What We Investigate

Whether you're dealing with a repeat shoplifter or a coordinated theft ring, we offer discreet, detailed, and prosecution-ready investigative services.

Shoplifter & Habitual Offender Investigations

We identify repeat offenders by analyzing surveillance footage, linking incidents across locations, and confirming identities using specialized retail crime tools - facial recognition, license plate queries - among others. Each case is documented with precision to support long-term investigations, restitution, and criminal charges.

Internal Employee Investigations

We discreetly investigate dishonest employee activity by auditing transactions, reviewing camera footage, and identifying behavioral patterns tied to fraud or theft. Our goal is to provide clear, actionable evidence for HR or law enforcement use.

Case Development & Law Enforcement Referral

We compile detailed case files—complete with timelines, video evidence, and suspect backgrounds—and present them directly to law enforcement. We stay involved through the warrant, arrest, and prosecution process to ensure follow-through and accountability.

Organized Retail Crime (ORC) Investigations

We investigate ORC groups by connecting theft patterns across multiple stores, identifying fencing operations, and tracking suspects through digital platforms. Our intelligence-driven approach helps build cases that meet the threshold for felony charges and coordinated law enforcement action.
