Investigation
Expert support, when and where you need it most.
What We Offer
Business crime investigations are complex, time-sensitive, and require specialist knowledge that most in-house security teams simply do not have. Our Investigation service provides that expertise on demand — embedding into your team to support active investigations without the overhead of a full-time specialist appointment.
Our team combines ex-police investigators, intelligence analysts, and security professionals with decades of operational experience. We support all stages of an investigation: from initial intelligence gathering and evidence management, through police liaison and formal disclosure, to investigation planning that maximises the chances of a successful outcome.
Whether you need ongoing support for a complex fraud case, help managing a sensitive internal theft investigation, or a structured response to a large-scale retail crime series, our team provides the experience and structure to drive the investigation forward.
What's Included
Every engagement is tailored to your organisation, but these are the core capabilities that underpin our Investigation service.
Direct, professional engagement with law enforcement on your behalf — managing referrals, disclosures, and ongoing relationships to keep your investigation moving through the system.
Structured collection and analysis of intelligence relevant to your investigation — drawing on ANPR, facial matching, open-source research, and industry intelligence networks.
A structured approach from initial assessment through to conclusion — identifying lines of enquiry, setting priorities, and building a plan that makes the best use of available evidence and resource.
Proper handling, preservation, and documentation of digital and physical evidence from the outset — maintaining an evidential chain that will withstand scrutiny by police and the courts.
Assistance preparing material for police and court proceedings — ensuring disclosures are complete, properly formatted, and submitted in a way that supports rather than complicates the case.
Sensitive, properly structured support for employee-related investigations — fraud, internal theft, and misconduct — handled with discretion and in line with current legal requirements.
Sectors We Serve
Our Investigation service is used by businesses across a wide range of sectors facing business crime in its various forms. If your sector isn't listed, get in touch — we work with any business that needs specialist crime intelligence support.
FAQs
At what stage should we bring you in?
As early as possible. The earlier we are involved, the more influence we can have over evidence management, lines of enquiry, and investigative strategy. We understand, however, that this isn't always possible — and we are equally effective stepping in mid-investigation to provide structure, fresh perspective, and specialist support.
Can you manage investigations that cross multiple locations or police force areas?
Yes. Our team regularly supports multi-site and multi-jurisdictional investigations, coordinating across different police forces and geographic areas. We are used to navigating the complexity that comes with large-scale or multi-location criminal activity.
Do you support internal investigations involving employees?
Yes. We have significant experience handling sensitive internal investigations, including serious fraud, internal theft, and employee misconduct. Discretion, proper procedure, and rigorous evidence management are central to how we approach this work.
