Investigation and Surveillance – Why hire an investigator?

First of all, let’s be clear from the onset: Private Investigators, PIs, Private Detectives or Private Inquiry Agents, as they are called in some states, have no special powers. What they do have, however, is a wealth of experience in all manner of industries and activities. They also have a comprehensive set of investigation and surveillance tools and databases not readily available to the general public. Combine these tools and the SWA’s team’s experience and you have a valuable investigation resource at your service.

We operate privately and discreetly

SWA’s clients can be assured of total confidentiality. All our investigators are fully trained and aware of current privacy legislation. Rest assured, they operate under a strict code of conduct.
This year we’ve been involved in a huge range of investigation and surveillance work. From from pigeon racing fraud, to stolen French furniture, and dating scams. Through to the identification of complex webs of phoenix companies that have led us around the world.

So why hire an investigator? Because you either need to know, or you want to stop something from getting worse.

Investigation and surveillance mean gathering factual information or undertaking surveillance for clients.

Our factual investigators have diverse financial, legal and law enforcement backgrounds. They listen carefully to client’s instructions and seek specific factual information. This information assists clients to make sound commercial decisions. It’s vital to know how a claim or situation is to proceed or be settled.

SWA’s objective is to provide clients with the facts. Whether they are positive or negative. This facilitates these important decisions. We can provide both female and male investigators to suit your specific requirements.

SWA’s experienced surveillance operatives use the latest digital video technology to provide factual evidence. This is used to test the veracity of insurance claims and/or other matters which require video or photographic evidence.

We have a team of investigators operating across Australia. Areas include; NSW, Queensland, ACT, Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia and NT.
