Frequently asked questions

What does Surveillance entail?

• ​Surveillance includes GPS monitoring, to which the client has access to, on site surveillance with cameras, and hidden cameras. On site surveillance is when we actually follow and document the person in question. This provides better evidence for both the court and the client, and we ensure the action is well documented.

Can anyone do surveillance?

• Trying to do a Private Investigator's job on your own, or having someone that is unqualified for the job can have repercussions, including arrests. Licensed Private Investigators are legally permitted to document a person's actions, and to use surveillance when following them.

How do you set up surveillance at the start of a case?

• Surveillance at the start of a case is established with the help of you, the client. When you start a case we ask you to fill out what's called a "Lead Sheet". A "Lead Sheet" consists of everything that you know about the subject to be followed. We like to get the name of the person, his/her car, license plate, the current address, pictures, and what you suspect for us to find. Cooperation on the clients part is vital to a better outcome of the investigation.

Will the person under surveillance find out?

• Frank Proietti is experienced in surveillance and monitoring. He prides himself in his success rate and efficiency. He makes sure that when someone is placed under surveillance, that we are discreet to the best of our ability. Even though there are no 100% guarantees in this business, the best efforts are taken upon by our employees. Your satisfaction and discretion is our number 1 concern.

Is what you do legal?

• Everything that I do is completely within the law and I am licensed through SLED (South Carolina Law Enforcement Division).We will provide our licenses upon request, so that you can feel comfortable with our services.

What evidence do I get at the end of the case?

• When the investigation is complete the evidence you receive is dependent on what type of case we were investigating. We provide video and photographic evidence for cases like adultery, child custody, cohabitation, and insurance claims. The evidence that we provide may be from a distance or from a close proximity, depending on the location of the surveillance. If the case becomes a legal case then, with your consent, we will provide all of the evidence that we gathered to the lawyer, and will also write an affidavit testifying to all of the evidence that we obtained.
