But wait – there’s more!
We do not claim to be everything to everyone and for that reason we specialise in just four important areas of private investigation which are: locating people, surveillance, basic to comprehensive background checks on individuals, as well as door knocks to identify a person.
Australians need to locate missing persons for a number of reasons. One might want to get in touch with a family member, or an old friend, or track down a person who owes them money. It might be necessary to find a witness in a legal dispute or a beneficiary in a deceased estate. Sometimes, there’s a need to identify and locate the user of a particular phone number or email address, or determine who lives at a particular address.
Locating missing individuals has become easier in the age of social media, however, there are still many people who are difficult to find. Private investigators are experts at finding people so if you can’t get an address or the contact details of a person you’re trying to find from a few Google searches, you might need the assistance of a Private Investigator.
Investigators locate missing persons using a variety of ways, including conducting database searches. Various exclusive databases store details for citizens and residents of Australia and by searching these records carefully, they can assist a PI to find a missing person. Of course, other types of inquiries are also necessary and a skilled investigator can advise you accordingly. Because it’s a niche skill set, relatively few investigators specialize solely in the locating missing persons arena, so ensure you seek the help of an experienced provider; one of which has had, at the very least, five years experience.
