Professional Investigation, Surveillance & Security Solutions

We offer a focused range of licensed services designed to uncover the truth, manage risk, and protect people, assets, and interests.

Private Investigations

Domestic, corporate, civil, and criminal investigations conducted discreetly and lawfully. Our services produce intelligence and evidence suitable for legal, insurance, and professional use.

How Our Work Is Conducted

Every engagement begins with a confidential consultation to understand your objectives, risks, and legal considerations.
Based on this assessment, we design a tailored investigative, surveillance, or security approach using lawful methods, experienced operatives, and structured reporting.
You are kept informed throughout the process, and all findings are documented clearly for personal, legal, or professional use.

Investigations vs Surveillance vs Security

These services often work together but serve different purposes. Investigations focus on enquiries, verification, intelligence gathering, and evidence development. Surveillance involves discreet observation to confirm behaviour, movements, or activities. Security and close protection focus on prevention, deterrence, and physical safety. 

Surveillance Services

Static and mobile surveillance for personal, corporate, and insurance-related matters, conducted by experienced field operatives using lawful methods and professional reporting.

Confidentiality & Legal

Confidentiality is central to everything we do. All investigations, surveillance operations, and security deployments are conducted discreetly and in full compliance with South African law.
PI Services operates in alignment with PSIRA regulations and POPIA principles.
Client information, case details, and collected intelligence are securely handled and never disclosed without lawful authority or client consent.

Transparent Billing & Professional Scope

All services are billed according to clearly defined scopes of work. This may include investigator time, surveillance hours, or security deployment periods.
Costs are discussed upfront with no hidden fees.
You retain full control over budgets, duration, and operational decisions at all times.

Security & Close Protection

Professional security guarding and close protection services, including armed and unarmed protection for individuals, executives, residences, businesses, events, and high-risk situations.

Who We Assist

We assist a wide range of clients, including private individuals and families, business owners and corporate clients, attorneys and legal professionals, insurers and risk managers, as well as executives, VIPs, and high-risk individuals. Every engagement is handled with professionalism, discretion, and a strategic focus tailored to the client’s needs.

When Immediate Action Is Required

Some matters require immediate response, discretion, or rapid deployment.
PI Services is available 7 days a week and can mobilise investigators, surveillance operatives, or security personnel where circumstances demand urgency.

I had a missing uncle, Mr Jaco and Mr Van Wyk helped us and within a week we knew where uncle was. They are very professional and know how to deal with hurting clients. We did not want to believe the outcome but they held our hands and explained everything in detail. Thank you Mr Van Wyk and Jaco. May my uncle’s soul rest in peace ❤️🌺

After some frustration in the lack of formal progress with a criminal case, I engaged with PI Services to assist in finding and facilitating the arrest of a suspect in a GBH case. Jaco and the team were oustanding, pin pointing the suspect, and his whereabouts within 18 hours of briefing them. They then worked closely with SAPS and their extended team across two different precincts to plan an arrest. I was at all times kept up to speed and informed of the correct process as well as what was needed in the arrest docket to ensure a successful conviction (i.e. statements, J88 Forms etc). I would not hesitate to use them again if needed or to advise anyone looking for PI services to enagage with them. Professional, dedicated and success driven. Awesome job PI Services. Thank you.

I recently reached out to PI Services after a family member was involved in a hit-and-run accident. The situation was incredibly stressful, and we felt completely lost without any leads or hope of finding the person responsible. Thankfully, we found PI Services, and they were a game-changer. From the start, their team was professional, empathetic, and determined. They took the time to listen carefully to the details of the incident, asking all the right questions and providing immediate reassurance that they would do everything possible to help. What impressed me the most was how quickly they sprang into action – they combed through nearby surveillance footage, tracked down witnesses, and meticulously pieced together crucial evidence. Thanks to their expertise and relentless work ethic, they were able to identify the driver responsible for the hit-and-run, and the perpetrator was caught. It was a huge relief knowing that the individual was held accountable, and it wouldn't have been possible without the dedication of PI Services. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, I highly recommend PI Services. Their professionalism, thoroughness, and commitment to justice made all the difference. They went above and beyond for our family, and we’re forever grateful for their help.
