Because every investigation and case is unique to a certain extent, it’s essential that you work with experienced private investigators that have extensive field experience, which gives them the knowledge to carry out a wide range of investigations, which is absolutely necessary, in order to provide clients with exactly what is needed in each specific case.

Without this in-depth experience that covers every investigative technique, ranging from investigating theft in a company to finding proof of infidelity, as well as extensive experience in undercover surveillance, you won’t be able to trust the quality of the evidence presented to you at the conclusion of an investigation.

With the advent of the internet, many more avenues have opened for those with criminal intentions, resulting in the fact that any private investigator has to be up to date with state of the art technology, in order to close the gap on these criminals.

A professional private investigator is expected to remain updated and clued in on the latest technology as soon as it hits the airwaves, ensuring that this technology can be used to the benefit of the client in an ever-evolving technological age.

Infidelity has also taken on a different character and behaviour with mobile phones, social media platforms and email opening up doors to online affairs, which are simply one step away from becoming the real thing.

The growth of technology has also increased the incidence in fraud and other white collar crimes, bleeding many companies of millions of Rands every year. These days hiding the truth is easy, if the person or syndicate behind it is well-versed with technology, combining technology with deceit, to present something as basic as a CV that represents anything but the truth!

The types of cases mentioned above are just the tip of the iceberg in terms of why it’s essential that a private investigator has wide ranging experience in many different situations. This is why it’s important to establish whether the investigator you plan on hiring has this extensive experience, because without it, you will be doing yourself a disservice in trusting him with your investigation.

A few examples of investigative services offered by private investigators

Cheating, affairs & infidelity

When a case involves a cheating spouse, boyfriend or girlfriend, it may help you to know that these are among the most common investigations undertaken by private investigators in South Africa.

Because hiring a private investigator to provide you with proof of infidelity is difficult, it’s worth looking for an investigator that has experience with investigations into infidelity or cheating, so that you can be confident that your case will be handled with sensitivity, confidentiality and honesty.

Business intelligence services

Because white collar crime and fraud is on the increase in business, many businesses have made the investment in forming a trusted working relationship with a private investigator they have chosen to keep their business safe, all of which is based on the level of trust and honesty the private investigator of their choice displays.

With a wealth of experience under the belt, the right private investigator is able to provide investigative services that cover every crime, from embezzlement to product theft, theft of company secrets to theft of client databases.

Tracing missing people

It’s best that you hire a local private investigator if you want to trace a missing person. The main reason for this is that he needs to have a good knowledge of customs in South Africa, and he also has to have his ear to the ground while knowing the general lay of the land like the back of his hand.

If you don’t even know where to start, trying to trace a missing person is nigh on impossible for the average man in the street. However, by hiring a private investigator and arming him with all the information you have at hand about the person you’re trying to find, you’ll stand a far greater chance of a successful conclusion to the investigation.

Undercover surveillance

Undercover surveillance plays a vital role in the majority of investigations, which calls for a professional who has the training and experience on the ground to undertake surveillance without the subject under investigation being any the wiser, no matter what the circumstances are. Experience here is essential, as undercover surveillance can be dangerous, both to the investigator and the client if they are found out.

In-depth background investigations

Private individuals don’t have access to the networks and sources a private investigator can use to do any kind of in-depth background check, whether it’s to protect yourself when hiring new staff, planning a new business venture or facing an acrimonious divorce.

You’d be best served by allowing a professional to gather the information and evidence you need, than to tackle any of these issues on your own.

Polygraph services

There are times when only a lie detector test or polygraph test will help to arrive at the truth of any situation, especially when it’s a case of ‘he said, she said’.  Polygraph tests or voice stress analysis tests have to be administered by an experienced professional, by law, especially if they are to carry any weight in a hearing or in court.

Due diligence services

When high level executives are making plans to invest in a new business venture, or to take on a new partner, a comprehensive due diligence investigation carried out by an experienced investigator will ensure that when final decisions are made, they will be done so on a fully informed basis.

A private investigator with a high level of professionalism could well be all that stands between you and a successful court case, which is why it’s essential for you do your homework and a bit of digging before committing to a particular investigator.

