There are a number of situations in life when information or confirmation of any suspicions is needed, but independent efforts do not bring the desired result, and you do not want to contact the law enforcement agencies because of the piquancy of the situation. That's when the help of a private detective comes in handy.
A private detective is an individual entrepreneur who provides services similar to those provided by criminal investigation officers. They are looking for missing people, debtors, tracing stolen cars and spying on unfaithful spouses or unscrupulous partners. In addition, private investigators help to collect information on criminal and administrative cases for lawyers, victims or defendants for submission to court. Their help in such delicate situations as revealing the facts of unfair competition or copyright infringement, proving the borrowers' insolvency is invaluable.
How much does a private investigator cost?
The cost of the services of a private detective depends on the reason for the appeal, the complexity of the task and his qualifications as a specialist.
Orders that require relocation, trips to other cities are, of course, more expensive than tracking an unfaithful husband or wife and confirming the fact of treason. The price includes not only the hourly wages of the detective, but also the payment for plane tickets, train or fuel for the car. Payment for accommodation in a foreign settlement, the so-called business trip, also falls on the shoulders of the customer.
Cases related to the production, detection and confirmation of industrial and information espionage are one step higher than all others in the scale of cost. Such orders are associated not only with the search for certain evidence, but also with a certain risk, sometimes even for the life of a detective.
The cost of finding missing or hiding persons, searching for evidence and collecting evidence is also high. But in these cases, the price depends, again, on the amount of work, its complexity and the time and effort required for this.
Payment for the services of a private detective takes place in accordance with the procedure described in the contract, which must be concluded with the client. Advance payment in full or in part is possible, but payment is often practiced "after the fact", that is, after the completion of the work.
How to choose a good private detective
Before asking for help from a private investigator, you need to make sure of his competence. Preference should be given to those detectives who have experience of working in investigative bodies or the police. In addition, you need to find out whether he has permission to carry out such activities, that is, whether his enterprise is licensed, whether it has state registration. Persons who have not properly formalized the detective activity have no right to engage in either the collection of information or any searches, and the material collected by them will not have any legal force and cannot be presented in court as evidence.
And, of course, before you sign an agreement with a private detective, you need to read the reviews about him from those who have already used his services.
