Undercover Investigations

Undercover Investigations in Anaheim, CA

An undercover investigation is often the most efficient and cost-effective way to uncover employee misconduct. By directly interacting with the suspected employees, our investigators gather valuable information that goes beyond what traditional security measures, such as CCTV cameras, can detect.

While the primary goal of undercover investigations is to expose theft, substance abuse, or sabotage, these investigations often reveal additional insights into employee morale, efficiency, supervisory effectiveness, and workplace safety. This comprehensive approach gives you the information needed to make informed decisions about the well-being and safety of your workplace.

How Does It Work?

Our undercover investigators are placed in your workplace to blend in with other employees, working a real job 24/7. The operatives are trained to develop working relationships with the team, ensuring they gain the trust and acceptance of those around them. This allows our agents to observe behaviors and interactions naturally, providing deeper insights than any security system could. Our operatives are even prepared to spend time outside of work hours with suspected employees if necessary to gather additional information.

Typically, management already suspects something is wrong, such as unusual employee behavior or a decline in workplace productivity. Our undercover investigations dig into these concerns and reveal whether there is misconduct in areas such as:

  • Theft
  • Substance Abuse
  • Workplace Violations
  • Broad Compliance Issues
  • Supervision Issues
  • Work Productivity – Idling
  • Safety Issues

Throughout the investigation, we keep you informed with daily verbal reports and weekly written updates. Once the investigation reaches a plateau, often after three months, we conduct interviews with the suspects and gather written confessions if necessary. Additionally, Confidential Controls provide recommendations for the next steps based on the findings and work with law enforcement if prosecution or restitution is required.
