Crucial Investigations will act as your company's contracted security manager and implement a proactive, cost-effect loss prevention program. Imagine having a professional asset protection manager dedicated to protecting your company's employees and assets for only a fraction of the cost. Crucial Investigations makes it possible. Our Stop-Loss Program consists of three steps:
Step 1: Crucial Investigations will conduct a loss prevention audit of your company. The audit will define your company's vulnerabilities across many departments - human resources, accounts payable and receivable, facility security, shipping and receiving. Evaluating present security devices such as surveillance cameras, card access systems, protection of trade secrets, document destruction and evaluation of security policies and procedures that may currently exist. Once Crucial Investigations has defined your company's vulnerabilities, we will develop policies and procedures to address those security needs.
Step 2: Crucial Investigations will set up a toll-free telephone number for employees to anonymously report security violations, such as employee theft, worker's compensation fraud, etc. A professional investigator will answer this toll free number and report to the client with all tips provided. Crucial Investigations will also provide posters to better educate your employees about the program. The establishment of this program will act as a major deterrent because it creates a security-conscious environment.
Step 3: Crucial Investigations will act as your asset protection manager, maintaining a complete security program that is extremely cost-effective. Understanding our clients and their products allows us to provide sound security advice for the level of protection your company expects and deserves.

Surveillance is the close observation of a person, place or object. During surveillance all contacts, interactions, activities and whereabouts of the subject are observed and documented. In cases of cheating spouse, child safety, stalking, missing persons, workers compensation cases, employee theft, vandalism, etc. surveillance is often the only way to know for sure what is going on.
Our experienced professional investigators are licensed and insured to provide surveillance and to gather evidence using numerous techniques, which include but are not limited to, the latest technology in audio, video and Location Monitoring Technology (GPS) equipment. Dan Garrett, our senior investigator, has a law enforcement background and all investigators are trained in how to uncover dishonesty in any form. We work closely with attorneys and remain well-versed in current laws. Illegal activity revealed during an investigation is presented in court as evidence and our investigators appear as an expert witness to present the findings.
