"The Watchful Eye: Private Investigators and their Impact on Child Custody Outcomes"

A private investigator can play a significant role in a child custody case by gathering evidence and providing valuable information to support a client's position. Here are some ways in which the investigators of EXCALIBUR Private Investigation, headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado, assist our clients in child custody matters:

Surveillance: Our Colorado-based professional private investigators conduct surveillance to document the activities and behavior of the parties involved in a custody dispute. This can include monitoring interactions with the child, observing living conditions, and documenting any potentially harmful or neglectful behavior.
Background checks: We delve into the background of each party, including their employment history, criminal records, financial situation, and any other relevant information. This can help uncover any factors that might affect their suitability as a custodial parent.
Witness interviews: EXCALIBUR’s investigators get out on the street and interview witnesses who have knowledge of the circumstances surrounding the particular child custody case we’ve been hired to investigate. These interviews can provide additional perspectives and gather testimonies that may support or discredit certain claims.
Asset investigation: If there are concerns about a party's financial stability or claims of hidden assets, our investigators can help uncover any hidden or undisclosed resources that may affect the custody decision.
Gathering evidence: EXCALIBUR’s investigators collect evidence, such as photographs, videos, documents, or electronic data, to support our client's claims. This evidence can be crucial in establishing a pattern of behavior or substantiating allegations of abuse, neglect, or other factors affecting a child's well-being.
Covert investigations: In some cases, a private investigator may be tasked with investigating a specific concern or suspicion, such as substance abuse or involvement with inappropriate individuals. We then gather evidence discreetly, ensuring the safety and well-being of the child.

We work with our clients to gather the evidence they need to support their child custody case. Our investigators, who work throughout the state of Colorado, have years of experience working child custody investigations and can put our over 30+ years to work on your behalf. Give us a call at 719.208.4088, fill out our contact form, or send us a Chat message on our website. A professional private investigator will be in touch with you asap, usually in less than an hour. We’re here to help you.

10 QUESTIONS YOU MUST ASK BEFORE HIRING A PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR

10 Questions to Ask a Colorado Springs Private Investigator

There are many instances where you may need to hire a private investigator. No matter what you're trying to accomplish, it's best to interview multiple investigators to see who is the right fit for you before giving one the assignment. We developed ten questions you should ask any professional investigator you're thinking about hiring:

1. How long have you been conducting investigations?

Note that this question will give you a good sense of how long the investigator has actually conducted investigations and if they have law enforcement experience where they've actually received training in all aspects of conducting an investigation. If they respond with "5, 7, ____ fill-in-the-blank years, be sure and ask if all those years of experience are only as a private investigator or not. At EXCALIBUR Private Investigation, we have over three decades of law enforcement (25 years) and private investigation (10 years) experience and have received ongoing training during the entirety of that time.

2. Are you licensed, insured and bonded?

In the state of Colorado, Governor Jared Polis vetoed ongoing licensure of private investigators effective August 31, 2021 and the industry is full of people who couldn't get licensed in the past due to a variety of reasons. Make sure to ask if they've ever been licensed in any state and inquire as to what insurance they have and if they are bonded. An uninsured, unbonded, private investigator is a train wreck looking for a place to happen. At EXCALIBUR we're insured and bonded and have held state issued private investigator's licenses in California, Virginia and Colorado.

3. What hours will you work on my case?

Never, never, never hire a private investigator who only works banker's hours, i.e. 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. If you've already hired them and can't seem to get in touch with them after 5:00 p.m. fire them. Immediately! Many cases require the investigator to work nights, weekends, and holidays, and can require much more than an 8-hour day. Our investigators work when the case requires it, no matter when that may be. Private investigation is not a 9-5 job!!!

4. What type of training have you had?

Many investigators will vacillate and stumble when you ask them this question and will try to generalize their training. They'll try to tell you how many years they've been doing this kind of work, what they did in the military, etc. If they can't answer with specifics, you can assume they aren't qualified, or equipped, to handle your case. At EXCALIBUR our investigators have trained at the FBI Academy, the DOJ Advocacy Center, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the Military Police Academy, to name just a few places our investigators have trained. Training is ongoing as there's always something new to learn.

