Become Your Own Criminal Investigator

Become Your Own Criminal Investigator

Police Departments can sometimes be understaffed, underfunded and lack resources. Too many times cases go cold and criminals will go uncharged with the crime they committed. Additionally, many wrongful doing is too minimal for the police to deal with, such as infidelity and petty theft. Because of this more and more people are choosing to become their own investigators and in order to do that it is necessary to have the right tools.

Audio Forensics: What people say can sometimes be more telling than what they do. By recording a conversation an investigator can get stronger evidence of a crime than just a visual recording. This is because lies and the truth are easier to hear than to visually see. Hidden audio recorders can be as small as a USB drive or a pen, making it extremely easy to make these these devices easy to conceal.

Audio recording is also important for interviews as they are more reliable than written recordings or oral records that are not taped. Through the use of audio recordings an investigator documents are more accurate, transparent, and efficient.

Hidden Cameras: Obtaining evidence against a suspect is necessary in order to take legal action against him or her. Visual documentation of wrongdoing can become the foundation for prosecuting a suspect. When using cameras make sure these recording devices are in undisclosed areas or   have a camera that does not resemble equipment used to record. This can easily be done by using cameras disguised as everyday objects, such as teddy bears, alarm clocks, and eye glasses - just to name a few.

Tracking Your Suspect: Locating a suspect can be a huge part of the battle of investigation. Using GPS Trackers to track a suspect is critical in understanding not only where the suspect has been but the activities that the suspect has been engaging in.

Always be safe while performing investigations, and make sure local and federal laws are being respected at all times.
