Unless you are very familiar with Kentucky private investigation work, you’ll be putting yourself in grave danger if you try to do your
own private investigation. The reason for this is that you are unlikely to know the art of surveillance or counter-surveillance and are
therefore more likely to blow your cover early in the investigation. This exposure could very well lead to greater danger for you
when the subject you are trying to follow realizes your presence, especially if the person has criminal experience.    
It is far more sensible for you to hire the services of a private investigator that has been specially-trained in the art of undercover
and surveillance work. In all likelihood, he or she is in a position and has sufficient experience and resources to go undetected
throughout the whole investigation process – something that will be quite impossible for you to achieve.

2. Skill.
Although the role of a private investigator may look very simple on television, in fact it is an art form that requires dedication and
training. Most private investigators these days have skills beyond simply following a car and taking photographs.  
Among other things, today’s private investigators need to know how to use overt and covert cameras to their best advantage, how
to install and download GPS tracking devices, how to use trace mail systems, how to use the Internet to obtain information, and
how to undertake both threat assessments and risk management profiles.
What’s more, even the usage of surveillance vehicles and driving is a well-honed art form that is far more complicated than the
average person could imagine. A professional
Kentucky investigator is not only constantly aware of the subject’s every move, but
he must also be in a position to use his experience to anticipate likely or possible movements. He must constantly think many
steps ahead and be versatile enough to not only change clothing and appearances during the course of surveillance, but also
vehicles.
A true professional will continually undergo courses that keep his skill sets sharp and current. The better companies ensure that
their personnel attend counter surveillance courses, evasive driving courses on professional race tracks, training on how to best
install tracking devices and covert cameras on vehicles, etc.  

3. Investigation.
Investigation work is not merely about asking a load of questions – although interviewing is a very important skill. More important
is the manner in which the investigator asks those questions – making use of probing techniques or asking open-ended
questions which will provide leads and answers. Many of today’s investigations involve the precise art of forensic accounting –
meticulously following a paper trail and discovering the various stages that a fraudulent transaction has taken. That trail is then
followed carefully back to its author or originator. In this way, a business owner who was the victim of a dishonest employee can
discover the amount of loss to his company, and with the help of a professional
KY investigator can build a case against that
person and seek either a criminal prosecution or civil remedy.       
Finally, even verbal investigation skills are honed.  For example, private investigators know the exact questions to ask a person,
and the optimal way to phrase the questions to obtain the necessary information.           

4. Technology.
A huge amount of investigation work involves very specialized and considerably expensive equipment. Unless you are a techno-
enthusiast, it is unlikely that you have either the equipment itself or the knowledge to use the equipment. As a result, you’ll either
not use the technology, or at least not use it to its maximum potential.  
A private investigator, on the other hand, likely has first-hand experience on how to use this technology for maximum benefit.

5. The Charisma of Experience.
When all else fails, private investigators have the charisma of experience on their side. They’re likely to know when they hear lies,
when they are going down the wrong track, and how to handle themselves if their cover is blown and they are detected. You, on
the other hand, are unlikely to know any of these tactics, which will result in you not only potentially wasting a lot of time tracking
down dead end leads, but also running the risk of getting hurt in the process. Good investigators have a lot of tricks up their
sleeves to help them get out of difficult, or even dangerous, situations while delivering results.
investigator may be reached, the subject will be given an untraceable phone number that, when dialed, always gives a busy
signal.     
Another huge advantage that private investigators have is their professional credentials.  Since considerable time is spent sitting
in vehicles watching subjects and recording videos of their movements, neighbors and concerned citizens regularly call the
police to check out the “suspicious” behavior of the investigator. If an investigator has the time to call ahead to the police district
involved (giving a description of his vehicle and full particulars about himself and/or his company), the police will advise the
concerned citizen that they are aware of the vehicle and that it is on “official business”.
Even if time does not permit the investigator to plan ahead and make the call, once a responding police officer is shown the
investigator’s State-issued professional ID card, the officer will be satisfied that the investigator is engaged in an official capacity.
However, the same professional courtesy will not be afforded to the makeshift detective who decides to take on the project
without any professional training or credentials.       

