Introduction to Private Investigations: The Basics and Importance

Private investigations are a crucial service that helps individuals, businesses, and legal professionals gather information, uncover the truth, and resolve various issues. A private investigator (PI) is a professional hired to conduct inquiries and collect evidence in a discreet and confidential manner. Unlike law enforcement officers, private investigators operate independently, offering their expertise to clients who require specialized investigation services.

Nashville Bomber – Who’s to Blame?

14 miles away from the RV packed with explosives, and I felt it. It shook my house. Within 10 minutes the news broke of an “accidental explosion.” I knew better, but my phone began to ding with messages. It wasn’t “Merry Christmas.” It was, “An RV pulled up blaring music, had a countdown, then a bomb went off.” Christmas was ruined for Nashville! It was stolen by Anthony Quinn Warner who perished in his selfish act. Who’s to blame? Click on the Tennesseean & USA Today article to find out what Robert Young of Covert Results had to say!

Knowledge is Power

The database we, at Covert Results, utilize the most is TLO by TransUnion. Many of our investigators are retired police officers. This was a database they used and were familiar with while on the department. Covert Results prefers this site to others since TLO is a trusted source and only available to police officers and LICENSED Investigators.

Armed Guard Training

This week Covert Results had the opportunity to teach at Tennessee Gun Country located at 1435 Fort Campbell Blvd. Clarksville, TN 37042. Our Clarksville Investigator, Bo Rice, arranged the two day course to ensure these students get the proper training on being an armed security officer. Covert Results goes beyond the typical powerpoints by posing real life scenarios. These scenarios are situations the instructors have faced while on the police department and in the security industry. The instructors also spend additional time on reviewing all the pertinent laws pertaining to security officers.

Exposing Employees

Most of the time when we’re called to conduct surveillance, it means we need to actively watch where someone is going. Usually, we document what locations they go to, who lives there or if they go to a restaurant/bar, or if they’re meeting someone they shouldn’t. Since the pandemic has started we have had a surplus of calls wanting to make sure people are staying put. Many companies have contacted private investigators to ensure their employees are staying home and working. There have been multiple occasions where off-site employees are out and about rather than doing the job they were hired to do. Covert Results has experts in surveillance to let you know if your employees are doing the work.

Better Background Checks

Things are starting to open back up. There will be new jobs, new opportunities and a chance for the economy to start to build back. New faces will start to appear in response to your job postings. The process for these applications will need to begin by assessing qualifications and seeing what type of person is in your office. Background checks should be done every time a new hire is considered. But, how are your background checks being  administered? What information is truly being gathered by your system in place? Many people don’t put references down that would speak poorly of them, and former employers can only verify employment. What information is truly being gathered? Covert Results has done the research and has firsthand experience on how to administer a quality background check.

Expert Witness Testimony

When preparing for trial there are some essential steps each attorney should take. Making sure your client is ready, putting together your trial materials, and most importantly making sure you have your witnesses prepared. A vital part of trial can be your expert witness. Covert Results has the ability to testify in court on an array of subjects and become an asset to your case.

Be Proactive Not Reactive

Did you see the latest story on the break-in story in Nashville? Suspects are on the loose after breaking into Bass Pro Shop at Opry Mills. They stole what was described as a ‘small arsenal’ according to Fox 17 Nashville News. It appeared they threw a blunt object through the front door to gain access. The suspects entered the massive outdoor store and went directly for what they wanted; the firearms.

DNA or Private I

Think back to your first basic biology class. Aside from still being able to recall the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell, I’m sure you don’t remember the class over DNA. Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) is the genetic code that makes up the characteristics of a living thing. What if I told you it’s possible that unique information could be used against you. Covert Results has done some research regarding the genealogy testing and the government getting this information.