In general, most people who have decided to hire a private investigator for the first time have a personal set of preconceived ideas about the industry as a whole, much of which is could be negative, based mainly on the seedy PI’s we’ve been exposed to in film and television.

Not all private investigators are the sleazy, dishonest type that are often depicted in movies, but they certainly do exist, and it’s important that you make sure you’re dealing with one that’s licensed and has a good reputation.

There are many highly experienced professional private investigators in South Africa who value integrity and honesty as the basis for every case they investigate, and its guys like this you want on your side.

Before you sign on the dotted line and commit to any private investigator in Pretoria or Johannesburg, make sure you find out as much as you can about him. Should you choose the wrong one, you could end up with money wasted and evidence not worth anything legally!

Simple tips to help you choose the right professional private investigator:

Experience

The need for experience in your investigator can’t be over-emphasised. He has to be able to adapt to a wide ranging spectrum of investigations to be of any real service to you. Only many years’ worth of experience in the industry can bring assurance to you that your PI will have the wealth of knowledge required to cover all aspects of your specific case.

Reputation

You have every right to find out more about what previous clients have to say about an investigator you are planning to hire, which is why it’s important to ask for references from clients about how the investigator has handled their cases.

If he tries to avoid giving you references then you’re definitely in the wrong place!

Transparency about costs

During your first meeting with the investigator, you should be able to get a good idea of what the investigation could cost, but, this will only be the case if he is someone who is committed to undertaking the investigation in the most cost effective way possible.

An investigator who values his reputation and integrity isn’t going to pad the bill for your investigation with unnecessary or frivolous costs. He’ll also make sure that should additional costs crop up during the course of the investigation, he will discuss it with you before going ahead.

Guarantees

While no investigator can guarantee you’ll happy about the results you get from an investigation, none of us enjoy proof of dishonesty, crime or infidelity, what he can and should do, is to be able to guarantee that you will be satisfied with the integrity of the evidence presented at the conclusion of the investigation.

In effect, what he’s guaranteeing is that the evidence that’ll be presented to you will be honest, and able to stand up to scrutiny in court.

Privacy & confidentiality

None of us would want to announce to the world that we need to hire a private investigator, no matter the reason.  The fact is that the very nature of this course of action is that it’s private, which means you need to know that your private investigator values your privacy, and will keep any and all information confidential, before, during and after the investigation.

Is he PSIRA registered?

There is a code of conduct governing all private investigators in South Africa and the manner in which they’re allowed to gather evidence. Being registered with the PSIRA assures you that you’ll be dealing with an investigator who is above board in all his dealings during an investigation.

PSIRA is actively involved in the investigation of any illegal practices in the industry, which also serves to keep safe from being exploited by unscrupulous investigators.

Check here to find out whether your private investigator is registered with PSIRA, in this way, you will be certain that you’re dealing with a professional who respects the governing rules of the industry.

Any compromise on these standards will compromise your case, leaving you out of pocket and holding evidence worth nothing in court.

King Investigators more than meet all the above criteria, and, in their pursuit of excellence, honesty and integrity, clients are given the confidence to trust this team with the most personal details needed to carry out an effective investigation.

Give owner Jacques Botha a call today to set up a free consultation before you make any decisions about who to trust with your investigation.

None of us can bear the heartache that words like infidelity, affair or cheating cause, however, if the uncertainty and suspicion is so profound that your relationship is in serious danger of falling apart, it would be best that you hire a professional private investigator to find evidence the right way, instead of living on tenterhooks of suspicion.

The mere thought infidelity on the part of your spouse is enough to play havoc with emotions, and, in this state we aren’t able to think straight enough to attempt to tackle evidence on our own, without becoming embroiled in possibly emotionally volatile situations.

Should you decide that you want proof that your spouse is cheating for a divorce case, only a private investigator, with knowledge of the legal system, can gather the evidence according to standards expected by the courts.

King Investigators in Pretoria have handled thousands of cases involving cheating spouses, in fact, this team is known as the number one cheating spouse detectives in South Africa, leaving no stone unturned on their way to the truth, whatever it may be.

You may simply want to confirm or allay any suspicions you may have before you start divorce proceedings or end a relationship based merely on suspicion. Not all changes in your spouse indicate that he or she is cheating on you!

