Investigative Services
Surveillance
Gill & Associates investigators have more than 100 years of combined experience in conducting successful, discreet surveillance operations. We consider our surveillance unit to be the true strong suit of our organization. We have the ability to conduct nationwide surveillance in any civil, criminal, or domestic/family law case. We have successfully tailed subjects to several different foreign countries and we have the ability to achieve success in a cost effective manner. We utilize the latest technology to capture an accurate digital video record of all surveillance subjects. Gill & Associates has a fleet of clandestine surveillance vehicles at our disposal that enables us to constantly remain discreet. We excel where other surveillance units fail with difficult locations and subjects that have been previously aware that they were under investigation. Full, written and typed, reports are prepared upon the completion of surveillance operations, along with digital still photographs depiciting notable events during the surveillance, and digital video reproductions of all video acquired.
Accident Investigations
We can completely investigate any accident. From photos and diagrams of the accident scene, to witness statements, neighborhood canvasses, and obtaining police reports, our experienced staff can investigate any aspect that may arise.
Witness Statements
Gathering facts or "fact-finding" is a critical component for both civil and criminal cases. Our investigators recognize the importance of gaining the cooperation of witnesses, thereby possessing extensive knowledge and experience in turning hostile witnesses into valuabe assets. Our statements can be handwritten, typed or recorded and are tailored to each specific case or issue at hand.
Locates (Skip Tracing)
Has your client moved and not contacted you? Can't locate a key witness or defendant? Lost contact with a loved one, a parent, grown child, sibling, friend or spouse? Over the years, people move and relocate; however, with the latest technology and years of experience, our staff has the capability of discreetly locating the most elusive individuals - whether it's for a criminal, civil or domestic case, or for the purpose of conducting a discreet surveillance operation.
TSCM Inspections (Audio/Video Bug Sweeping)
Anyone who has a reason to be bugged, can be bugged! Gill & Associate shas experienced TSCM Specialists on staff that are familiar with the latest technology. We are able to conduct TSCM (Technical Surveillance Counter Measures) inspections at your residential, corporate, or commerical setting including vehicles. We are skilled in the detection of all methods of wiretapping and GPS tracking and are educated in the methods of covert eavesdropping such as RF, Optical, Ultrasonic, Acoustic, or a combination of any or all. Our rates for TSCM inspections are based on the square fotage of the residence, board/meeting room, or office being inspected, plus expenses. This directly correlates to the amount of time required to conduct a complete and thorough examination.
