being the art of locating people, background checks, surveillance and process serving Sydney, as well in all States and Territories.
Price & Costs
Price Point is essential when you Hire a Private Investigator. It’s often the deciding factor for choosing a provider over another.
In terms of hiring someone, to undertake an investigation, it’s important to note that the provision of investigative services is heavily based on the Investigator’s skill set, experience, and knowledge. We understand that selecting a skilled operator in a saturated market is especially difficult; however, electing a less expensive operator may be a costly mistake.
We encourage you to safeguard yourself by researching the operator’s licensing, educational attainment, and reputation before deciding who to go with. There are investigators in our industry that have landed in hot water and have bad media coverage, who undertake unlicensed work, or immediately contract out their work without running of proper checks on the background and strategy of the case file.
Its “you pay for what you get” in our industry. Cheaper is not better, its more dangerous.
