Description of Private Investigations in Ann Arbor
Ann Arbor Private Investigator
A private investigator in Ann Arbor must apply to the Michigan Department of Energy, Labor and Economic Growth, Licensing Division and pass licensing requirements, including a thorough background check. While many Ann Arbor private investigators come from a law enforcement or military background, it is not a requirement for employment as a private investigator. Often times a degree in Criminal Justice or other security and investigation work can be just as important to prospective employers.
In the State of Michigan, it is against the law to provide the services of a private investigator without a Michigan Private Investigator License. You can rest assured that any Ann Arbor private investigator assigned to your case with ICS is an authorized sub-contractor fully licensed and insured in accordance with Michigan State Laws and participates in the required continuing education.

Technical Surveillance Countermeasures
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. Whether your case involves suspicion of corporate espionage, stalking, intrusion into your private affairs, extortion, identity theft, or any other malicious attempt to harm you through information theft, the TSCM professionals at ICS are ready to assist you with an in-depth, comprehensive survey. 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 Ann Arbor private investigator to report findings and take action in the event of a discovery of illegal surveillance activities.
