In the todays globalized world,
there is a fast trend moving from the public sector towards the private sector.
The major sectors in which the privatization has been done is airlines,
railways, electricity, communication, defense and so on. Earlier all the
investigation work was under government , but now privatization in this sector
has also come. In the proposed article, we are going to discuss the what are
the various private investigation services and their different
categories. The different services under this
can be categorized into three parts- the first is the service which is provided
to the individual person i.e. to a
common man, the second category is service provided to the large business
organizations and corporate houses and the third is the service which is
related to the technology. When a person hires an investigation agency, they
are often in need for assistance with very private issues. Certain
circumstances in which investigators
help is required consists of: Firstly locating and finding lost persons , the police can not provide assistance you
until a certain period of time has passed. That persons nears and dears may
know that something is not good much faster and then it's advantageous to hire an agency. Secondly providing
break up - this is the most common motive for hiring a private agency when
someone needs evidence of their spouses disloyalty.
When trades, organizations and
large corporate houses find that they are in the need of assistance privateinvestigation services it comprises of much less emotional and sensitive issues means they are not
related to individual persons. An investigation agency can provide help on the
issues including: Firstly it provides background checks - usually organizations
uses online services in order to find
out present or future staffs, workers
and personnels. Sometimes that information provided by online services is not authenticated. So in that case they can
hire an agency which can provide his background depth details and records of
someone. Secondly, it can prevent losses
Certain warehouses cannot have funds
to appoint a full time security guards to protect their warehouse from theft,
so, in that case, a private investigator is reasonable option. Thirdly
it can help the organizations to provide compensations to deserved workers only
for example someone injured on duty deserves compensation, some workers may lie
about an incident to get aids and assistances and not have to work more. Lastly
handling and checking for the various frauds – like in the same manner, this
work includes identifying the truth and the deceiving person who frauds against various loans etc.
The last
but not the least reason which demands private investigation services is
for the computer experts and forensic
labs and the need for this is increasing
day by day. So much of crime and theft is done with the help computers that an
investigator needs to get training in
how to track security access, ethical hacking and different ways to recover
information which may be deleted or erased from the hard disks due to different
reasons or might have been formatted. Ethical hacking is a new branch now a
days used by various investigators, in which hacking is done not to take advantage
, but intruding is done to help people for example tracking computer activities
of a partner, by installing various softwares in order to get access to the partners email account and this
process is to prove and get evidences that
partner is cheating and misleading. Sometimes they also hack the
databases of mobile companies to get the phone details, call logs of various
persons, their contact details so that they can find out the evidences against
them. Though the time is changing in a continuous manner, the methods of investigation is also changing day by day but one thing can be taken for
guaranteed that in this modern world, we will always be in the need these
investigating agencies.
