Covert Surveillance Operations

Do you suspect;

  • Insurance fraud?
  • Drug abuse?
  • Probation infraction?

    insurance Fraud/workers comp

    Is Workers Comp reluctant to investigate a work place injury you suspect is exaggerated or false? Do you have a suspicious damage claim against your company?

    For FY 2016, Ohio BWC had 2,707 allegations of insurance fraud, closed 1,503 with 668 (44.4%) as close founded with over 700 cases still open.  Misuse of workers compensation claims made against your company will continue to drive up your insurance premium cost.  If you suspect that not enough attention was given to your case and need additional investigations, give our Private Investigation Team a call to conduct your own investigation.

  • 2 Million employees experience workplace violence each year (Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries)
  • 78% of all workplace homicides were from shootings
  • The Private Investigation Team will assist your proactive company in developing a Workplace Violence plan and gather the necessary social, behavioral, and physical surveillance intelligence to help you mitigate any unforeseen risks or intent of your employee(s) to create violence.

    Corporate Employee Check

  • Do you suspect a breach of an employee's NDA or No Compete?
  • Is an employee sharing trade secrets with competitors?
  • Protecting your corporate identity and brand is essential for superior consumer and investor relations.  It only takes one employee's poor decisions or behaviors to tarnish the reputation for your company.  If you suspect an executive or employee of fraud, illegal behaviors or misconduct that could put your company's brand in jeopardy, call PSI for a confidential strategy session to gather the necessary evidence.

    At PSI, we will expedite locating even the most elusive of subjects and delivering your legal documents as efficiently as possible.

    Scam artists can be very convincing and sophisticated, especially now using various forms of online media like Craigslist, eBay and online dating sites. More recent scam alerts include security deposits for services or rental homes, purchasing counterfeit materials like concert tickets or artwork, or using false job advertisements to steal your identity.
