What Is A Domestic Violence Investigation?

Domestic Violence is a serious offense and local law enforcement should be contacted immediately if your life, or a loved one is in imminent danger. These specific case types can be one of the most challenging and sensitive of all with the violence taking place behind closed doors and on private property; leaving a potential witness possibly out of the equation. Taking the first step in contacting local law enforcement or a detective is sometimes difficult, as the children or ‘abused’ rely on the attacker financially. Domestic violence is one of the most common case types and can include violence beyond the physical type.

Domestic violence should always be categorized as a criminal offense. Countries such as the United Stated of America legislate the offense and is seen criminally if found guilty of a serious offense. Other countries have loose laws that side with the attacker in certain offense cases. Religion and cultures play their part in these ‘loop-holes that exist. If you are victim to domestic abuse, you should research laws and procedures for reporting these incidents.

How Can Investigators Help With Domestic Violence?

One of the largest benefits to hiring a local investigator for a domestic violence case is the expedited manner in which the case can be worked. Many local law enforcement agencies take the information that is obtained and work on a ‘lead’ action basis, meaning any witnesses or forthcoming evidence from 3rd parties moves the case along. Additionally private property poses a barrier for law enforcement making it difficult for them to obtain information. Many local law enforcement agencies embrace local investigators working these cases as they are able to covertly obtain information, and gain access to private property, being more flexible when laws come into play.

If you or a loved one are not comfortable hiring a private investigator directly, you can use a third party to indirectly engage with an agent and investigate the case. This is typically the case as the victim is too frightened to engage directly. A successful case, absent of the victims testimony is possible. If you or a loved one are in need of our professional services, including domestic violence, we stand at the ready to assist you.
