IN THE FIELD
When investigators step into the field operationally, significant responsibility is placed upon them. The field agent has a duty to the client to provide professional representation of their interests while pursuing objectives of the assignment. They must be accountable to their agency by being detailed in field note taking, quick to make proper decisions and efficient in managing time to keep billable hours productive. Their actions must be carried out with full respect of the laws within jurisdictions in which they operate including those granting authority specific to the industry, civil codes of procedure and the wider substantive laws that govern us all. And some jobs require this be done without being seen. These considerations serve as a basis for our firm’s approach to working in the field, a highly variable environment ranging from city centers to rural settings and high to low income communities.
​
The success of any field operation starts with broad planning often referred to in the industry as “advance work”. Drawn from our extensive research capability, Acumen Probe LLC’s internal advance profiles and directives are developed to provide both internal and associate field operators with a solid base of information on which to base their efforts. Including such components as individual and relationship identifications, known schedules, property characteristics and geospatial intelligence derived from public sector geographical information systems and satellite imagery, our investigators are afforded logistical familiarity prior to setting a boot on the ground. And the information stream doesn’t end there as in-office support personnel are always on hand to provide real time assistance and immediate development of intelligence when needed.
Working in both armed and unarmed capacities, our field investigators bring together experience and professionalism to provide clients with an outlet where they know the job will get done and the job will get done right. Whether it involves physical surveillance, process service, executive protection, surveys, canvasses or interviewing – bring it our way and forget about it, the results will be on their way.
