Chimera Investigative Group is dedicated to and specializes in the art of Surveillance. It is our area of expertise and almost every other type of Investigation we conduct is done to support these Investigations.

We employ experienced Licensed Investigators and provide each with additional training in advanced surveillance techniques. Our Investigators are equipped with most advanced tools necessary to capture video in virtually any conceivable surveillance situation.

Before entering the field, Pre-Surveillance Background Investigations are conducted to gain valuable intelligence about our subject. As a result of these efforts, we can stream line your costs and elevate our rate of success.

In fact, a number of other Private Investigative Agencies regularly call upon us to conduct their surveillances. Why? They appreciate the skill and honesty of our Investigators, the quality of our equipment, and our ability to get results.

Surveillance is the most effective method of acquiring information. The evidence obtained from a successful Surveillance Operation can dramatically sway the outcome of a situation in your favor.

Video of a person engaged in undesirable or illegal activity is the most powerful and convincing form of evidence you can present in a court of law. For the suspicious spouse or lover, it can put an instant end to the emotionally draining and otherwise indisputable denials of infidelity.

Verbal updates are given on a day to day basis (hourly in certain cases) to keep our clients fully informed of new developments and to ensure that their input can help us revise and maximize our strategy as needed.

At the conclusion of each investigation, you will be provided with a detailed Written Report and Photo and/or Video evidence. Credible eye witness testimony by the Licensed Private Investigator handling your case can also be made available. Reports and materials are archived for up to five years at no charge to you.

We understand that often when people call us, it is the first time they have had cause to contact a Private Investigator. Please feel free to contact us, with absolutely no obligation to proceed, to discuss your inquiry. You can be assured that all calls are received with sensitivity and confidentiality.

Surveillance is the most common method of revealing infidelity. It is also the most successful. With complete discretion, our investigators can follow your mate, watch where they go, what they do and who they are with.

Furthermore, they can capture damning behavior, if any, on video. This may prove to be exceptionally valuable as leverage in any ensuing divorce negotiations or may put an end to the "it's all in your head" and "it's just your imagination" you may have had to endure. Video tapes and photos are next to impossible to explain away.

What is GPS tracking?

GPS tracking units are devices that, once attached to a vehicle, person, or other asset can determine and record location positions at programmed intervals via the Global Positioning System. The collected information can than be stored within the tracking unit or, using a cellular (GPRS) radio or satellite, can be transmitted to an Internet connected computer.

The current and previous locations are then pinpointed on a map and are available in real time while simultaneously being recorded for future analyzation. While in place, the data will show locations, times and speeds traveled. Detailed reports of routes taken and time spent at specific destinations can be made available on a daily basis. Attached magnetically and measuring less than 15cm in length and 5cm wide, these devices can be covertly deployed and removed in mere seconds.

With a GPS Vehicle tracker, you can track the location of your car at any time from your computer (Internet access required). Daily reports detailing where the car went, how long it stayed at specific locations, and the route the car drove are provided at the click of a button.

Note: It is very important that you own the vehicle for this method to be utilized.

Statistics prove that motor vehicle related accidents are the leading cause of teenage Deaths. According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, Teens are four times more likely to be involved in a crash and 3 times more likely to die in one. Although teen inexperience plays a role, high speeds are most often to blame. Monitoring your child's driving could help you supply that added guidance that could make the difference between life and death.

Equally, knowing if your Teenager is being 100% honest with you regarding their whereabouts can illuminate potential problems before they incubate. It is much easier, both financially and emotionally, to avoid would-be issues than to solve deep rooted troubles.

Because of this, we recommend occasional monitoring of your teenager before suspicious behavior arises. However, if you suspect your teen is abusing their car privileges, disobeying restrictions, omitting visited locations or participating in dangerous behavior, it is imperative you act now.

Do not worry that this is an invasion of privacy. As a parent, it is not only your right but your duty to use all of the tools available to keep your children safe.

Is employee misconduct eating away at your profits?

Are your employees where they are supposed to be and doing what they are supposed to be doing? This is a question that can make or break a business. Businesses can be hemorrhaging dollars on frivolous misuses of their vehicles and disregard of the company clock. Is it a harmless errand on the rare occasion or a recurring abuse of company time and gas?

If your employees are using company time to attend to personal obligations, putting unauthorized wear and tear on the company vehicle or elongating their appointments past the allotted time, a GPS tracker may be the solution.

Stop wasting money.

GPS vehicle tracking can be used in conjunction with a traditional Licensed Private Investigator Surveillance Investigation or Undercover Operation. If the data collected reflects unauthorized use of a company vehicle, a surveillance investigation can be initiated to gather additional evidence against the employee.

Whether your business involves mobile service vehicles, delivery vans, or shipping, this is an excellent fleet management/monitoring tool.

