Pre-Investigations | Professional Status Analysis

Where possible, pre-investigations should be conducted prior to deployments in order to avoid surprises during surveillance. These include inspecting, reviewing, and analysing the anticipated observation locations, determining possible exit routes, knowing the general traffic situation on site, gathering information about public transport and nearby stops, and much more. In addition, the most precise possible information about the subject(s) and their usual behavioural patterns should be taken into account. Our detectives at Kurtz Detective Agency Düsseldorf will be pleased to explain the required measures during pre-investigations in the course of the briefing: +49 211 9874 0021.

Vehicle Keeper Enquiry as Part of the Preliminary Research

It is often known prior to a surveillance operation that a subject uses a motor vehicle, but not which one. For a successful surveillance, it is generally essential to know where the vehicle in question has been parked, as numerous traffic-related and surveillance-related particularities can arise from the location.

 

Thus, a foot-based operative can scarcely do anything if the subject suddenly gets into an unknown vehicle and drives off. Even a colleague in a separate vehicle may in many cases be unable to react in time, as they might be travelling in the opposite direction, stopped at a red light, or – after receiving the vehicle information – unable to identify the target vehicle quickly enough because it has disappeared from sight within seconds. To prevent such unwelcome situations, it is advisable, as part of the preliminary research before surveillance, to determine which vehicles are registered to the subject. Our Düsseldorf detectives can carry out these vehicle keeper enquiries quickly and with ease.

The operative is stopped at a red light while the subject disappears in a different direction because the parking position had not been known – a scenario that should be avoided through preliminary research.

Multicultural City of Düsseldorf

An international transport hub such as Düsseldorf offers shady characters countless possibilities. Be it an individual obliged to pay maintenance or a tourist who has entered the country illegally and disappears into the urban jungle; the stolen vehicle on an unmonitored large car park; the pickpocket in the crowds at the Kö-Centre (Königsallee shopping boulevard) – all of them take advantage of the anonymity provided by a metropolis.

 

Consequently, private investigators working in Düsseldorf must be trained to deal with the city’s cultural diversity. Language skills and an understanding of the cultural background of clients and subjects are indispensable.
