Surveillance Services

Surveillance Services

Surveillance is an excellent method of investigation when used in conjunction with good intelligence and often leads to the identification of additional intelligence and, more importantly, evidence which can be invaluable to clients.

We are regularly instructed in relation to investigations concerning allegations of theft, criminal damage, fraud, infidelity concerns, dishonest employees, personal injury, missing persons, or to acquire detailed evidence in support of impending legal action.

Vanguard’s dedicated team of male and female operatives are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and can be deployed at short notice if required within the UK. We also have the ability to deploy our team internationally in support of client’s investigations.
Security Services

Security Services

We can provide a bespoke executive close protection service for individuals, groups or families within the UK or globally. Vanguard Associates UK provides highly competent, high calibre, close protection operatives for your complete security whilst in the UK or abroad. Experienced in VIP security, executive protection and additional levels of close protection, our operatives maintain a professional approach and remain conscious of our clients’ public profiles at all times.

We draw on the expertise of former members of the special forces community combined with current threat and risk assessment pre-deployment of individual or team protection operatives.

Our operatives blend in with their surroundings to offer covert discreet security, or a more overt presence to suit the requirements of given situations being available for individuals, families and multi-national corporations.
Technical Surveillance Services

Technical Surveillance Services

Counter measures electronic eavesdropping is a phenomenon identified as a serious threat to commercial organisations large and small, as well as being directed against individuals. Devices are inexpensive, readily available and in most cases simple to deploy. Such devices are capable of being disguised or hidden only to be discovered following the deployment of sophisticated sweeping equipment.

Current trends indicate the instances of covert listening devices being deployed have increased dramatically in recent years. This is identified not just as a result of the sales achieved of such equipment, but the number of recoveries made. As the bugs become ever more sophisticated, development of technical equipment to enable detection is required to locate and identify clandestine devices. Vanguard Associates UK are justly proud to be associated with the latest cutting edge technology and technical services. Following an electronic sweep, we undertake a detailed physical search of the premises, checking for any suspicious wiring or modifications while future proofing the location for follow up site visits.
Dating Detectives

Dating Detectives

How did you meet your husband, wife or partner? At your place of employment, in a club, in a pub or bar? Or simply through friends? That’s how it used to be, but more and more people are turning to internet dating sites in order to find a romantic partner.

It’s not just the twenty-somethings − our silver surfers are fully engaged with seeking a new life by using the services of online dating agencies, often encouraged by younger family members who have the best of intentions. But rather than find the love of their life, friend and soul mate many people become the victims of fraud losing thousands of pounds, some their life savings to those unscrupulous individuals whose real intention is to STEAL YOUR MONEY!

Many victims are embarrassed by being duped and do not report what has happened to the Police. In any event, only in rare cases will the Police commence an investigation into the suspects. Prosecutions do take place and they inevitably result in the suspect(s) receiving a custodial sentence. So, is the person you are dating online really who they say they are? You can protect yourself by asking questions of your would be partner and if in any doubt about the answers he/she gives you beware and be on guard.
Costs & Timeframes for Investigation

Costs & Timeframes for Investigation

The type of investigation being undertaken, the geographical area where enquiries are to be conducted, the number of private investigators required to complete the investigation, the estimated time frame for completion, expenses that may be required in the course of enquiries, together with the particular expertise of the individual investigator are all considerations that need to be taken into account when instructing a private investigator.

Surveillance is and can be a highly effective investigation strategy and on occasions, it is the only strategy open to investigators to complete the instructions from the client. The location where the surveillance is to be conducted will have a bearing on the number of operatives required to fulfil the task. Similarly, the nature of the investigation will have a bearing on the number of operatives required.

For example, in the majority of cases where we conduct infidelity surveillance, we can achieve the objectives with one or two operatives. In more complicated situations where the subject of the surveillance travels by public transport into central London and may switch modes of transport from train to tube or bus or taxi, we may need to deploy more operatives with specialised skills to achieve the objectives. The number of hours used in the surveillance deployment may depend on the level of activity of the subject.
International Asset Tracing

International Asset Tracing

There can be many reasons why you may suspect that assets are being hidden or not properly disclosed to you. Individuals often conceal assets from spouses suspecting they will be taken in a separation or divorce settlement. Relatives and business associates may also remove or disguise assets following a financial disagreement. In addition, assets may also be hidden for tax reasons or other financial motives.

Vanguard Associates UK provides an international asset tracing service which is designed for companies or individuals to establish the true financial profile of an individual or entity. This will provide a platform which enables the client and or lawyers to properly challenge disclosures made by individuals or entities. This method creates a level playing field upon which to act to achieve a fair and or favourable final settlement.

This intelligence will help you determine if the subject or entity has anything of value before embarking on costly litigation to recover property or funds. In some cases, the mere identification of undisclosed assets is sufficient to bring about a negotiating position.
Lie Detector Testing

Lie Detector Testing

The term “polygraph” means “many writings”. It’s named after the testing procedure: several physiological responses are measured at the same time to detect signs of deception. This discipline is called forensic psychophysiology.

The combination of “psychology” and “physiology” refers to the relationship of the mind and body; the Polygraph Instrument measures physical responses to thoughts and emotions. (For this reason a polygraph examiner is also known as a forensic psychophysiologist.) A polygraph instrument is used in performing lie detector testing, so both terms are used interchangeably.

The experience of undertaking interviews in the most complex, sophisticated and demanding circumstances for over 35 years across the globe means that we are both confident and capable of handling all investigative challenges presented to us. The added capability of polygraph testing as an additional asset in our investigative armoury, together with our proven track record of undertaking time critical decisions in the most demanding of circumstances allows us to formulate the most appropriate questions.
Process Servers

Process Servers

When legal documents are required to be served it is vitally important that the correct legal procedures are followed and the strict deadlines are adhered to. On such occasions you will require the services of experienced process servers. Working alongside Solicitors, Barristers and financial institutions we are able to serve process anywhere in the UK.

Anti Social Behaviour Evidence Support

Anti Social Behaviour Evidence Support

You may be a landlord, housing association, local authority or a regular householder, all of whom can suffer from the effects of anti-social behaviour. Such behaviour can take the form of excessive noise, loud music being played late at night, graffiti, criminal damage, the use of narcotics, inconsiderate parking and a whole range of issues which may well affect you or your tenants’ peaceful living.

Technical Services
Electronic eavesdropping is a significant threat to both large and small commercial organisations, as well as individuals. These devices are inexpensive, widely accessible, and often easy to set up.

Dating Detectives
Vanguard Associates UK can help with identity verification.

Our private dating detectives also offer detailed advice on protecting yourself, what to watch for, and how to stay safe.

… And more.

The traditional roles of the police have become more limited, and they no longer handle many of their previous responsibilities. Resource shortages have worsened this issue, leading to theft, fraud, and anti-social behaviour going unreported and uninvestigated, allowing offenders to continue their activities without consequence.

At Vanguard, our private investigators can help you compile evidential packages to enhance the chances of prosecution, conviction, asset recovery, or civil litigation. While our range of detective services is extensive, we are open to discussing your specific needs and requirements.

If you believe you need to hire a private detective, contact Vanguard for a free, no-obligation consultation.
