The country and the world are increasingly becoming a fractious, violent, tumultuous place of unrest.

With the huge increase in false media, false hype, conspiracy theorist and self-appointed unqualified ‘sleuths and hacks’, are the population being led more proactively towards protests and disruptive behaviour?

Organised and established protest groups actively seek the publicity to fuel their cause and many groups have international reach, as well as those more localised protest groups who equally seek local and national publicity.

Protest Group Services

As a business, an individual, group or organisation who may be subject to the potential protest and activist activity there is a need to consider how to prevent, disrupt and detect any activity. Our private investigators are all experts at what they do, and we have a range of different services to help with various needs. Some cases, depending on the job, need a various range of these services to get the necessary evidence; however, here is a breakdown of the various tactics we use when it comes to dealing with protest groups.

Covert Surveillance

The most standard procedure people imagine when they think of a private investigator is surveillance. While there is a lot more to private investigation, surveillance is still a very effective method of acquiring information. Our private investigators know the local area well and can track individuals effectively to get the job done. This is a great service for acquiring personal information, competitor intelligence, theft investigations, and much more.

Data Services

In the modern world, a lot of information can now be found online and on personal electronic devices. We can conduct deep data scrapes and harvesting and monitoring for activity, calls to action and data sharing. We can also monitor social media activities.

Covert Vehicle Tracking

Vehicle tracking is another key tool for private investigation services. Essentially an extension of physical surveillance; however, sometimes, all you need to track is someone’s vehicle.

Covert Joining Of Groups

Here at Expert Investigations, we have a method of placing covert operatives inside protest groups to discover what is really happening. We can do this both online and in person.

Process Serving

A process server is an essential part of any serving. It is an official clarification that the process has begun. Here at Expert Investigations, we are frequently asked to help with carrying out this procedure (including injunctions) as our policing background means we know how to professionally and properly serve someone.

Data Research

Our data research services on individuals in protest groups ensure compliance with legal standards and ethical practices. We navigate the complexities of UK privacy laws and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), obtaining necessary consent and conducting thorough risk assessments. Our team is dedicated to safeguarding personal information while providing insightful analysis, all while respecting the rights to freedom of expression and assembly. Let us help you gather and interpret data responsibly and effectively.

Security Reviews

Our security review services encompass comprehensive assessments of your premises and employees’ homes, ensuring robust protection against potential threats. We evaluate physical security measures, identify vulnerabilities, and recommend enhancements tailored to your specific needs. Additionally, we offer counter-surveillance measures to detect and mitigate risks, providing peace of mind for you and your team.