Why hire a private investigator to prove infidelity?

He has the necessary objectivity

A private investigator brings objectivity to a highly emotionally charged situation by providing real evidence of cheating before you decide on the next step in the relationship, whether to end it or to try and repair it.

Along with time-stamped photos and videos, the private investigator should be able to support this evidence with a written report that details events not caught on camera.

What does a private investigator do to find evidence of infidelity?

Because there are laws that govern private investigators and the way they are permitted to gather evidence of infidelity, if these laws are flouted, the evidence will be of no value.

An experienced, licensed private investigator will know exactly how to go about collecting evidence the right way, in order not to compromise your case with manufactured evidence.

Only a private investigator who knows the lay of the land and local customs will be able to carry out effective undercover surveillance without being exposed, which is very important, not only for the investigator but also for the client.

Book a confidential consultation with King Investigators

On the road to finding proof of infidelity, you’ll want to make a call or book a confidential consultation with Jacques Botha at King Investigators in Pretoria, at which time you’ll be able to discuss the manner in which you’d like the investigation to proceed.

At this meeting you’ll also need to give the investigator as much information as possible on your spouse, focussing on routines and habits that would be of assistance in deciding on the investigative approach to be taken once the ball is rolling.

This will also be the perfect time to discuss your budget and what you’d be looking at in terms of charges for the investigation, which can be tailored accordingly.  You’ll also be able to get a basic idea of how long the investigation may take, depending on the extent of evidence you may require.

The team at King Investigators, led by owner Jacques Botha, will guide you through these uncharted waters with the sensitivity you may well need for the duration, and, at the end of it all, you will have honest results delivered without wasting your time or money!

Whether it’s obtaining evidence to support a parent in a custody case, evidence of cheating or insurance fraud, the go-to tool for private investigators in many of these instances is undercover surveillance.

Many businesses hire private investigators to carry out undercover surveillance on their behalf if they’re experiencing theft of goods or misappropriation of funds.

While the reasons for undercover surveillance may vary, the one essential component to its success or failure is the absolute necessity for on the ground experience on the part of the investigator.

Undercover surveillance is designed to be able to observe people without being noticed, a situation that could cause harm to both the investigator and the client. In addition to undercover surveillance, the use of state of the art technology enhances surveillance and the gathering of vital evidence today, in virtually every investigation..

Undercover surveillance in the digital age

In an ever-evolving age of technology, tools such as high tech digital video cameras offering high definition images are used to facilitate even greater undercover surveillance capabilities, bringing to the field cameras that are able to store large amounts of footage without interruption.

Every video and image is time-stamped, and, with extended battery life and zoom capabilities, these images and videos are used to back up evidence that can be in no doubt. The long battery life on these high tech cameras also means that the investigator can stay on the case longer than ever before.

Cell phones have come into their own as surveillance tools that can be used inconspicuously on a stakeout, especially due to the fact that other people around the investigator undercover are also busy on their phones, whether on calls or taking photos. This is a tool an investigator can use easily, without attracting any attention at all.

Cell phones serve investigators especially well if there are times when a video camera is too big to take on a specific part of the investigation, especially if footage is being shot in a public place like a restaurant, hotel or other public places.

Micro cameras also come in extremely handy in public too, ensuring that the investigator’s cover isn’t blown. Micro cameras are very versatile and can be disguised as anything from a Bluetooth headset to a tie clip or button. This makes sure that the subject under surveillance is none the wiser of the presence of the investigator.

Generally, a nondescript car will be used while tracking a subject, however, GPS trackers are also sometimes used by to keep track of the movements of someone under surveillance a private investigator may be able to use under certain circumstances.

One needs to note here that there are still some legal issues that need to be ironed out when it comes to using GPS trackers as a form of surveillance. In most cases, the permission of the vehicle owner is required, which would negate their use in some instances, except perhaps in an infidelity case and the spouse has the legal right to grant permission to attach a GPS tracker to a vehicle registered in their name.

King Investigators in Pretoria have earned an exceptional reputation for undercover surveillance, having added up an impressive amount of surveillance hours over the ten years plus since this team first hung out their shingle.

If you have a case that’s going to require the services of an undercover surveillance expert, please contact King Investigators to book a free confidential consultation to lay the groundwork for your investigation.

