Results-Driven Investigations Backed by Experience
From sensitive domestic matters to complex litigation support, AIP Investigations works closely with private clients, attorneys, insurance companies, and corporate professionals to uncover facts that matter. To accomplish this, our investigators combine proven field techniques—such as surveillance, discreet interviews, and sworn statements—with modern intelligence tools, including advanced databases and targeted online research. Consequently, we efficiently identify critical information such as current and historical addresses, phone numbers, criminal histories, liens, judgments, and known associates.
More importantly, we don’t stop at collecting information. Instead, we deliver clear, professional, court-ready reports designed to support legal proceedings, negotiations, and strategic decisions. This approach ensures our clients move forward with confidence, backed by verified facts rather than assumptions.
Advanced Investigative Technology, Including Aerial Capabilities
In addition to traditional investigative methods, AIP Investigations has expanded its operational capabilities with the acquisition of a DJI Mavic 4 Pro professional-grade drone. This advanced aerial platform significantly enhances our ability to document scenes, support surveillance operations, and capture high-quality visual evidence across large or complex areas.
Operated by FAA Part 107–certified pilots, AIP is fully qualified to deploy drone technology in direct support of investigative operations. The Mavic 4 Pro’s powerful multi-lens zoom system allows investigators to observe and document activity from a safe, discreet distance, while its extended range provides broad-area coverage with exceptional image clarity. Additionally, advanced collision-avoidance and obstacle-detection systems allow for precise operation in challenging environments, adding both effectiveness and reliability to aerial missions. Taken together, these features make drone deployment a powerful force multiplier during investigations.
A Higher Standard in Private Investigations
AIP goes beyond the standard private detective model by applying the right tools, strategies, and expertise to each unique case. Whether you’re dealing with employee fraud, infidelity, personal threats, or high-stakes legal disputes, our agency delivers confidential, results-oriented solutions tailored to your situation. Every investigation is approached with focus, discretion, and a commitment to uncovering the truth efficiently.
