Surveillance Services

Barefoot Professional Investigations has over 40 years of experience and thousands of cases conducting discreet, professional surveillance across the Carolinas. We observe how someone acts when they believe no one is watching, using discreet video and photography, GPS tracking where it is appropriate and permitted, and other state-of-the-art tools, all within the legal and ethical lines that govern private investigation work.

When Surveillance Is Used

Surveillance is used for far more than infidelity cases. Barefoot Professional Investigations handles child custody disputes, workers' compensation and personal injury claims, corporate personnel risk, non-compete violations, and cohabitation verification. Every case gets a high-quality highlight reel of video footage, a GPS summary where tracking was used, and an investigator who can testify to what was found. GPS is only fitted where the client has an ownership interest in the vehicle and can give permission for it, so it is used when appropriate.
