Criminal Defence

While all criminal cases do not require the services of a private investigator, in cases that do, the private investigator often becomes one of the most important members of the legal defence team. A private investigator employed by the defence team performs specific tasks in order to prepare an effective defence against criminal charges.

A private investigator will review the police investigation and if required, interview witnesses to discover if there are changes in their statements and to establish if there are any new leads of inquiry. Dion Neill, a licensed private investigator is qualified to assist you with all types of civil and criminal investigations.

Background Checks

If you have any doubts or concerns, before you make a major personal, business or financial commitment, you should consider a discreet background check by a private investigator. The background check will confirm the identity of the individual, criminal history, insolvency information and the ownership of assets.

In a personal matter, a background check may determine if your potential partner is really who they say they are? Have they ever been married, or are they still married?

While some people believe it’s easy to just search and check a person’s name on the internet to find out more about them, that is simply not enough. If you are in doubt or have a suspicion, we can help to uncover the facts.

Pre-Employment Screening

High staff turnover, unsuitable employees and dishonest staff can ultimately cost your company or organisation thousands of dollars in time, money and resources. That’s why it’s important you recruit the right person from the very beginning.

While it is likely that your candidates are presenting themselves honestly, a simple discreet background check by Dion will help you identify any possible history of dishonesty or pattern of behaviour that is not aligned with your best interests.

Contract Compliance

Dion investigates employees and contractors who might be in breach of employment or commercial contracts. Dion and his associates can seek and recover evidence in relation to restraint of trade, IP protection, nefarious contact with competitors and any other activities which may compromise the integrity of your business or brand.

Tracing

Dion’s information sources provide lines of inquiry that often result in a positive search for missing relatives, debtors, witnesses, defendants, birth parents, siblings, partners and friends.

Dion works closely with the media, legal firms, enforcement agencies, financial institutions and private individuals who are seeking to locate a person of interest. Dion’s tracing specialists carry out extensive inquiries to locate anyone, anywhere in the world with a high degree of success.

Identity Verification

Online dating has changed the way people meet, no longer are face to face meetings necessary to kindle a relationship. What happens if the person behind the computer screen is not the person they say they are? Online dating scams and internet based fraud is now very common, anyone can be targeted.

Dion uses recognised best practice surveillance methods to determine what happens when a parent is with their child. Dion can document any abuse or neglect that we observe and gather other evidence that suggests if the child is being treated well or not. Additionally, we may speak to witnesses or may solicit witnesses for the court on behalf of the parents. Dion can find out whether a parent indulges in reckless driving, criminal activity, alcoholism, neglect, or other activities that may affect a child’s welfare and well being.

Based on the information and evidence gathered, parents and courts can determine what to do to ensure the child safety. A private investigators findings always have more credence in court than a parents accusations, so if you have any suspicions, a private investigator is essential. There are many reasons why parents turn to a private investigator to safeguard their child, usually they will have suspicions about their child’s welfare. In a divorce case, however, suspicions may not be taken at face value.

A private investigator can help provide the evidence that can allow you to save your child from harm. A private investigator can help to determine whether a child is being neglected or abused.

Theft & Fraud

Dion has decades of experience detecting and investigating fraud and theft for New Zealand business, government agencies and private individuals. Fraud is a worldwide concern with an estimated cost to New Zealand business and government agencies estimated at $6 billion a year. Fraud can occur in any business no matter its size. Fraud inside a business or organisation frequently occurs through poor internal controls and processes, this allows a window of opportunity for people in positions of trust and responsibility to carry out offending such as theft or fraud. We know fraud can damage a company or organisations reputation, brand and culture.

Dion can help you to respond professionally and with an independent perspective.

The most common form of criminal activity experienced in any workplace is occurrences of theft or fraud. If you suspect these activities are occurring within your business or organisation, it’s important to have it investigated before you suffer any further loss.

Surveillance

It is important for everyone to understand that surveillance is both legal and ethical. Dion will only conduct surveillance for a legitimate purpose and in a legal manner. Surveillance is a powerful tool used in investigations where evidence is obtained in order to secure prosecutions – substantial intelligence is often gained from these operations. Dion works closely with highly experienced surveillance operatives with decades of experience providing surveillance to support commercial and private investigations.

The current measures of surveillance and intelligence gathering include insurance claimant surveillance, domestic related surveillance and employee surveillance for workplace theft or fraud related investigations. Dion and his team of associate private investigators possess significant expertise in the area of discrete photographic and video surveillance and conduct all activities to the highest level of professional and ethical standards.

Dion and his associates covertly audit the communication, compliance and integrity of your front line customer services people. Covert visits to your business are known to uncover potential areas of loss and identify potential risk to your business.

Loss Prevention

The handling of product and stock – both in retail and distribution – generally operates with an acceptable shrinkage percentage to allow for losses incurred through internal and external factors such as damage, breakages, faults and theft. Often, many of these losses are caused by data entry or coding errors, and can be reduced through the introduction of improved internal processes. Once stock is accurately accounted for, the true extent of fraud or theft can be established.

Dion provides advice on the accurate management of your stock, to ensure no further losses occur. Dion has worked with a number of national clients to provide security and loss-prevention solutions across diverse industry sectors.