Despite the fact that a professional investigative company like King Investigators in Pretoria is able to provide business intelligence and due diligence investigations for companies, they are also a highly effective and experienced team at tackling investigations for individuals in their private capacity.

While the reasons individuals choose to hire a private investigator vary greatly, the bottom line is that they require the services of a consummate professional to gather incontrovertible evidence in personal matters, the bulk of which often end up in court.

Uncovering well-hidden information and carrying out undercover surveillance takes real experience and a high level of skill, which is why you’d be best served by hiring a private investigator with an impeccable reputation, to provide you with the evidence you require in a specific case.

Let’s look at 4 top reasons private individuals will hire a private investigator:

Divorce & infidelity

Unfortunately, infidelity and divorce often go hand in hand, and, if suspicion becomes something tangible in terms of a change in the status quo of the relationship or the spouse, and divorce is inevitable, then its best that a professional private investigator be hired to provide the quality of evidence that can be used in court.

Anything less will be of no value once lawyers start tearing evidence apart.

A private investigator is by definition expected to be discreet, not only about his client but also about following the subject of an investigation, without having their cover blown.

A professional investigator also knows the dos and don’ts of gathering evidence out in the field, which is essential if all evidence gathered is done according to strict industry standards.

Other reasons a private investigator may be involved in divorce cases is to gather evidence of any substance or alcohol abuse, or any other illegal activities the subject is involved in, which may lead to supporting the petitioning client in court during a divorce case.

Child custody, visitation rights & child abuse

Whether or not children are in danger with one or the other parent, the right to custody becomes a battleground in many cases, making it a highly contentious and emotional issue leading up to the actual court case.

This is an issue that especially cuts to the core for any genuinely loving and responsible parent who wants to give their child the best in painful circumstances.

Should there be suspicion that there is any negligence or abuse taking place when a child is with either parent, valid evidence of a quality that cannot be disputed needs to be gathered by a professional, to lend weight to the battle for a child’s safety in a custody case.

Custody arrangements are there to be observed for the protection and safety of the child. This is of paramount importance to the court, and if any part of the arrangement is being compromised to the detriment of the child, the welfare of that child will be placed above all else, with custody arrangements going back to court, to be amended according to evidence provided to back up these claims.

General family issues

The world we raise our children in today is a lot more frightening than ever before, and, when parents are concerned about whether or not their children are involved in dangerous behaviour or substance abuse they may consider hiring a private investigator to get to the truth.

From evidence presented, parents and other family members are able to intervene, if necessary, to protect their children from further danger.

Private investigators are also called on to investigate whether or not a spouse is involved in gambling, drug use or other illegal activities, in order to put paid to suspicions.

Domestic abuse victims

At best, it’s very difficult to prove that someone is a victim of domestic abuse without the aid of a professional investigator. The simple reason for this is that the investigator is trained to focus on the most important aspects of the abuse and can advise the victim on how to keep their own records of the abuse for the duration of the investigation.

The evidence that a private investigator is able to uncover in the course of a domestic abuse case is of great value where it comes to seeking protective orders, divorce or child custody cases.

The families of those abused often hire a private investigator to gather as much evidence as possible to allay or confirm their suspicions before any action is taken to protect the family member being abused.

Hire the top private investigators in Pretoria

The team of licensed investigators at King Investigators bring a wealth of skill, experience and professionalism to any investigation, which is what ultimately leads to evidence that’s delivered with complete transparency and integrity.

Contact this team today if you’ve reached the point where you need the advice of a trusted professional, at the very least, you’ll be able make an informed decision with regards to the way forward.

 

The most important things you need to expect from a private investigator you decide to hire, are that they’ll handle your case in absolute confidentiality, maintain a high standard of professionalism, and deliver evidence that is strong enough to be used in court and stand up to scrutiny.

Though you’ll find many private investigators listed in Pretoria and Johannesburg, you may need to do a little digging on your end to find out if they meet the criteria needed to instill trust in you before you hire them.

Asking your attorney to refer you to a private investigator is a solid place to start, since most attorneys work hand in glove with private investigators in many of their own cases, ensuring that evidence collected is done so legally.

