• FBI / Law Enforcement
• Opportunities for growth within the company via our Surveillance Investigator Promotion Track
• Professional, hands-on training program developed over the course of 20 years

What a day in the life of an investigator looks like:

• Detailed report writing on the activities observed/captured and submission of video evidence
• Monitoring, following, and videotaping subjects as they conduct their day-to-day activities
• Vehicle and foot pursuit of subjects while maintaining cover
• Activity varies from filming someone at a grocery story to filming them at a sports game
