Its Monday Morning.. most of the calls have been.. I met someone on line.. should I check them out.. HECK YEA!! Im not saying that becuase i want your business either. I just dont want someone to be investigating your rape, murder, loss of thousands of dollars or something else.

I am all for people being happy, but in this day in age, alot of work we do is background checks on your potentinal mate. Yes some info we can not give you, so if you have a family lawyer, you might get a little more informaiton.

But please be wary of that hot and perfect woman or hot and amazing guy..

I own a business or am in HR what do I need an investigator for?

Do you ever higher a new employee ? After reading all the applications, interviewing and getting ready to higher.. do you do a background check? Why? Well what about intellectual property theft? What

What is Intellectual Property Theft

Employee theft does is not limited stealing merchandise from the store shelves or cash from the register. Some of the most common thefts today involve theft of company intellectual property, such as unfilled patent applications, potential trademarks, new product information, sales and price statics, client lists and the like.



What Can a Potential Employer Find on a Pre-Employment Background Check?

If you are going to change careers you might want to see what your prospective employer could find out about you. Have them help you with your drivers record and criminal and civil background searches and pull your credit report yourself.


Harris Investigations, LLC

Please note not all investigations by private investigators involve serious incidents such as homicide and bombings. However, serious incidents do arise in other contexts such as cases involving the searches for missing persons, division of assets, and child custody. Private Investigators - Let Them Find a Missing Person For You. There are a lot of things we can do.



Pre employment checks most often used.

Criminal background check: The investigator will conduct a criminal background check to see what crimes the individual has been charged with or convicted of. It many cases this will not eliminate you from the job, depending on the crime.

Credit check: A credit check is a valuable personal security investigation tool because it reveals a person's propensity for taking responsibility for their obligations. It reveals if someone is in financial trouble, it could lead them to do things they normally wouldn't do.

Verification: An investigator, will verify the employment and educational information provided by the employee, to eliminate the possibility of hiring someone who has committed resume fraud by lying about their qualifications for the job.

Voted the Legal Intelligencers Best of 2010 Investigation Agency

Funny a few weeks back i found out from a client, we were voted on of the 7 best investigation agencies of the year in the Philadelphia area. Only being in business for ourselves since December 2005, i figured it was a mistake and we were a write in. But believe it or not, there we were. One of 7, and the others, well they have been around a long while.. I figured heck, we didnt have a chance. Then this week to find out we TOOK HOME THE GOLD, I was well shocked. But i actually talked to the people running the pole and we won. This is awesome to our team, and a very uplifting experience. A high i hope we can ride a while. Yes, I have been in this business since 12-1987 but to beat out actual companies that have been in business that long against us the new comers since 2005. Wow..

Charlie and I are greatful and thankful. Stacey, Leroy, Rob, Teri, Mike, Jan and Katlynn are excited to move forward.

We hope to live up to the reputation and title we were given