6. Knowing the Law and Abiding by the Rules.
Unlike you, the do-it-yourself private investigator, a professional investigator is going to know the law and the proper way to gather
evidence for possible court proceedings. In light of this, the private investigator will never take the risk of losing evidence or
running afoul of the court evidence rules. You, on the other hand, are unlikely to know these procedures.
For example, in the Commonwealth of Virginia, a spouse or significant other can call the police and have his or her partner
arrested for stalking if it is discovered that they are being following by that person (surveillance). The police and properly-
registered private investigators are the only persons exempt and allowed to follow individuals and record their movements.
Clients often make the mistake of thinking that they can follow their husbands/boyfriends/wives/girlfriends and use this
information in subsequent court testimony. Since the evidence was obtained in an illegal manner, it will not be allowed in court.
Another common misconception, well known to the professional investigator but seldom known to clients, is the area of taping
conversations. Many clients think that they can hide a recorder or “tap a phone line” and then use the information they obtain in a
court proceeding. If you live in a “two-party” State, both parties involved in that phone conversation must consent to having it taped.
If, on the other hand, you live in a “one-party” State such as Virginia, it is only necessary to have the consent of one of the parties
involved. This means that if an investigator is talking to an individual and that individual admits to a wrong doing, or boasts about
it to an undercover investigator, that investigator is legally able to record the conversation on a hidden recorder and use this
evidence later in a court of law.          

7. Time/Evidence.
Finally, any surveillance procedure undertaken by a private investigator is usually very time-consuming. Assuming that you have to
work as well as carry on your do-it-yourself private investigation duties, it is very likely you are not going to have sufficient time to
adequately handle all of your obligations. In this case, you’ll have to spend a lot of your own time on a project, only to find out that it
was completely wasted if none of the evidence is admissible in court. Worse still, you may inadvertently overstep the line and find
yourself in trouble with the authorities. The last thing you want to happen is to go from being the innocent victim to being the
defendant. The money that you may be forced to pay an attorney to represent you to undo the damage could have been far better
invested in the services of a professional investigator who earns a living by conducting work like that every day for many different
clients.
So, when it comes to detective work, don’t try to do it yourself. Instead, hire a professional private investigator and sit in the
comfort of your chair while you read the investigator’s report and watch the covert video without the concerns of you getting hurt or
losing the prey

investigators offer many services, including executive, corporate, and celebrity protection; preemployment verification; and
individual background profiles. Some investigate computer crimes, such as identity theft, harassing e-mails, and illegal
downloading of copyrighted material. They also provide assistance in criminal and civil liability cases, insurance claims and fraud
cases, child custody and protection cases, missing-persons cases, and premarital screening. They are sometimes hired to
investigate individuals to prove or disprove infidelity.

