Why Hire a Private Investigator in New York City?

Most people think of investigations as something that only law enforcement personnel ever do. However, there are many complex questions in life that public investigators simply cannot help you answer. Sometimes, it’s because those investigators are ill-equipped to deal with an issue. In other cases, law enforcement may simply lack the legal ability to assist you with your problem. Fortunately, private investigators can help when you need investigations services in New York City.

A Broad Array of Investigative Services

The police and other government investigators are typically only able to help you in matters of public interest. For example, they can investigate most crimes. They can sometimes help recover stolen property, or missing children. Local police will even do basic investigations at an accident scene. However, they are rarely able to assist with many of the most sensitive general investigations or business investigations – and have no ability to help you with overseas investigation concerns.

For assistance in those areas, you need to rely on a private investigation company in NYC that can handle sensitive investigations of things like infidelity, child custody concerns, adoption research, and missing persons. You may even have sensitive business investigation needs to uncover fraud or fight back against false insurance claims. While the police can’t help you with those issues, a private investigator can.

Befits of Private Investigations:

There are powerful reasons to hire private investigators to get the answers you need. For example:

  • Private investigators have the training and experience needed to properly investigate most important issues of concern. Their experience enables them to efficiently identify the best sources of information, and then effectively gather the evidence you need to answer vital questions or prove your case in court.
  • These investigators are discreet. While law enforcement is a public concern, private detectives can manage investigations in a way that protects your privacy. Surveillance, research, and other investigative tools are used covertly, ensuring that your confidentiality is respected at every stage of the process.
  • Well-trained investigators understand legal standards and your evidentiary needs. Whether you’re battling in a divorce case or trying to track down corporate fraud or spying, you need evidence to make a case. Competent investigators are well-trained in the art of recognizing relevant evidence and gathering it using both human and technological resources.
  • Speaking of technology, private detectives have access to the photographic, video, and audio tools needed to get you evidence that will stand up in a court of law. That’s critical when you need to win a custody dispute, overcome a case of identity theft, or simply prove that your spouse has been unfaithful.

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.
