What Does a Private Investigator Do?

A private investigator is a trained professional appointed to conduct lawful enquiries, verification, intelligence gathering, and evidence development on behalf of a client.

At PI Services, our private investigators assist clients by:

• Establishing facts and timelines

• Verifying claims, behaviour, or information

• Locating persons, assets, or records

• Gathering evidence suitable for legal review

• Conducting discreet field investigations and surveillance where required

Private investigators are often appointed when matters require independent, objective, and professional investigation, outside the scope or capacity of standard law enforcement processes.

Our Private Investigation Services

PI Services offers a full range of private investigator services, tailored to the needs of each case. Investigations may involve physical enquiries, document analysis, interviews, surveillance, intelligence gathering, or a combination thereof.

Domestic & Personal Investigations

We assist private clients with sensitive personal matters, handled with discretion and care, including:

• Cheating spouse and infidelity investigations

• Child custody investigations and welfare monitoring

• Domestic disputes and personal concerns

• Missing persons investigations

• Behavioural verification and activity checks

Surveillance Investigations

Where observation is required, our private investigators conduct lawful, discreet surveillance, both mobile and static, including:

• Spousal and partner surveillance

• Employee surveillance and moonlighting investigations

• Insurance and disability claim investigations

• Restraint of trade and business partner surveillance

• Child custody-related surveillance

Surveillance is always conducted in compliance with South African law and privacy requirements.

Corporate & Commercial Investigations

We support businesses, insurers, and legal professionals with professional investigative services, including:

• Fraud investigations and financial crime examination

• Internal theft and employee misconduct investigations

• Due diligence investigations

• Background checks and verification

• Asset searches and financial profiling

• Civil and commercial dispute investigations

Our investigators understand corporate risk, reputational sensitivity, and evidentiary requirements.

Criminal & High-Risk Investigations

While criminal investigations are led by law enforcement, private investigators can play a vital supporting role.

PI Services may assist by:

• Conducting independent enquiries

• Locating witnesses or missing persons

• Gathering intelligence and documentation

• Assisting legal teams and families

• Compiling investigation dockets and statements

We liaise professionally with SAPS, legal representatives, and prosecutors where appropriate.
