Investigations
Comprehensive investigative services for corporations, professionals, and individuals.
Our Investigation Services
When the truth is hidden, we find it. When the facts are disputed, we document them. When someone needs answers — in a courtroom, a boardroom, or a living room — we deliver them.
Strategic Investigations brings together former law enforcement professionals, FBI-trained investigators, and seasoned field operatives to provide a full spectrum of investigative services. We work with attorneys, corporations, insurance carriers, and private individuals across Illinois and beyond. Every case receives the same standard of professionalism: thorough, discreet, and built to hold up under scrutiny.
Whether your situation involves a domestic matter, a corporate threat, a missing person, or a legal dispute, we have the training, the tools, and the experience to get you the answers you need — legally, ethically, and confidentially.
Domestic Relations
Relationship investigations require a level of discretion and sensitivity that goes beyond standard casework. Our investigators are thoroughly trained in the surveillance techniques and interpersonal methods necessary to determine the faithfulness and truthfulness of a spouse or significant other. We document what is actually happening — clearly, professionally, and in a format that protects your interests whether you choose to confront the situation privately or pursue legal action.
Premarital Investigations
Marriage is one of the most significant commitments a person makes. Before you make it, you deserve to know exactly who you are making it with. Our premarital investigations give you a complete picture of a person's background — criminal history, civil records, financial standing, prior marriages, undisclosed children, and more. What you do with that information is your decision. Our job is to make sure you have it.
Surveillance
Surveillance is the backbone of nearly every investigation we conduct. We deploy the latest in professional video technology — both stationary and mobile — to document activity across any environment, any time of day, and in any weather condition. Our surveillance teams are trained in remaining undetected for extended periods while capturing clear, court-admissible footage. Whatever the case demands, we have the equipment and the patience to see it through.
Workers' Compensation Investigations
Fraudulent workers' compensation claims cost businesses millions every year — and they drive up costs for everyone. Our investigators are experienced in determining whether an employee's reported injury is genuinely work-related, non-industrial in origin, or whether a third party may have contributed to or caused the injury. We gather the facts objectively and thoroughly, giving employers, insurers, and legal teams the evidence they need to make informed decisions.
Sub Rosa Investigations
Sub rosa — Latin for "under the rose" — refers to the covert monitoring and documentation of a claimant's activities outside of the workplace or medical setting. When someone claims a debilitating injury but continues to live without apparent limitation, we find out. Our investigators use covert video surveillance to capture activity that contradicts reported injuries, producing evidence that is both compelling and legally obtained.
Countermeasures & Security Consultation
With over 20 years of combined experience in security consultation, our team provides comprehensive countermeasures services for individuals, executives, and organizations concerned about electronic surveillance. We perform professional sweeps for hidden listening devices, covert cameras, GPS trackers, and other eavesdropping technology — in homes, offices, vehicles, and boardrooms. If someone is listening when they should not be, we find the device and we shut it down.
Missing Persons
Every missing person case is urgent. Whether you are searching for a long-lost family member, a runaway, or a person who has deliberately chosen to disappear, our investigators bring the latest locating techniques, database resources, and field experience to bear immediately. We work quickly, we coordinate with law enforcement when appropriate, and we do not stop until we have an answer.
Internet Profiling & Digital Investigation
In today's world, a person's digital footprint tells a story — often one they never intended to share. Our internet profiling services involve the systematic collection, collation, and analysis of a target's online activity across social media platforms, public records, forums, and digital databases. The result is a comprehensive digital intelligence report that can reveal associations, behaviors, locations, aliases, and patterns that would otherwise remain hidden. In an age where everyone leaves a trail online, we know exactly how to follow it.