Taking the time to do a background check on any private investigator may be want to hire could well protect you from dealing with a shady, fly-by-night investigator who cares little for the rules, which is an attitude to evidence gathering that’ll compromise your case from the outset.

Make the wrong decision and end up with evidence gathered in contravention of the legislation governing private investigators, and not  only will you be making an expensive mistake, you could also land in hot water with the legal system.

Here are a few things to consider before hiring a private investigator

Is he licensed & registered with PSiRA?

It can be daunting to approach a private investigator for the first time, however, knowing what to be on the lookout for at the outset will make a big difference to narrowing down the list of investigators you may wish to bookmark in your search.

If a private investigator isn’t registered with PSIRA, give him a definite miss!  This is the best way to ensure that you’ll be dealing with an experienced professional who understands and complies with the code of conduct set out for their industry. This governing body is also there to protect you should any problems arise with the investigator or investigation.

What’s his background?

It’s to check the background of investigators you may consider hiring. Knowing how long he’s been in the field will give you a good indication of the level of experience he’ll be able to bring to your case.

It’s also essential to establish whether he has experience in handling cases similar to yours, which is a good way of gauging whether he is able to handle the specific field of investigation your case entails or not.

Being able to make an appointment for a free consultation is a great way to get a feel for the investigator as well as to assess his communication skills. It’s important that the investigator is able to communicate on all levels due to the fact that investigations often take him into situations that will require this ability.

Can he provide you with references?

You have every right to ask private investigators for references from previous clients, as well as from attorneys he may have been involved with, if possible.  It’s always a good idea to have recommendations from professionals included with those of private individuals.  Make sure you ask the investigator for references from clients who’ve had cases that are similar in kind to yours.

King Investigators in Pretoria and Johannesburg meet the above criteria in full, and even beyond these, acting with the high level of professionalism, honesty and integrity that you should expect from any investigator worth his salt!

Contact owner Jacques Botha to make an appointment to meet, have a confidential chat online or call him, to find out more about whether he and his team of highly trained investigators are ready to tackle your case.

If you need a private investigator to handle an investigation in South Africa, it’s very important that you hire one that knows everything about the lay of the land and the country like the back of his hand.

This means that the investigator has to know the customs of a multi-cultured nation, what they do and where they go, which would be nigh on impossible for any investigator arriving from overseas.

An investigation in a major city like Pretoria for instance, is going to be completely different to that of one carried out in a small ‘dorp’, as small towns are called in SA.

In a big city an investigator who knows everything about local hangouts, shopping malls and even some of the more dangerous areas, will be able to remain undetected and invisible to anyone they’re investigating, which is essential.

Carrying out an investigation in a small town is a lot more complex if the investigator doesn’t understand the culture and the people living there. Blending in is definitely going to call for extensive on the ground experience so as not to stick out like the proverbial sore thumb.

These are qualities you should be looking for when hiring a private investigator in South Africa.

King Investigators in Pretoria and Johannesburg is one of these exceptional companies able to deliver this level of versatility and professionalism. In over ten years in the field, this team has consistently produced results founded on great investigative work on the ground.

King Investigators is also considered the top choice for overseas investigators when they need local assistance in terms of undercover surveillance on people travelling to South Africa from abroad.

As an owner-managed business, King Investigators has reached across borders to carry out surveillance work on the ground in countries as far off the continent as Argentina and Brazil, and these have often been in the most dangerous situations.

This is proof that King Investigators not only excels on the ground in South Africa, but that the team is fully capable of carrying out their professional services overseas.

Crossing borders from South Africa and into other African countries such as Swaziland, Namibia, Mozambique and Lesotho is confirmation that Jacques Botha and his team of investigators are equally at home outside of South Africa as they are within her borders.

These local, international and Sub-Saharan investigations are far from being a walk in the park, since many have been high risk investigations that without experience and professionalism, could have resulted in failure and in dire consequences.

If challenging investigations like this aren’t handled with knowledge and experience, the investigator himself will be in danger, which would understandably also compromise the client, something these professionals won’t allow!

