Current revenue

A ccording to IBIS  W orld  ( January 2017 )   current  revenue is $6B and is grow  expected to grow  at 1.6% .    P rivate eyes are essential to the criminal justice field because of their ability to work on a verity  of different cases including but not limited too child custody cases ,   stalking cases, workers comp cases, missing persons cases, business investigations, child abuse investigations, crime scene investigations and fraud investigations.  Having evidence admissible in court is imperative.  That includes but not limited too detailed reports, photogenic evidence,  texts,  emails and voicemail. In todays world the internet and social media plays a huge role in collecting evidence and locating someone.  Whether  you are looking for a  suspect, missing  persons or doing surveillance. 

Data provided by a private eye

The data provided by a private eye can be game changing to a case.  A private eye will provide data such as visual confirmation of a suspect’s actions or whereabouts.  A PI’s confirmation is credible because they are a third party removed from the case.   Additionally,   a PI conducts research, either online or by collecting photographic and in some instances physical evidence.  Physical evidence can include paperwork.

Gathering information

It is important to gather  information on the person starting with the basics of who ,  what,   when ,   where and why.  Here are some examples, who is the person you are looking for? Who do they associate themselves with?  What kind of person do their family and peers describe them as?  What was going on in their life at the time of the crime or at the time they went missing? When did they start exhibiting unusual behavior “if any” was there a specific life event going on at the time?  For  instance,  divorce, drug use, mental health issues? Where do they work?   Why did they run away, commit a crime or where they taken against their will?  

I feel that using these basic  questions is a great start to gathering information to put together a case for your attorney thus saving you time and money.
