What is a skip?

Skip tracers are professionals who specialize in locating individuals whose whereabouts are unknown, often because they are intentionally avoiding contact. They use a variety of investigative techniques and databases to track down people for purposes such as debt collection, legal proceedings, or finding witnesses. Skip tracers work closely with law enforcement, attorneys, private investigators, and collection agencies. Their skills include research, interviewing, and critical thinking to piece together information and locate the individual in question.