Louisville Kentucky Private Investigators
KY Private detectives and investigators may use many methods to determine the facts in a case. Much of their work is done with a
computer. For example, they often recover deleted e-mails and documents. They also may perform computer database searches
or work with someone who does. Computers allow investigators to quickly obtain huge amounts of information, such as records
of a subject's prior arrests, convictions, and civil legal judgments; telephone numbers; information about motor vehicle
registrations; records of association and club memberships; social networking site details; and even photographs.
facts, such as an individual's income or place of employment, they may make phone calls or visit a subject's workplace. In other
cases, Lexington KY InvestigatorKentucky Detectives and investigators also perform various other types of surveillance or
searches. To verify especially those involving missing persons and background checks, investigators interview people to gather
as much information as possible about an individual. Sometimes investigators go undercover, pretending to be someone else in
order to get information or to observe a subject inconspicuously. They even arrange to be hired in businesses to observe workers
for wrongdoing.
Most detectives and investigators are trained to perform physical surveillance, which may be high tech or low tech. They may
observe a site, such as the home of a subject, from an inconspicuous location or a vehicle. Using photographic and video
cameras, binoculars, cell phones, and GPS systems, detectives gather information on an individual. Surveillance can be time
consuming.
Lexington Kentucky private investigator  duties of private detectives and investigators depend on the needs of their clients. In
cases that involve fraudulent workers' compensation claims, for example, investigators may carry out long-term covert observation
of a person suspected of fraud. If an investigator observes the person performing an activity that contradicts injuries stated in a
worker's compensation claim, the investigator would take video or still photographs to document the activity and report it to the
client.
Louisville KY private investigator  and investigators must be mindful of the law in conducting investigations. They keep up with
Federal, State, and local legislation, such as privacy laws and other legal issues affecting their work. The legality of certain
methods may be unclear, and investigators and detectives must make judgment calls in deciding how to pursue a case. They
must also know how to collect evidence properly so that they do not compromise its admissibility in court.
Private detectives and investigators often specialize. Those who focus on intellectual property theft, for example, investigate and
document acts of piracy, help clients stop illegal activity, and provide intelligence for prosecution and civil action. Other
investigators specialize in developing financial profiles and carrying out asset searches. Their reports reflect information gathered
through interviews, investigation and surveillance, and research, including reviews of public documents.
Computer forensic investigators specialize in recovering, analyzing, and presenting data from computers for use in investigations
or as evidence. They determine the details of intrusions into computer systems, recover data from encrypted or erased files, and
recover e-mails and deleted passwords.
Louisville Kentucky private investigator  investigators assist in preparing criminal defenses, locating witnesses, serving legal
documents, interviewing police and prospective witnesses, and gathering and reviewing evidence. Legal investigators also may
collect information on the parties to a litigation, take photographs, testify in court, and assemble evidence and reports for trials.
They often work for law firms or lawyers.
Corporate investigators conduct internal and external investigations for corporations. In internal investigations, they may
investigate drug use in the workplace, ensure that expense accounts are not abused, or determine whether employees are
stealing assets, merchandise, or information. External investigations attempt to thwart criminal schemes from outside the
corporation, such as fraudulent billing by a supplier. Investigators may spend months posing as employees of the company in
order to find misconduct.
Financial investigators may be hired to develop confidential financial profiles of individuals or companies that are prospective
parties to large financial transactions. These investigators often are certified public accountants (CPAs) who work closely with
fraud or theft cases.
Detectives who work for retail stores or hotels are responsible for controlling losses and protecting assets. Store detectives, also
known asloss prevention agents, safeguard the assets of retail stores by apprehending anyone attempting to steal merchandise
or destroy store property. They prevent theft by shoplifters, vendor representatives, delivery personnel, and store employees. Store
detectives also conduct periodic inspections of stock areas, dressing rooms, and rest rooms, and sometimes assist in opening
and closing the store. They may prepare loss prevention and security reports for management and testify in court against people
they apprehend. Hotel detectives protect guests of the establishment from theft of their belongings and preserve order in hotel
restaurants and bars. They also may keep undesirable individuals, such as known thieves, off the premises.
Work environment. Many detectives and investigators spend time away from their offices conducting interviews or doing
surveillance, but some work in the office most of the day conducting computer searches and making phone calls. When an
investigator is working on a case, the environment might range from plush board
rooms to seedy bars. Store and hotel detectives
work in the businesses that they protect.
Investigators generally work alone, but they sometimes work with others, especially during surveillance or when they follow a
subject. Some of the work involves confrontation, so the job can be stressful and dangerous. Some situations, such as certain
bodyguard assignments for corporate or celebrity clients, call for the investigator to be armed. In most cases, however, a weapon
is not necessary, because the purpose of the work is gathering information and not law enforcement or criminal apprehension.
Owners of investigative agencies have the added stress of having to deal with demanding and sometimes distraught clients.
Although considered a dangerous occupation, private detectives and investigators have a relatively low incidence of nonfatal
work-related injuries.
Louisville Kentucky Private detectives and investigators often work irregular hours because of the need to conduct surveillance
and contact people who are not available during normal working hours. Early morning, evening, weekend, and holiday work is
common. (This information was provided by the US dept. of labor.)
