Private Eyes – ‘Regulated or Not’
We have written many news posts regarding the Private Investigations industry and the Governments reluctance to regulate what we do. We have all watched the SIA fail miserably in their attempts to become the governing body. They kept us all hanging on for years with more and more false promises and as the pressure got applied for them to deliver they pulled the rug from under us a few months back with an announcement they were resigning from their responsibilities and we are all left with a big void again.
"So where the hell do we go from here?" that is the question AIC Legal is asking today! I doubt very much this question will ever get answered and i would imagine to stay the way we are suits quite a few Investigators out there who i doubt would even clear a CRB check at best. It does not suit us as now is the time to clean this industry up.
"Where does AIC go from here?" that is my next question and one that is much easier for me to answer as our Private Investigation Detective agency was already making plans way ahead of the SIA failing us and we are already a long way down the road to putting our own systems in place. All our staff are CRB checked and then checked further with our own in house team. All our Staff have been trained to the highest levels of surveillance and investigations and the reason for that is that they are all former Police and Military personell with years of experience. We are totally unique in that we have continuous on going training for our expert services so we ensure the best value for money in the UK. We are well into completing the ISO9001 and ISO27001 the most recognisable standards and sytems of work in Europe.
Being the best Private Detective agency in the UK is a weight we do not mind having on our shoulders because we have all the systems in place to keep us there and to continually improve. We use the most sophisticated in equipment on the market and some of our more specialist equipment is made by our equipments expert.

Private Detectives ‘Our Promises’ -
Many Private Detective and investigation agency's claim to be the best at whatever they do but can they back their claims? AIC Legal Services Ltd are the Best and we CAN. Here is a reference from another satisfied customer we successfully carried out an instruction for -**see our testimonial page for Private, Legal and Corporate Testimonials** " I was recently in the unfortunate predicament to have to turn to the services of a private investigator to help deal with a family problem. I was very lucky to have chosen A.I.C Legal Services Ltd, quite fortuitously, from the internet, for two reasons. On technical grounds they were quite superb. They delivered on time and to specification, and what really amazed me was the depth of the information they found out about their 'target'. Indeed, if I was their target, I really would be worried. Secondly, and I think that this is the most important aspect of what they did for me, was their concept of 'customer care' in how they handled my case. Not just sympathy, anyone can do that, but the way they went the extra mile to help me, for no extra cost, and their willingness to think of additional ways of helping, even after I had paid their bill! All this together with a willingness to keep me informed at EVERY step of the way. Great service. Highly recommended. </quote> Regards Martin If you need a Private detective or a team of investigators to speak to you or carry out an instruction in the knowledge that you will get the BEST then contact us using our Freephone number 08006681877 or to speak to one of our Operations managers 0n 0777 567 0794
Nottingham East Midlands Investigations “The Proof Of The Pudding Is In The Eating” -
"4 out of 5 sick are fit to work" has been released in the Sun News Paper today as the latest offical figures. If you follow the thread of some of our old posts you will see that AIC Legal Services have been pointing this out for sometime. However even these figures are worse than what we thought.
That equates to a sickening figure of 78% of those claiming to be on some form of sickness benifits have failed to qualify under the new Government tests. Why on earth has this been allowed to go on for so long and where is the Doctors accountability in all these cases. 2.1 million people are to be tested for incapacity benifit so if these early figures are anything to go by then this isvery encouraging indeed to help lift the country out of the debt it is in.
AIC Legal Services are also of the opinion that the Private sector needs similar testing and needs to have more investigations and surveillance as part of major routine testing of false sickness. Sickness and absenteeism is costing the economy in excess of 6 billion pounds a year so it is now time to get in touch with us and help you stamp it out once and for all. False sickness is theft of your money, money that could be used in different ways during a tough recession. AIC specialise in work related stress claims and the abuse of sickness and absenteeism.
