General Surveillance
Surveillance investigations are done to provide attorneys, insurance claims, individuals, and businesses with evidence to build solid cases. Generally, video evidence of suspected fraudulent activities is obtained so that businesses can avoid paying expensive settlements and frauds for losses that never occurred.
At the Major Investigation Agency (MIA) in Alberta, the team of highly experienced investigators conducts surveillance investigations for corporate and insurance companies to find some evidence.
Our professionals have gone through rigorous training to gather evidence while adhering to the appropriate privacy laws. The standard techniques are incorporated into criminal investigations and coupled with other methods to find valid evidence.
Surveillance investigators have high-quality video equipment, and MIA uses state-of-the-art video cameras for video documentation. Our undercover operations range from basic photo surveillance to planning something inside an organization to find clues. This powerful combination of services and surveillance investigation is more than enough to meet your needs.
What Is Surveillance?
Surveillance is the close Observation of anything from a person or place to an object, where they are closely watched to see their interactions or whereabouts. It is generally used to search for a missing person and investigate cheating spouses, compensation cases, frauds, and criminals.
Common Types Of Surveillance
MIA uses various methods to carry out Surveillance, and each decision is entirely based on the type of case.
We use electronics, physical Observation, interviews, and technology to get to know the person.
Electronic
Private investigators often conduct Electronic Surveillance. They use television, wiretapping, and radios to monitor an individual’s activities, such as using phones, laptops, and other devices.
Physical Observation
Physical Observation is a type of investigation in which a person physically follows the subject to learn about his activity. It can involve multiple investigators to obtain every detail.
Interviews
Interviews are conducted when investigators need more information about a subject. Family members, neighbors, friends, or coworkers are generally interviewed for this purpose.
Technical
Technical Surveillance is one of the most used surveillance methods. It includes digital photography and video/audio recordings that businesses use as evidence.
