In any situation where the personal or professional history of an individual is important, a background investigation can be vital. This is the tool to determine or verify an individual's official record, references and financial stability.

We can accomplish a profile through all available resources within the budget established by our clients. Even modest funding can usually allow us to develop current and past residential histories, criminal/civil litigation cases, etc. The extent of a background effort is usually only limited to the amount of time and money we have been authorized to utilize.

Whether you are hiring new employees or entering into a business transaction, you can be sure our investigation will assist you in making the right decisions. The sad fact is that nowadays, you just can't be too careful who you plan on dealing with in your business or personal life. In the not too distant past, background investigations were something of a luxury, now they are quickly becoming a necessity. Every minute of every day, money is stolen and companies and individuals are defrauded of their fortunes and reputations.

Also known as Asset Investigations

When the assets of a company or individual become a decision factor, an asset search can enhance the decision process.

Also known as Skip Tracing and Missing Persons investigations

Subject Locate investigations (aka Skip Traces) are utilized to find an individual who usually is attempting to avoid judicial action or has merely moved and disappeared. These individuals would include debtors, witnesses, defendants as well as missing persons.

Paladin conducts searches nationwide and maintains over a 90% success rate. Most locates, depending on the information initially provided and difficulty levels, are available on a flat fee basis.

PLEASE NOTE: In order to protect the right to personal privacy and to protect us from allegations of stalking, we will only release the location of persons found by us when one of the following conditions have been met:

We are retained by, and report to, legal counsel
We are provided with a copy of a legal document, explaining the reason for the locate (i.e.: service of statement of claim, support application, declaration of judgment)
We have the permission of the subject of the locate to reveal his/her whereabouts

Employing the right person for a job is a daunting process. And verifying that the information they provided is truthful just ads to the burden. And what about what they did not tell you? In pre-employment situations where the personal or professional history of an individual is important, a background investigation can be vital. This is the tool to determine or verify an individual's official record, references and financial stability. And now many states support the 'negligent hiring' doctrine. This means that employers can now be held liable for their employees actions if it is shown that they did not make an effort to carefully screen their employees prior to hiring. Why take the chance? Isn't it worth a few dollars now to avoid potential disaster in the future?

Many problems in the workplace are just not solvable by normal methods.

Paladin has implemented undercover operations in numerous instances and types of businesses. Ranging from a few hours to several months, Paladin has the capability to serve your needs in this arena.

Circumstances arise where there exists the need to determine particular activities or identities by direct observation. Surveillance consists of monitoring an individual, site, or operation for this purpose. Surveillance is an investigative technique utilized to observe and document physical activities or associations of individuals. Surveillance may be mobile, covert or fixed through use of surveillance vehicles, afoot, or by plane or boat. Documentation occurs through the use of photo, video & electronic surveillance equipment.

Paladin investigators are trained to detail their observations in chronological order supported by photographs, video tape, and audio tape as the situation requires.

Surveillance is usually requested by a client based on something specific; such as a medical report, an anonymous tip, etc. to determine whether a claimant is really injured or just falsifying his claim. Inherent in our success is the use of sophisticated state-of-the-art video surveillance equipment. This has allowed us to get maximum results in many types of investigations, including:

Undercover Surveillance: Covert Cameras & Video Photography
Corporate Surveillance: Our experienced undercover operatives help clients investigate and document employee theft, workers compensation, embezzlement, drug abuse, product tampering, industrial espionage and counterfeit products.

Due Diligence investigations can greatly decrease the possibility of business losses and problem clients. The cost of one bad client, vendor, or associate far outweighs the expenditure of a due diligence search, especially when you factor in the money that is lost through litigation, lost sales, manufacturing delays, or sheer time.

Corporate & personal profiles
History
Business and credit reports (where allowed)
UCC filings

Bank referencing &account searches (where allowed)
Searches of courts for local, state & Federal bankruptcies, liens & judgments
And much more

Any concern for vulnerability can be mitigated through physical and personal security consulting. During the consulting process an assessment is made of the existing conditions, recommendations for improvement are proposed, and any required modifications are implemented. The physical security analysis includes site surveys and audits and, upon completion, recommendations on choice and placement of security equipment and personnel. The personal security analysis includes an evaluation of circumstances and recommendations for security training of individuals.

Paladin consultants customize each project according to the circumstances. Also available is consulting on areas such as Executive Protection; Financial Institution Security Analysis and Training; Forensic Document Analysis; Physical Security Surveys; and Security Force Training.
