Surveillance Definition

Websters dictionary defines Surveillance as watchful. Close watch kept over someone or something. Kolbach Investigations likes to take surveillance a step further and defines it as observing and recording the activities of someone of something without being discovered for the purposes of gathering information in order to bring closure to the investigation. To successfully accomplish that task our professionally trained, experienced and highly motivated investigators employ many methods using the latest technology in order to remain undetected and to ensure that we do not invade a person’s privacy or harass the subject in any way. Our investigators will not trespass on the subject’s property, enter the residence under false pretenses or use unethical tactics to obtain evidence.

– Observe physical activities in progress

– Identify associates

Corporate Surveillance

Corporate surveillance is useful when you want to ensure your company is being run the way you intended it to be. This is a great way to keep a close eye on the way your employees are conducting themselves. It is also useful when you are trying investigate an issue further such as insurance fraud, theft, property vandalism and worker’s compensation abuse. Surveillance may also be used to keep close tabs on computer activity and monitoring certain security areas.

Domestic Surveillance

For all other surveillance that isn’t tied to a business, we have domestic surveillance. You may be trying to get more information on a cheating spouse, a caretaker or child custody issues. Surveillance is a great way to do it. It can often be tempting to use home surveillance techniques to gather the information you need, but you should be aware that some forms of surveillance can be illegal. When you leave it up to the experts at Kolbach & Associates Investigations, Inc we will ensure all the information that we gather is completely legal.

Types of Surveillance

Our investigators have been trained in the following types of Surveillance:
– Stationary (fixed, plant, stakeout)
– Moving (close or rough)
– Close surveillance: The primary object is the continuous observation of the target without regard to whether the target knows they are under surveillance.
– Rough surveillance: This method is conducted in such a manner as to ensure that the target does not become aware of our surveillance activities.

Physical Surveillance

When our team of private investigators are using this form of surveillance, we will not be far from the subject throughout the duration of surveillance. We still may use photography, video or audio devices to gather our information, but we will always stay close to the subject.

Electronic Surveillance

This may include some technology like GPS devices, data transmissions, video as well as audio equipment to document the activity of the subject without needing to stay close. Most of these methods require the proper licensing that is held by our expert surveillance investigators so that the information gathered is within the law.
