Private Investigators, Process Servers and Notary Services in PA, NJ, DE, MD, WV and MI
If you need documents, packages or other items delivered in your area – and you need it done somewhat quickly – a courier service can often be a better choice than the postal service. Courier services generally offer on-call pickup and delivery that beats the USPS when you need items delivered outside their traditional service times (and within a better time frame than they offer).
Hiring a dependable and trustworthy courier is as easy as 1 2 3!
When people think of private investigators, they commonly think of surveillance and investigation on a personal or private level. But what can a private investigator do for your business? Plenty! Below is just a sampling of the ways a PI company can help your business.
Background Checks: In today’s environment, businesses of all sizes commonly require background checks. Whether pre-employment or annual, a PI can provide civil and criminal record searches, bankruptcy information, credit reports and driving records. Planning a merger or acquisition? A PI can provide detailed background checks on the other company as well as its owners and partners.
People often ask what the most popular requests for service or information we get are.
In the past 6 months or so, the most popular request we’ve received is for information on cell phone bills or landline bills. As we’ve covered before, phone records are only obtainable with a subpoena.
The next most popular request comes from people who want us to follow their spouse or significant other. We can do this, however, we will not give you specific details unless you retain counsel or are listed as pro se in an active court case. We can offer you non-specific information, for example, “He/she is at a chain food establishment in Berlin, NJ with a white male,” but nothing more.
It seems lately there have been a lot of schools popping up claiming you can be a private investigator after 8 short weeks (or four months or whatever, the educational program lengths vary). This is misleading. In fact, while there are no educational requirements for private investigators in many states, including PA, NJ, DE, MD and WV, there are experience requirements. Specifically, you must have a minimum of 5 years’ experience as an investigator to become a licensed private investigator in these states. Relevant experience can include:
Most everyone likes a good origin story, right? So we’ve decided to share ours here on the blog.
Michele started out in investigations as an office manager for a private investigator in Montgomery County, PA. She applied for the position while attending business school and arranged to graduate two weeks early so she could assume her role at the PI agency. Starting out handling all the office work and inside investigations, she soon moved up to working out in the field. She became so competent at training, hiring and firing people as well as handling the day-to-day operations of a PI firm that the owner put a great amount of trust in her. Maybe too much trust – a couple of years into Michele’s tenure, he pretty much left her alone to run the firm.
We get requests from people all the time that they just don’t realize we can’t honor. Well…we can’t do them legally, anyway. And since we are a reputable private investigation firm (licensed, bonded and insured), we only perform services when we can do so legally. Potential clients see these things happening in movies and on TV and they think it’s real. So we want to set the record straight about some things Private Investigators CANNOT do for you:
