Undercover and Decoy Investigations

Sometimes the only way to find the truth is to pursue it at its source. Getting at the source, however, often requires subterfuge and disguise. Due Process investigators conduct long and short term commercial and retail undercover assignments to provide the information our clients need to run their businesses safely and profitably.

An undercover operative is trained to blend in with the workforce and may work from three to twelve months at a facility, depending on the information developed. He or she gradually becomes accepted by their fellow workers and in time gains their trust.

Over time, the agent looks for and reports on drug activity and drug sales, theft rings, acts of violence, intimidation, sabotage, grazing, abusive management, discrimination and sexual harassment to name just a few issues existing in the workplace.

Our undercover investigators report on violations of policy and procedure and are available to meet with our clients for regular debriefings. Their field reports are edited by Due Process management into a weekly interim report submitted confidentially to our client’s residential or private address.

The process of corporate investigations can take some time, particularly when dealing with embezzlement and white collar crime as opposed to equipment and resource theft.
