This isn’t your average desk job - being a Surveillance Investigator means you’ll have a career with excitement, travel, autonomy, and purpose.

• Unlike most PI companies, DigiStream provides full benefits, a company vehicle and paid travel
• FBI / Law Enforcement
• A foot in the door to the investigations/security/law enforcement fields

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

• 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
