Surveillance is a common investigative service that has proven to be beneficial for obtaining hard evidence that supports and strengthens a wide variety of cases.  Insurance fraud, worker’s compensation claim exaggeration, employee theft, infidelity, and child custody investigations are all common cases that can significantly benefit by appropriate use of surveillance.

Judges, juries and opposing counsel find photographic and videotaped evidence more compelling and convincing than any other type of evidence.  We place the highest priority on setting and maintaining a standard of excellence in our presentation of such testimony, through meticulously prepared videotape evidence, accompanied by a detailed report of all observed activities.

Kelsay Investigations often provides surveillance from a security standpoint as well.  Monitoring individuals or groups who pose a potential threat of harm or violence is a subtle, proactive approach to avoid and diffuse dangerous situations before they arise.  Workplace violence and hostile terminations are the most common reasons that necessitate this type of surveillance.  Violence in the workplace can be addressed through the use of a guard or guards strategically placed within the area around the individual in question.  Surveillance of individuals who have been recently terminated should usually start at the workplace at the time of their notification of termination and carry on until the company/organization is satisfied that the individual will no longer react.

Interviewing witnesses to workplace incidents, automobile accidents, physical altercations, etc, is among the most common services rendered by Kelsay Investigations. Obtaining statements in a timely manner is critical to help maintain optimal presentation of facts and cooperation from witnesses.

Once a witness has given a sworn statement, evidence has been obtained that should help guide legal decisions towards a truthful and fair outcome. Legal cases are often greatly dependent on the presentation of facts displayed by Kelsay Investigations both in written report, and through live testimony in a court of law.

Often performed in conjuction with a background check, reference checks are the verification of information provided by an individual where references are provided. Situtations where reference checks are required include: verification of employment history and re-hire eligibility for new-hires; prospective tenants for rental properties; investment track record; etc.

Kelsay Investigations provides reference checks for clients throughout the State of California when in-person verification is not required — San Diego County only when in-person verification is required.
