PI vs Lawyer

Covert Results investigations division attracts all walks of life. We go above and beyond to help every single client in every way possible. Many times we get a request to conduct an investigation and we always ask if the client is working directly with an attorney or lawyer on their case. A potential client does not have to have a lawyer to engage with our firm, but it is best to achieve your goal if the investigation is worked in tandem with a lawyer.

Protect Your Digital Footprint

Are people still masking up and running into a bank with a gun demanding money? The FBI leads the investigations on bank robberies and they have been tracking this crime since the 1930’s. Early data was based only on voluntary reports from police chiefs and high ranking officials of large cities. In 1948 there were only 53 bank robberies that were reported. Better data and higher reporting started about 1970 when the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reports reported just over 2,000. The number of US bank robberies peaked in 1991 when over 9,000 were committed.

Will Private Investigators Go Extinct?

Covert Results recently had the opportunity to be on a Zoom call with Mark Cuban and one question that an entrepreneur asked was, “What is the best business to invest in for the future?” Very quickly Mark answered confidently with one word…AI. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is technology that is taking over the world. One investigator with Covert Results posed a very good question; could AI get rid of private investigators? Here is a list of just a few things that a (real) private investigator with Covert Results can do for a client:

An unspeakable and terrible tragedy occurred when a coward entered the Covenant School located at 33 Burton Hills Blvd in Nashville, Tennessee and murdered six innocent people, three of them were children. Evelyn Dieckhaus, Hallie Scruggs and William Kinney, all 9 years old and three adults; Cynthia Peak, Katherine Koonce, and Mike Hill are the six names that will forever be etched in Nashvillians. What a sad day! Covert Results was called to assist in preparation and planning of the security for the celebration of life for Hallie Scruggs and future armed security at the school.

Successful Surveillance Operations

Your coach was right - you must be ready for the ball before it reaches your glove. It's easy to overlook, but having a plan of action can help make sure that no matter what comes your way, you will handle it competently and decisively. When playing baseball or softball this means knowing whether to simply throw to first or turn a double play; when surveying an area, understanding ahead-of-time what objectives are hoped to be achieved from the information collected ensures everything runs smoothly upon execution.

How Female Private Investigators Excel

Covert Results was founded by Robert Young in 2018, but many people and clients do not know that his mother-in-law (yes you read that correctly) is actually his business partner. She was a Metro Nashville Police Detective for more than 30 years and is an expert in many fields when it comes to anything law enforcement related. Jeannine is always willing to jump in, never scared to go anywhere or do anything when it comes to investigations. 

In the beginning…

Are There Good Hackers?

Time is precious. Time is money. Time affects everything that we do. So how do you feel when a hacker targets you and your precious time and interrupts that time by attempting to hack into your business and personal life? And if the hacker is successful and actually compromises your data then there is nothing you can do…or is there?

So what is a hacker and where did that even come from? In the 1960s, 'hacker' emerged as a designation for an individual with expert programming knowledge who could craft highly efficient code; they had a knack for "hacking away" superfluous instructions and streamlining programs. Basically a guy cut some corners and boom…a hacker was born.

How To Conduct Surveillance

Surveillance is gathering any source of evidence for an investigation, or as we like to call it; human intelligence gathering. The (3) three main types of surveillance that private investigators utilize are: surveillance in the vehicle, on foot, and surveillance from remote cameras.  

Before we dive deep into our story on surveillance, we want to ask you a question. Do you know who “Karen” is? Karen is a slang term for a white woman perceived as entitled or demanding beyond the scope of what is normal, this person is usually the one asking to speak with the manager. It’s now a trend on social media; where every entitled person people meet, is referred to as Karen.

So, if you’re a private investigator what do you do when you’re sitting on a public roadway and Karen comes up to you and accuses you of stalking?
