We go beyond the simple background check that you can pull online – which oftentimes is incomplete and inaccurate – and conduct in-depth, analytical assessments on individuals. This could be for upcoming litigation or to vet a potential corporate executive or business partner. We conduct exhaustive searches on all available records and use software and databases that require a PI license to access.
The types of information that we can pull include but are not limited to:
criminal histories – civil litigation – social media/online presence – marriage/divorce records – property records and address history – vehicle ownership – business affiliations – judgments, liens, assets – professional licenses
We live in a digital society where billions of people worldwide share personal information on social media every day. An individual’s biographical information, conversations with others, photos, behavior, personal preferences, associations, etc. can be valuable assessment data in a legal, criminal, or corporate investigation. For example, it can help to validate or disqualify an alibi, establish a person’s character, or show direct associations with nefarious individuals.
Our social media assessments derive from analyzing all types of platforms such as social networking sites, community blogs, review sites, and even dark web postings. We use social media analytics, link analysis software, and third-party data aggregator programs to help create our assessments. We keep a pulse on the latest and upcoming social media sites to ensure we give our clients the most comprehensive package available.
The dark web (content inaccessible by standard search engines that must be accessed with a special anonymizing browser like TOR) can contain valuable information, especially in a criminal investigation. It may help shed light on missing persons, illegal sales, or other types of illicit activity.
If a case warrants it, we have the training and capabilities to search the dark web safely and effectively. When you hire us, you get the whole package; we will search near and far to give you the information that you need.
Surveillance can be an effective tool to document a person’s behavior or pattern of life. It can supplement online research and help build a clearer picture of what’s happening for our client. Depending on the case, sometimes undercover work is warranted. Our training in behavioral analysis, elicitation, and countersurveillance helps ensure our operational methods are safe, discreet, and effective.
Rest assured that we keep up to date and abide by federal and state privacy laws. Our network of licensed Private Investigators and trusted former government colleagues means we can facilitate operations outside of our local geographic region on time-sensitive cases. Each case is unique and we will work with you to implement a strategy and keep you updated along the way.
Digital forensics, the recovery and examination of electronic data using scientific methods and validated tools, can be invaluable evidence for criminal or civil cases. Digital evidence from mobile devices, tablets, computers, smart watches, flash drives, etc., can help validate events and behavior in judicial proceedings.
Electronic data must follow a strict chain of custody to avoid potential tampering, for the court of law to accept it as evidence. At Premier Pathfinders, you can have the security and confidence knowing that the extracted data follows proper protocol, is reviewed with the most cutting-edge, technologically advanced software, and is documented properly for presentation in court.
Our mission is to provide our clients with the most accurate, relevant, and actionable information to best serve their objectives.
