Private Investigation: Sharing information with your College investigator

Upon retaining one of our College Private Investigators, our relationship will begin with the exchange of information. This is the most important part of the investigation, as the information provided to us will expedite the investigative process. The more detail you provide in reference to the subject, the quicker the investigation can begin. The information given can also lead to a quicker result, as we can pinpoint where to focus our efforts in an investigation. 

Although frowned upon, there have been cases where client’s withhold information in reference to a subject. It is both the client and the investigators duty to ensure that any case conducted is done ethically. This has an adverse effect on the investigation and can create doubt on both the company and client end. In the event that information is withheld and the investigator does not find the information you know, it may be against the service agreement you signed, in turn voiding the investigation altogether. 

All clients have a duty to report the facts prior to a case commencing. Giving the investigator the opportunity to work the investigation to its full potential. Maximize your funds and the outcome of a case but doing such.
