What is a bug sweep, and do I need one?
A bug sweep (technical surveillance countermeasures, or TSCM) is an inspection of a home, vehicle, or office to detect hidden cameras, microphones, GPS trackers, or other covert devices. If you suspect you're being monitored without consent — during a divorce, business dispute, or otherwise — a sweep can confirm or rule that out.
---
How does a child custody investigation work?
We gather documented, factual evidence relevant to a custody matter — such as observed behavior, living conditions, or compliance with court orders — that you or your attorney can use in proceedings. Every investigation is conducted lawfully and discreetly.
---
Can your findings be used in court?
Our reports are prepared with the goal of being clear, factual, and properly documented so they can support legal proceedings. Our owner's 17 years of law enforcement experience includes preparing documentation and testimony for court. Always confirm specific evidentiary requirements with your attorney.