King Investigators is a full service company, offering a comprehensive list of investigative services in South Africa, which includes, but is not limited to:

Undercover Surveillance

In general, most of us don’t have the knowledge, experience or resources to begin an in-depth search for a missing person, which is why finding a professional investigator to do so is your best option. At best, we can resort to searching online and on social media platforms, but that’s about as far as we can go as private individuals

Why do people go missing?

It’s truly terrifying when friends or family members simply go missing, especially when there seems to be no apparent reason for their disappearance.

Among a variety of reasons that people go missing, are those who simply disappear because they aren’t coping with life, or those who are skipping out on criminal or civil court cases.

In some cases someone is abducted or has become a victim of a crime, especially if family and friends are absolutely certain that the person would never just disappear, which is something we are all to aware of in our crime-ridden society.

When children are abducted by a parent it’s devastating, however, with the help of a professional investigator, the odds of finding the child safely are a lot better.

In many cases, witnesses to crimes also need to be located in order to take a case to court successfully. There are also cases in which people have been left an inheritance and can’t be found, which is when a private investigator has to be called in to investigate all avenues to find the person, so the relevant estate can be wound up.

Often people also disappear when they owe large sums of money. So as you can see, the reasons anyone disappears are myriad, which means that as many investigative approaches will need to be used.

The police and missing person’s cases

The police services can only do so much where it comes to finding a missing person due to their already over-stretched resources as a result of exceptionally high crime rates. Though they will do the best they can to find someone, they can only give a missing persons case a limited amount of time before it becomes a cold case.

Private investigators and missing person’s cases

As registered and licensed professionals, private investigators have far more resources to trace missing people than we as individuals can, which is why you do need to make sure you have an experienced, well-connected professional to tackle the trace.

Ultimately, private investigators aren’t restricted by the same laws as the police, and although they may not overstep the boundaries of the law, they are able to go places the police aren’t allowed.

Here are a few examples of what a private investigator can do to trace missing people:

Undercover surveillance

Undercover surveillance gives the private detective the opportunity to visit places the missing person may have been or may still be at any given time, or to keep under surveillance anyone suspected of being involved in the disappearance of a missing person.

Finding debtors

As a result of the fact that private detectives aren’t bound by the same strict laws as the police services, they’re able to go into places no one else can in an effort to find a debtor that’s hiding out or on the run, and to bring them back to face the music.

Established networks

A well-established professional private investigator who has been in the field for many years will have built up an extensive network of investigators and other professionals in different capacities who can be brought on board to assist in the search for a missing person.  A private investigator is also able to pay informants for bona fide information, something which is not allowed for the police.

Whether you’re trying to find someone who owes you money, a friend you’ve lost contact with, a missing relative or a loved one, contact King Investigators in Pretoria and Johannesburg to help you trace those who are missing.

King Investigators will start off by asking you for as much information as possible about the person you want traced, in order to get started on doing what they do best: tracing missing people in South Africa and overseas!

There are a wide variety of reasons that drive people to hire a private investigator, which means that you’ll need the services of a seasoned professional who is able to carry out investigations across the board.

If this is the first time you’re considering hiring a private investigator, it can seem pretty intimidating, especially since you have no idea of what to expect going in.

You have to do your own investigation to make sure you’re dealing with a professional private investigations company that sticks to the rules and won’t jeopardize the investigation by using underhand or illegal tactics in order to trump up evidence.

Training and experience on the ground counts for a lot.  If the private detective you hire hasn’t been in the business for an extended period of time, you could possibly be heading in the wrong direction.

Don’t be shy to ask all the questions you need to, in order to make sure that you’ll have the best on your side. It’s your prerogative to dig as deep as you need to, before you trust someone to deliver the results you need in all honesty and with full disclosure.

IMPORTANT: The PI needs to have a working knowledge of the law so that, depending on the case, he will know how to obtain evidence legally that’ll be of a standard and quality required for a successful conclusion.

Let’s look at just one of the most common types of cases handled by private investigators in South Africa:

Infidelity

Once you’ve reached a point where you know that you’re being cheated on, you may decide to contact a cheating spouse detective who specialises in cases of infidelity, to discuss what your next step should be.

The best kind of private investigator will make this difficult initial meeting as easy as possible on you, and, if they’re worth their salt at all, they’ll handle the situation with the sensitivity you are really going to need during this difficult experience.

