Hire a Private Investigator in Nottingham UK “What Is Value For Money?”

Posted 24 March ,2011 in AIC Legal Services, Detective Agency, Investigations, Private Detective, Private Investigations, Surveillance, Vehicle Tracker

When you Hire a private detective agency in the East Midlands how do you know you are getting best value for money and not a guy with a camera? Has the company got their ISO9001 and if not why not?

Most members who contact a Private Investigation company will be doing so for the very first time and therefore they will have nothing to measure value for money against. We are going to attempt to point out what you need to know before you part with your own hard earned money or your companys money. The following is a check list we would advise you to use before hiring -

1. Did you know that there are no restrictions on who can call themselves a Private Investigator!! YES anyone can call themselves an Investigator. The SIA have been threatening to regulate this industry for years and recently they decided to announce they were withdrawing to leave the industry in the dark ages. AIC Legal Services Ltd only employ experienced former Police Officers and Military Personell who have been trained in Surveillance and Investigations and are experts in their field of work.

2. Do Not be fooled by a fancy Website and a gentleman who can manipulate you into using their services because he has an experienced Sales pitch! Have a look at the associated professional logos that are relevant to this industry. AIC Legal Services Ltd are members of the Association of British Investigators(ABI), Ex Police In commerce and Industry(EPIC), Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Chamber of Commerce (NCC & DCC), Northern Ireland Retired Police Officers Association (NIPOA), Professional Bodyguard Association(PBA).

3. Do not be frightened to ask what Police Force or Military organisation they served in and request a copy of those documents. If they have not served in either of these then where on earth have they got the experience to be an investigator? A.I.C Legal Services ltd Directors have a wealth of experience having served as Police Officers in Northern Ireland and Military Officers who have carried our surveillance all over the world. Our Directors have both served in the Police and Military and have worked as International Police Advisors in Iraq and Kosovo, Northern Ireland, Africa and the Middle East.

4. If the company you are hiring for surveillance and investigations do not have Police or Military background then it is doubtful their evidence will stand up in Court as they are not deemed to be an expert witness. Imagine spending a fortune on a service and having the evidence you require and then it being no good to you! AIC Legal Services Ltd have many years of giving evidence both as Police Officers and as Private Detectives with a 100% success rate in all cases.

5. Do not be fooled by Testimonials on Websites. Anyone can falsify a testimonial or alter it to read what they want it to. Remember the Website is theirs and they control what is printed on there! AIC Legal Services Ltd have Testimonials for nearly every job every carried out and you are more than welcome to visit our office and view the origonals.

6. Criminal record checks should be essential for any professional detective agency carrying out your work. These should be offered to you without you requesting them. Always ask to see the companys CRB checks and CV of the person who will be carrying out your work. If a company is reluctant to show you these or they do not have them at their finger tips then you should be asking yourself WHY NOT? AIC Legal Services Ltd Directors, employees, self employed staff and any third parties working on our behalf have ALL been CRB checked at the highest of levels and any interested party is welcome to view these.

7. Ahead of no regulation for this industry has the company you are calling got an ISO9001 and if not why not? If a company is serious about representing themselves as professionals why have they not applied to have a European standard accreditation which is recognised anywhere in the UK. AIC Legal Services Ltd is in the final stages of their ISO 9001 and we would suggest that every professional Private Investigation company in the UK should consider such a move. The process has been so rewarding and has further improved our services and customer care and sets us miles ahead of anyone else in the East Midlands.
