Professional Surveillance Services Across Ireland

Effective surveillance depends on careful preparation, patience and professional judgement. Profile Investigations plans each assignment around the client’s objective, the available information and the realities of the location and timing.

When this service may help

A professional investigation should have a clear, legitimate purpose. The first conversation helps determine whether the requested work is appropriate and likely to provide useful information.

  • Independent observation is needed to establish relevant facts
  • A claim or account requires discreet verification
  • Patterns of activity need to be documented
  • A sensitive personal or commercial concern requires care
  • The client needs professional, clearly communicated observations
