Surveillance:
The art of surveillance can be utilized for various aspects of investigations.  Insurance fraud,
domestic investigations, employee theft, and drug trafficking are just a few of many examples
where surveillance can be utilized.  Surveillance is always conducted in as discreet and
unobtrusive a manner as possible with the clients best interests in mind.  I have personally
worked hundreds of surveillances throughout the state of Arkansas and the surrounding area
and have extensive experience working in difficult remote rural locations.
Insurance fraud:
Pierce Investigations conducts insurance fraud investigations for large area businesses and law
firms.  As in most cases of insurance fraud, experience in surveillance will be necessary.  
Insurance fraud investigations can also require locating and interviewing witnesses.  In cases
where trials or depositions are pending, often a customized surveillance "strategy" can be used
to more efficiently document evidence.  Other times random long term surveillance can be the
answer.
Domestic Investigations:
Domestic investigations are usually any type of investigations involving marital infidelity or child
custody issues.  I have extensive experience performing domestic investigations for private
individuals and attorneys in the area.  Often, domestic investigations require background
checks or locates on individuals.  Pierce Investigations has access to hundreds of proprietary
information databases to assist in locates or background checks.
Covert hidden video:
Often an investigation will require close proximity video of an individual inside of a building or
business.  I use the latest micro pinhole color video equipment for all of my covert work.  Video
cameras hidden in small fanny packs, day-planner binders, and shirt buttons are just a few
examples.  
Criminal Investigations:
Criminal investigations can take on many different attributes and often include the entire
spectrum of services including surveillance, covert video, undercover work and witness locates.
Most often private investigators are called on to locate and interview witnesses prior to a
hearing.  I have many years of experience finding difficult to locate individuals and obtaining
witness statements.  
Locates and background checks:
Technology continues to advance making locating and performing background checks quicker
and more cost efficient than ever before.  Pierce Investigations has access to several
proprietary databases that can assist in locating people, property, court records, or long lost
relatives to name just a few.  However, absolutely no database is completely updated and
%100 accurate all of the time.  When a search occasionally comes to a "dead end" it is
important for the investigator to have the experience to know where to look and when to begin
old fashioned "footwork".
