A private NYC investigator is making a call

Top 4 Reasons to Hire Detectives in New York

When most people think of detectives in New York City, they usually imagine the city’s official police department. Of course, that’s a natural reaction since police investigators play such a vital role in solving crimes. However, private detectives also have an important role in helping the city’s residents get the answers they need. Here are the top four reasons why you might want to hire private detectives in New York.

Four Problems Detectives in New York Can Help You Resolve

While no investigation can ever guarantee results, a private investigator can be an invaluable resource when the police cannot help. For example, a New York PI may be your best option in case involving:

Marital Infidelity Concerns

Private detectives in New York City are often the only viable option when you have serious concerns about spousal cheating. While you could investigate such matters yourself, chances are that you’re unlikely to get the answers you need. It takes a trained professional to conduct proper surveillance and gather the evidence you need.

Child Custody Cases

Whether you’re in the middle of a divorce or just fighting for custody of your child, a private detective in NYC can help. To prevail in court, you will need evidence. Sometimes, that evidence comes from a background check. At other times, you may need to surveille the custodial parent to gather evidence that he or she is unfit. Whatever your need, professional private detectives have the skills to get those answers.

Fraud and Embezzlement

All too often, an employer’s biggest theft risk comes from his or her own employees. If your company is inexplicably losing money to theft, and you suspect that your employees may be the cause, detectives can help. Private investigators can help you get to the bottom of those losses, identifying fraud and embezzlement. Moreover, they can help you identify the perpetrator, to ensure that justice is properly served.

Missing Loved Ones

When loved ones go missing, most people contact law enforcement. Unfortunately, that approach doesn’t always yield positive results. There are specific criteria that have to be met for any official police report of a missing person. In addition, law enforcement does not always have the ability to prioritize your case. With a private investigator, you can rest assured that a true professional is on the job right away – and focused on helping to locate your loved one.

Obviously, those are just four of the many ways private detectives in New York City can help you. The best detectives can also help with background checks for dating, employment, or family law matters. They can assist you with asset searches, document verifications, or pre-marital checks. In short, NYC private detectives can provide the answers you need when you need them most.

If you or a loved one have questions that only a private investigation can answer, contact the experienced private detectives at International Security Services today. We can help to resolve those lingering questions, gather information and evidence, and give you the peace of mind you deserve.

Property Security Evaluation Report

Your Individualized Property Evaluation Report

Your site’s individualized property evaluation report contains information and analysis that you need to properly manage your site’s security needs. That information includes detailed analysis of the crime rate in your area, site access and parking protocols, and existing security infrastructure. Interior inspection includes analysis of emergency exits, fire suppression capabilities, and alarm infrastructure for emergencies. Exterior inspection includes analysis of structural defects, property lighting, and potential vulnerabilities in building access.

In addition to those inspections, our analysis also considered environmental factors, potential risks from older trees, outside property maintenance, and nearby crime that may overflow to the area. We also examined emergency response planning, including fire evacuation protocols and information supplied to residents about proper evacuation process.

 

Pressing Suggestions


We highly suggest a camera placement along this driveway, as the overhead cameras in the back parking lot may not capture all makes, models, and license plates of cars entering in and out based on the angle they are recording from. The best camera placement would be at the green circle closest to the sidewalk/street.
The common area is easily accessible, but based on the angle that cameras are set at the front lot, anyone can enter the basement common area concealing the side of their face that is facing the camera. This is not to say that the camera arrangement should be changed, but it is highly recommended to have coverage in this common area as the common area is on a lower floor not visible from the sidewalk.


However, a few fundamental problems exist when it comes to access control of the back parking (a big territory). Even though only two issues have ever occurred there, the wide-open access point to that lot may need to be corrected sooner than later as there is a significant uptick in crime in the 62nd precinct.

Furthermore, there are two fundamental surveillance blind spots along the driveway leading to the back parking lot and every common area.

Lastly, however unlikely it may seem, tenants should have resources and a physical guide for situations that may require an evacuation. Whether it be a flood or fire, each tenant should know how to use a fire extinguisher and where to evacuate to during a flood regardless of their proximity to a shoreline.
