The True Nature of Investigations
The first step in determining if your particular situation requires the services of a
private investigator (or
detective)
is to first manage expectations of what exactly a private investigator
(or detective) can do for a client as a service provider.
As an aid to help our clients better understand the nature of the
Private Detective industry,
the processes by which we work, and the regulations by which we are
governed, we have prepared this FAQ page so you may have more realistic
expectations regarding the work
Webcognita of
Yuma,
Arizona will conduct on your behalf.
1.
We have no more authority than does a private citizen. We are not
police officers.
The training, testing, background checks, and certification process we
go through in order to obtain our licenses is meant to set us apart as
individuals who are committed to unbiased professionalism. As such, we
are bound to rigid codes of conduct dictated by the State of Arizona
and California.
2.
Similarly, we are not attorneys.
Though we are very knowledgeable of the laws governing our actions, any
advice we give concerning the direction of your case is merely a
suggestion that should be approved by any legal representative you may
have.
3.
We are not magicians.
Ours is an industry revolving around detail gathered through available
information, the understanding of this detail, and the working
knowledge of how to follow the trails we uncover. This detailed
information is generated through diligence and knowing where to look.
Just as librarians are not geniuses, they simply are trained on where
and how to find the information.
4.
Sometimes the information generated is contrary to what the client hopes to find.
We cannot guarantee results. We can only guarantee that the necessary
information, documentation, etc. will be searched for diligently,
legally, expediently, and as economically as possible.
5.
If surveillance
is necessary we feel obligated to inform you of the “real life
caveats.” Surveillance, especially moving surveillance, is a hit and
miss science. We can perform these observations under
agreed upon time and location parameters but cannot promise activity on
behalf of the subject. Similarly, moving surveillance carries with it
inherent obstacles such as the unpredictable nature of traffic. There
is no guarantee that contact with the subject can be maintained as we
cannot predict traffic flow, traffic conditions, weather, or other
unforeseen problems. As in number one above, we have no more authority
than an ordinary citizen. This includes traffic laws.
6.
Webcognita
can, however, make a promise that most of the other agencies can’t.
That is, that we will do everything in our power to reach the goal of
obtaining the information you need in a timely and economical fashion
and conduct ourselves in a professional and discrete manner while
representing you in your case.
