Social Security Verification

A Social Security Verification reveals if a Social Security Number is valid and associated with an applicant’s name. This information is based on searches of public and private databases.

Nationwide Healthcare Fraud & Abuse Scan

A Nationwide Healthcare Fraud & Abuse Scan searches databases maintained by the Office of Inspector General (OIG), the General Services Administration (GSA), and other federal agencies for sanction information. This search meets the government’s minimum requirements for sanction screening as set forth in the OIG’s Compliance Program Guidance. This search also reveals disciplinary actions taken by federal agencies as well as those taken by licensing and certification agencies in all 50 states.

However, not all States offer Statewide searches but Baker Street Investigations can access individual county searches to make sure that no criminal record goes undetected.

Nationwide Database Search

A Nationwide Database Search scans a collection of criminal records purchased from courts, corrections departments, and state agencies. This search is an essential supplemental search as it captures criminal records for applicants in states or counties in which they may have never lived, but have criminal records. The Nationwide Criminal Database Search is comprised of more than 150 million records, including 43 state databases. Each state provides information from at least one of the following: county courts, state corrections, or the state sexual offender list. The database also includes a Foreign Nationals search, providing information on individuals and entities that have been sanctioned by the U.S. Government. The Nationwide Criminal Database Search also includes the Nationwide Sexual Offender Index Search from all 50 states.

Workers’ Compensation Search

A Workers’ Compensation Search reduces the number of claims filed, and their associated expenses, by alerting employers and organizations to chronic abusers. This search is vital to organizations employing or staffing individuals who are involved in active, physical or labor intensive activities. Workers’ compensation records are available in most states.

Covert Surveillance

Photography and videography has become incredibly valuable as means of surveillance. Baker Street Investigation leverages advanced technology to capture events while maintaining a low profile and blending in with the surveillance environment.

Covert surveillance involves a person or persons being unaware that they are being watched. Sometimes normal cameras are used, but the investigator is concealed. Sometimes the camera itself is disguised or concealed. Some obvious element of concealment (or great distance) is generally needed to make such photography fall under the category of ‘secret photography’ rather than street photography or documentary photography.

Infidelity Surveillance

The statistics tell the tale: the unfortunate reality is that Cheating/Infidelity is the leading cause of Divorce; in other words in 90% of Divorces the single leading cause was cheating. Another statistic shows that in 80% of divorces there are children involved thus leading to a bigger legal battle and that is a child custody dispute.

Many people who suspect their spouse of cheating lose focus of the bigger picture and that is the child custody issue. Of course it is important to know whether or not your partner is cheating but you cannot jeopardize the child custody investigation. Figuratively speaking you can kill two birds with one stone via determining whether or not your partner is cheating while building a child Custody case.

Hi-Tech Equipment

• Night-time surveillance
• Low light situations
• Surveillance vehicles
• A variety of cameras and other related devices

These investigations can help determine the following:

• Supervised visitation requirements are being adhered to
• Activities occurring during child visitation periods are exposing children to risk
• A parent associating with known criminals such as sex offenders
• Domestic violence
• Alcohol, drug abuse neglect
• Verbal, emotional or physical abuse
• Parent Alienation

Child Support investigations:

• Locate non-custodian parent to assist in enforcement of child support
• Verification of employment and income

Infidelity Investigations

Infidelity by its very nature is a sensitive issue. Baker Street Investigations takes this very seriously. The emotional and financial investment in relationships often grows over time as people make personal sacrifices, financial decisions and build their lives around each other. Not knowing where you stand and trying to plan your future when the lines of open and honest communication between you and your partner have broken down can be emotionally devastating and have long term financial consequences.

Being Discreet: You may think that your cheating spouse or significant other would never suspect that someone would be watching them! However, cheating can feel risky and exciting and watching over their shoulder is part of what they do.  Other times, cheaters are absorbed and completely oblivious to their surroundings.

In the case of the vigilant cheater, it sometimes is necessary to engage more than one operative to get the job done efficiently and in a timely manner.  This can increase the cost at first but by obtaining the evidence in a shorter time, it is ultimately less expensive.  Surveillances done during rush hour traffic are especially more challenging and require more than one investigator on most difficult assignments.

DIVORCE

If you are trying to establish infidelity and prove fault for purposes of gaining an advantage in a divorce action, Baker Street Investigations can assist you with obtaining the information that is necessary for your legal counsel to use in court proceedings.

Although some States have a “No Fault Divorce” law which does not require the evidence of adultery, there are still many States that proof is required.  Also, some religious sects have regulations within their belief system where it is mandatory to document adultery.  Even in “No Fault” States, proof of adultery can assist in the award of Alimony.

In the State of Florida it is beneficial for custody cases to have a “Judge of Character” of the other parent.

A detaild report is prepared together with video footage and/or photographs which is made available for any testimony that is required in future court appearances by Baker Street Investigations.

Witness Location / Skip Tracing Investigations

As an attorney or litigant you are already busy enough trying to assemble a case for your client. Whether you are working on a civil or criminal case, failing to locate a key witness can be very disruptive. At Baker Street Investigations we specialize in witness location and have a proven record of tracking and locating witnesses quickly and efficiently.

Licensed and insured in the state of Florida, Baker Street Investigations understands that one of the most important issues in a case is to determine if there are witnesses available. Even if the location of the witness is unknown, we will utilize proven private investigation techniques to locate your witness and provide the information to you in a timely manner.

A Reliable Witness
Just because you can locate a witness does not mean they will be reliable and helpful to your case. Once located, Baker Street Investigations will conduct an interview with the witness to access their case knowledge and obtain a written statement.

Evasive Witnesses
Not all witnesses want to be located. This is especially common in criminal cases where the witness is fearful for their safety. At Baker Street Investigations we specialize in locating evasive witnesses and will work diligently to find these types of witnesses and help them understand the importance of the truth and their statement.

Who are you looking for?

• Missing witnesses
• Heirs
• Family members who have never met such as Birth Mother, Birth Father, son or daughter
• Person who owe client’s money
• Long lost friend

Finding people is an art, not a science.
We have subscriptions and licenses for numerous database systems, most of which are not available to the public. We also use the Internet to search public records, and we take full advantage of today’s social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. Not limited to the computer, we know where to go and how to find information when looking for people.

Baker Street Investigations does not just rely on the computer and the Internet to find people, because people can’t be reduced to words and numbers in a database. Finding people takes information, lots of it, but it also takes diligence, creativity, innovative methods, and the “sixth sense” that comes from years of experience. It takes getting out in the field and doing old-fashioned legwork to find, follow, and eliminate or verify leads. And that’s what we do.

We’re very good at finding people, and we’re proud of our 80% success rate.