Counter surveillance is no longer just for the Famous and the Rich. Everyday people are being watched and harassed everyday.

Who's at risk?

• If you own a successful business, competitors may wish to know the particulars of your day to day business activities.
• If you have disgruntled employees or an estranged ex-husband/ wife or ex-boyfriend/girlfriend.
• If you are the target of identity theft.
• If you have upset someone and they may be seeking revenge.
• If you are known to carry large sums of cash or execute large cash transactions.
• If, for an infinite number of potential reasons, you catch the interest of a complete stranger.

Counter Surveillance can involve sophisticated electronic equipment. However, the most common surveillance technique involves having one or more persons follow the pursuer or "Subject."

As surveillance specialists ourselves, we are keenly aware of the tactics employed to covertly gather information. This expertise arms us with the necessary skills to go undetected while tracking the "Subject" and gathering incriminating evidence.

This evidence can be presented in a court of law should you choose to litigate and/or provided law enforcement the basis to prosecute. Evidence of this nature can also be very convincing for the issuance or enforcement of Restraining Orders.

Do you have an uncomfortable feeling you are being watched? Do you hear strange noises on your phone? Has your private information been suspiciously revealed during conversations with acquaintances or business associates?

You have a right to privacy, we can help.

The ever increasing availability of audio and video bugs on the market today, make it relatively easy for someone to monitor what you are doing and saying in the privacy of your own home, business or vehicle. The threat of being a victim of electronic eavesdropping has never been greater.

It doesn't take a high level of expertise or expensive equipment to intercept most forms of electronic communication and transmit it anywhere world wide. Shockingly, surveillance equipment is not difficult to construct, is available in many ordinary electronics stores and can be sold to any buyer, without restrictions.

We could easily be clueless that we are living with these electronic roommates. Once planted, these devices are most likely disguised as household or office objects, hidden out of sight under furniture or floorboards or concealed inside walls and electrical equipment. They can also be cleverly built into something you already own.

Our Investigations are Discreet and 100% Confidential.

Typically, the only effective way of locating this equipment for removal is by a Counter Surveillance Operation or "Bug Sweep." Chimera Investigative Group will arrange for a Specialist Private Investigator to visit your home or business, discreetly locate any devices and remove them. In some cases, a reverse trace back investigation can be conducted to uncover the guilty eavesdropping parties.

Bugging can happen to anyone, however, there are certain occupations, financial positions, social ties and domestic situations which increase the risk.

Common victims of bugging are:

• Spouses – by the other spouse
• Neighbors - by other neighbors
• Children – by their parents
• Businessmen – by other businessmen
• Scientists – by other scientists
• Professors – by their students
• Attorneys (and their clients) – by other attorneys
• Accident victims – by Insurance Companies
• Construction companies – by other construction companies
• Customers – by Salesmen
• Debtors – by Collection Agencies
• Suspects – by the Police bug
• Individuals – by Identity Thieves

Bugging devices have a number of ways of entering your home, office or vehicle. Here are some of the most common:

• Entering your home, office or vehicle, unauthorized, without your knowledge
• An agent posing as a utility worker for gas or electric
• A trusted friend, partner or colleague
• Hidden inside a gift or present you may receive
• Attached to the outside of your property or office (certain bugs can listen through walls)
• Attached to the phone lines externally

Chimera Investigative Group's Debugging services include a physical search of the target site and experienced professionals employing state-of-the-art eavesdropping detection equipment.

Equipment which can be located with Debugging:

In today's technological world, people becoming victim to listening devices, eavesdropping devices, recording devices, wireless devices, security cameras, audio and video surveillance devices and other snooping devices is more common than ever.

If there is a concern you are the target of a bugging operation, we recommend you call our office from a payphone at least a few miles from your home. At this juncture, it might not be wise to use your home phone for calls of a confidential nature.

Do you suspect that some of your employees on disability claims are not really injured or disabled?

False injury claims cost corporations thousands of dollars, and hundreds of valuable man hours in filing, documenting and check payout processing. With expert surveillance, key witness testimony and captured video, Chimera Investigative Group can reduce your organization's losses due to invalid, overstated, or fraudulent worker's compensation claims.

Do you have inventory losses you cannot account for? Do you suspect theft in some areas of your company? Could the actions of just a few be negatively impacting your profitability?

Losses due to employee dishonesty and theft are problematic, expensive, and embarrassing. Certain types of employee dishonesty can threaten your company's reputation and integrity, which is often the case with the theft of data or personal customer information. Chimera Investigative Group Inc. uses surveillance and structure infiltration (including undercover research), as well as "Secret Shopping" to assess, identify, and document points of loss that otherwise would be difficult or impossible to draw out.
