Specific duties and responsibilities may vary, but there are several core tasks associated with the job, including:

Conduct Case Research

When assigned a case, surveillance investigators consult with the client to clarify the case’s objectives and specific research needs. They then use online databases, websites, public records, and phone calls to learn about suspects. This can include finding out where they live, what vehicles they drive, and any other information the client requests.

Perform Video Surveillance

They travel to their suspect’s location and set up video recording equipment in a hidden place to monitor the area. Often operating the equipment remotely from a vehicle, they watch the video feed to identify suspicious activities and behaviors relevant to the case. As the subject moves, surveillance investigators may relocate their equipment or follow the subject directly on foot.

Collect Evidence at Scene

In addition to video recordings, surveillance investigators take pictures of suspects at the scene, make notes about what they witness, and get recorded statements when requested. They upload this evidence to a case management system for use in legal proceedings and formal reports.

Review and Analyze Evidence

Coordinating with the client, the investigator will review and analyze their written observations, interviews, video recordings, and photographs to look for evidence that supports the investigation’s objectives. They also determine what evidence they can successfully use in legal proceedings if necessary.

Report Findings

Our investigators regularly call or email their clients to share progress on the case. They also write detailed daily summaries of all activities related to the case and include any documentation, such as pictures or videos, that backs up their statements.

Surveillance Investigator Skills and Qualifications

In addition to having patience and persistence in challenging situations, we prefer our surveillance investigators have a background in criminal justice or law enforcement. We also prefer an associate’s or bachelor’s degree along with at least one year of investigation experience.
