Technical surveillance countermeasures (TSCM) eavesdropping detection and bug sweeps are designed to detect any means of eavesdropping or electronic bugs in use at your home, office or vehicle. The TSCM professionals with ICS are highly qualified, certified and accredited.

A technical surveillance countermeasures sweep with ICS involves both physical and electronic inspection of the area of concern to determine if any means of eavesdropping or information theft are in use, like infrared, laser, audio recording, video recording, phone taps, GPS tracking, hidden cameras, wireless microphones, radio transmitters, cell phone interceptors, and more. If you suspect that one of these devices, or any other means of eavesdropping or information theft, have been used against you, contact ICS today to begin a TSCM eavesdropping detection and bug sweep. A technical surveillance countermeasures eavesdropping detection and bug sweep is a service offered by ICS and is not itself an investigation; ICS will work with a Florida private investigator to report findings and take action in the event of a discovery of illegal surveillance activities.

ICS of Florida can provide this service and many others. Background checks are one of the most common and useful investigative services a private investigator can provide.

Individuals can obtain a "C" license, for Private Investigator, a "CC" license for a Private Investigator Intern, or a "M" (or "MA") license for a Manager of a Private Investigation Agency. Florida Statutes require that in order to be licensed as a private investigator, each individual must: • be at least 18 years of age; • be of good moral character; • have no disqualifying criminal history of mental illness or alcohol or controlled substance abuse; • be a citizen or legal resident alien of the United States or have been granted authorization to seek employment in this country by the United States Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services; All applicants for a private investigator license undergo criminal history checks with the State of Florida and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Each Private Investigation Agency must have a minimum of one physical location within the State of Florida from which the normal business of the agency is conducted, and this location shall be considered the primary office for that agency in Florida. Also, each private investigation agency and branch office location must have a minimum of one designated, properly licensed manager. A licensed Private Investigator in the State of Florida may sponsor up to six Private Investigator Interns.

The exception to these rules is Tennessee, which only allows for 15 days of out-of-state time for an investigation.
