Question 1

Is it expensive to hire a private investigator?

Accepted Answer

Generally, we charge an hourly fee plus a mileage fee. We work with the budget you provide in order to get you the results you need. We accept debit, credit, e-transfers, and cash.

Question 2

Can I follow someone myself to find out what they are doing?

Accepted Answer

No, unless you are following a person who has just committed a crime that you witnessed and are guiding the police to their location. If you follow someone based on mere suspicion, you could be charged criminally with criminal harassment. Only licensed private investigators (https://yellowpagescanada.wixsite.com/elite-five-0-protect/about-us)are permitted by law to conduct surveillance.

Question 3

What do I do if I need the police?

Accepted Answer

In an emergency, call 911. But be aware, the average police response time to a Priority 1 call  (the most serious calls), was recently reported by  Toronto Police Chief Demkiw as 18.1 minutes, an improvement over the previously reported average response time of 22 minutes. If you are in trouble, and need the police right away, both those times are far too long. We can show you how to secure your home to prevent home invasions and how to secure your vehicles and assets so that you are not victimized.

For property crimes, many people are told by police to report the incident online, or at the police station, and the police may not send a patrol car. The report is required to have an insurance claim, but if you want the matter properly investigated, consider calling us.(https://yellowpagescanada.wixsite.com/elite-five-0-protect/contact-us) We can also show you how to avoid becoming a victim in the first place, and how to install covert tracking devices so that your vehicle, or other valuable assets, can be recovered if they are stolen. The installation of high-quality digital cameras with night vision also acts as a deterrent and provides valuable evidence.