This is where you can discuss whether you need confirmation of infidelity for personal reasons or whether you need the evidence to take to court in the case of a divorce.

A professional private investigator will tailor the investigation to respect your requirements, and will also be completely up front when it comes to discussing costs.

You should also expect that the investigator will be available to you throughout the investigation, and will keep a clear channel of communication open with you.

The Investigation

If you choose to work with a well-established company like King Investigators in Johannesburg and Pretoria, you’ll know that everything they do to gather the evidence required will be completely within legal parameters.

Integrity, honesty and timeous results is their motto, and they’ve stuck by it through many years in the industry!

This is the only way to be absolutely sure that, should you require the evidence for a divorce or custody case, it’ll be rock solid.

Your will need to know as much as possible about the movements of your spouse, habits, usual hangouts etc. in order to follow your spouse to find out what the truth of their movements really are.

While undercover surveillance is best way to gather proof on a cheater, it can only be conducted in public areas, since any invasion of privacy and misrepresentation is out if you want evidence that’ll stand up in court.

The report in conclusion

At the conclusion of the investigation, King Investigators will provide you with the following, again according to your requirements:

• Time stamped photos
• Video proof
• Reports that will sum up any activity on the part of your spouse not included in photographic or video evidence

Why hire King Investigators?

They’re the best! They leave no stone unturned and go the full distance using state of the art technology combined with on the ground experience, and if anything, you can trust this team to handle your investigation with honesty and integrity.

When you need solid proof you can rely on, contact King Investigators in Gauteng and they’ll be ready to move at a moment’s notice!

 

King Investigators work to maintain close ties with attorneys in order to lay out plans that’ll give the investigator all the information an attorney needs to present a custody case in court, in favour of his client.

As a client having to face the difficulties that are attached to custody and visitation investigations, you’ll want to be absolutely sure that the private investigator you’ve hired will take professional responsibility for the investigation and the conclusions reached at the end of it.

This is because you need to rely on the quality of the evidence and trust that it has been collected according to the law.  Let there be no doubt, an unprofessional investigator with no scruples will compromise your case when it comes to court, where you’ll watch good money thrown out with useless evidence.

The law is complicated with regard to child custody cases, which is why the investigator also has to have a fundamental grasp of the law, and to work closely with the attorney, making sure that no extraneous evidence is collected that will be of no value once the case gets to court.

It’s unfortunate that child custody cases and visitation cases are among the most common cases that require the services of a private investigator, but, when a child is in any way at risk, the cold facts are what are necessary to protect him or her.

Emotions of all parties that have a stake in the decision of the courts run high in any custody battle, which is why there’s no room for mistakes on the part of the investigator, who is required to remain neutral during the investigation and to act with integrity for the duration.

In many custody cases it’s not only the parents who have a stake in the outcome of the court decision. Other family members also experience the sometimes devastating emotional impact of the whole process, which is something any private investigator will be sensitive to.

A private investigator with good communication skills and sensitivity is what you’ll need most while going through a painful experience involving your child.

It’s important that you know as much as possible about the private investigator you hire, to ensure that they’ll conduct their investigation in a way that remains in line with the code of conduct set out by the PSIRA (Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority).

If you look for a private investigator in Johannesburg or Pretoria, or anywhere else in South Africa, make sure they’re registered with PSIRA, if not, don’t even consider him.

Because the evidence and final report from the private investigator is going to be presented in court, you need to be very selective about who’ll be handing over the final report to your attorney.

Fictitious allegations won’t cut it in court, ever! By the time the attorney for the other side is through with the evidence and depositions of others involved in the case, this so-called evidence will be ripped apart and thrown out.

Remember, your spouse or partner will be using their own private detective, so it’s not worth trying to get one over on the court.

While the attorney will be conducting depositions of the main parties involved in this difficult and painful case, the private investigator will conduct interviews with those who play a lesser role, such as domestic workers, neighbours and even local shop assistants.

The periphery players serve to underpin the depositions of the main players and will include anyone coming into contact with the other party in the custody case, in order to complete the picture to be presented to the court.

Surveillance will also play an important role in compiling a comprehensive report that will include time stamped photos and videos. Any suspicion that a child is in any way endangered, abused or neglected will definitely come to light during the investigation.