5. What kind of report will you provide?

No matter what kinds of evidence a private investigator collects, if it isn't properly documented, via written reports, chain-of-custody recorded, videography, photographs, etc., it does no one any good. Many times a case has been defeated at trial due to shoddy or incomplete reports. Unless the private investigator has been trained in how to properly document evidence, they'll fail every time. A good professional investigator will give you frequent updates on all investigation conducted including what they've discovered, and what remains to be discovered. At EXCALIBUR Private Investigation we update all clients any time there's activity in a case and we provide a detailed, written report, that references all audio, video, photographs, surveillance activity, GPS tracking, etc. collected during the investigation. We hand deliver our reports with all of the collected evidence and take the time to go over our findings with the client.

6. How should we communicate with each other?

Many times in an investigation the client may still live with the subject of the investigation. If the private investigator you're interviewing doesn't have alternative communication methods in mind, find another investigator. We use a variety of apps and burner numbers untraceable to our firm as any investigator worth their salt should.

7. Can you recommend a good lawyer?

This question will let you know immediately if the investigator is respected by those in the industry. All good investigators should at least have a few law firms as clients and should be able to recommend which lawyer would be the best for your particular matter. Our firm has worked with law firms all over the country and can recommend the right firm no matter what type of case you need help with.

8. Are you willing to testify in court?

Any private investigator should be willing to testify in court. If the investigator you're interviewing hesitates, even momentarily, that's a huge red flag! Individuals who have presented themselves as PI's may have something in their background that they know will come out in any trial, such as criminal convictions. Without licensing even an individual with a criminal past can claim to be a private investigator. The investigators of EXCALIBUR Private Investigation have all testified in federal, state and local courts numerous times.

9. Will you guarantee your results?

If an investigator tells you they can guarantee the outcome of an investigation they are either lying or have never worked an investigation. An investigator with any experience whatsoever, understands that you never know where an investigation will lead. We guarantee we'll work your case with all available tools and expertise, but we can never guarantee a particular outcome. If the investigator tells you they guarantee their results hold on to your wallet and be suspect of any information they provide.

10. Do you have references?

Any private investigator with a level of experience should be able to provide references when requested. Most reputable PI's will have plenty of clients they can't provide as references due to confidentiality, but they should have some, such as law firms and other professionals, that can speak to their work product. Another red flag if the PI you're interviewing can't, or won't, provide references.

I recommend printing these questions out any time you are thinking of engaging a private investigation firm. I'm sure our competitors will be practicing their answers should one of our readers call them. If we can help you in any way, please don't hesitate to contact us.

WATCH OUT DOMESTIC ABUSERS!!!

Domestic Abuse investigator in Colorado Springs

Just read this article today in Forensic about a product being used in the UK to catch domestic abusers. A man who failed to adhere to a non-molestation order, what we refer to as a protective order here in the U.S., was arrested and convicted after the victim sprayed him with SmartTag which is a unique forensic liquid the UK police have been piloting. The SmartTag system uses a pressurized canister, which looks very much like a spray can of mace, to deploy a stream of forensic liquid that can be used to tag an offender with a unique forensic code. The police can link the offender back to a specific criminal trespass or protective order violation by using a UV light as the spray is actually invisible.

The company that makes SmartTag provides it as a handheld canister for spraying, a gel for door handles and gates, and an automatic trap that sprays the liquid if someone approaches the house or residence.

As a firm that's worked many domestic abuse cases, we think this product could be used throughout the United States and, particularly here in Colorado. We see, all too often, that the abuser, normally a man, is usually really good at denying they've been anywhere near the victim and they are also pretty good at getting the court to believe them. With this type of tagging system there would be proof. Of course there would most likely have to be some type of warrant issued to gain access to the clothing that has the tagging material on it, but that's nothing a good investigator should have any trouble getting.

Are you dealing with a case of domestic abuse? Let us help you gather the evidence to make sure your abuser gets all the time in jail they deserve, plus some!

UPDATE!!!! I spoke with the UK manufacturer of this product and they are finalizing a distribution deal with a U.S. company within the next couple of weeks. I'm on the list to gain access to this product asap and will definitely be adding it to our arsenal of investigative tools.
