Private Investigators
in Nevada
Nevada private investigators must apply for and receive a
private investigator’s license from the Nevada Private Investigator Licensing
Board before they may operate as a private investigator. Many states have licensing requirements,
which are meant to protect clients by holding private investigators accountable,
but Nevada has some of the strictest licensing requirements in the
country. Private investigator applicants
must have at least 5 years of full time investigative experience, for a total
of 10,000 hours of experience.
Applicants with an Associates degree or a Bachelors degree in criminal
justice may be granted a certain number of hours of experience based on the
degree earned. Nevada private
investigators must also pass an in-depth background check conducted by the FBI
and Nevada Highway Patrol, and complete a one hour written exam with a 75% or
higher.
All private investigators working at ICS are fully licensed
and up to date on all local, state, and federal industry standards and
continuing education requirements. ICS
has made it our mission to provide excellent and reliable investigative
services to the residents of Nevada. If
you need a Nevada private investigation, please do not hesitate to contact ICS,
either by calling Toll Free, or by submitting our online form. ICS always offers a free consultation.
Adultery, Infidelity,
or Cheating Spouse Investigations
Being the victim of infidelity or an extramarital affair can
be extremely painful, but for many people, the wonder and worry that comes with
not knowing can be far worse. If you
start to see any of these common signs of cheating, you may need a private
investigator: excessive or secretive computer or cell phone usage, unexpected
and unlikely “business” trips, hiding financial information or opening an
individual bank account or credit card, losing or removing wedding band or
family pictures from the wallet or purse, and frequent hang ups or wrong
numbers on the home phone. These are
only a select few of the common signs of a cheater and in no way is an
all-inclusive list. Trust your gut
instinct; if you do not see these specific behaviors, but are still suspicious
of your partner’s fidelity, contact ICS for a free consultation. You deserve to know the truth.
If you find out your spouse is cheating and end up filing
for divorce, be aware that Nevada is a community property state, which means
that if you and your spouse are unable to decide on property division, the
court will separate your assets and debts equally. There are some instances in which a judge may
decide to distribute property unequally. For example, a Nevada divorce judge may
consider proof of an affair, especially proof of money spent on an affair, when
deciding how assets and debts should be divided. In these circumstances a private investigator
can be invaluable as it can be extremely difficult for a civilian to compile a
wide and comprehensive report of this nature without the tools and techniques
used by ICS private investigators.
An Adultery, Infidelity or Cheating Partner Investigation by
ICS is not just for married couples.
Anyone who is in long term or serious relationship can benefit
enormously from an infidelity investigation, especially if they own property
together, cohabitate, or have children.
Adultery is painful no matter what your relationship status is, and
everyone has the right to know if his or her partner is cheating. Please do not hesitate to contact an ICS
Nevada private investigator if you think your partner is cheating, no matter
what the status or title of your relationship is.
Child Custody,
Visitation, and Support Investigations
If you have recently separated from your spouse or partner
and there are children involved, you are probably trying to work out the
details of who will have custody, how much child support should be paid, and
how often visitation should be granted.
These are major decisions, but unfortunately, parents are often unable
to agree on the details. If you are unhappy in their current arrangement, or
who feel that the other parent is going to lie in court in order to make
themselves look better or you look worse, or if you think they are trying to
cheat their income declarations in order to get more money from you, you are
going to need to go to court with a solid reporting of the facts. This is where a private investigator comes
in, because it can be impossible, and potentially illegal, for you to gather
all the information you need in order to prove your case to a judge. The experienced private investigators at ICS
can provide the verified proof you need about you and the other parent,
including financial, work, and housing situations, relationships, drug or
alcohol problems, and more. No good
parent should be kept from seeing their children, especially if the other
parent is trying to use custody, support, or visitation rights as a bargaining
chip in the divorce or separation.
Protect yourself during these crucial decisions by hiring an ICS private
investigator to find the information you need.
All findings will be presented in a timely manner, and the evidence we
collect will be viable in court.
After all initial child custody and child support decisions
have been made, you may find yourself dealing with what is known as a “deadbeat
dad” or “deadbeat mom” who will not pay their child support. Some parents lie about the amount of money
they make in order to evade paying the full child support amount, and some
parents do not even attempt to make their payments or only make partial
payments. It can be frustrating and
difficult to get child support arrangements restructured, so when you do
finally get a court date with a Nevada judge, you may need to hire a private
investigator to ensure you have all the evidence and documentation
required. If you need help proving your
child support or custody case to a judge, do not hesitate to contact ICS to
begin your free consultation today.
Missing Person and
Locate Person Investigations
If you are trying to find a missing person or someone with
whom you have lost contact with ICS may be able to help. Because private investigators have no
jurisdiction limitations, they can follow a case, no matter where it leads, and
private investigators can even investigate cases that police have already
investigated or rejected. Our private
investigators can also help find people whom you have lost touch with over the
years, such as birth parents or distant relatives, childhood friends or lovers,
and even people who have stolen from you, conned you, or defrauded you in the
past. ICS uses a wide assortment of
tools and resources to locate your lost or missing person, whether a crime has
been committed or not. If you have an
unsolved missing person case, or need to locate a lost person in Nevada or
elsewhere, ICS can help. Contact ICS to begin your investigation today; many
missing persons cases can be time sensitive, so do not hesitate to begin your
investigation.
Nevada Background
Checks
If you need a background check performed on an individual
living in Nevada, or if you live in Nevada and need a background check
performed out of state, ICS can help.
Background checks are one the most common and well known tools a Nevada
private investigator can provide. Often,
a background check is the only information a client needs. In cases where a more in-depth investigation
is called for, the background check is a great starting point, providing the
investigator and client with valuable leads to pursue. If you need a Nevada background check, or if
you have a case involving one, ICS is ready to work for you to provide the
discreet and confidential service you need in a delicate and professional
manner. ICS has been helping people in Nevada
just like you get results since 1967.
Computer and Cellular
Forensics
In an
increasingly technological world, it has become more important-and more
difficult-to keep your personal information safe. Part of keeping your
information safe involves knowing who has been accessing your personal
electronic devices, and determining if information has been viewed or copied.
ICS can retrieve and analyze data from electronic storage devices, like desktop
and laptop computers, network servers, external storage drives, flash drives,
digital cameras, smart phones such as the iPhone or Android phones, and more.
All data retrieval methods used by ICS are complaint with all federal and
Maryland state laws, so any data recovered will be available to use as
evidence. In addition to recovering
emails, instant messages, and text messages, ICS also offers virus and spyware
detection and removal, pornography detection, email tracing, computer and
network intrusion detection and prevention, Internet history evaluation, and
hidden files detection. Contact ICS
today to ensure that your data and digital devices are safe. ICS can help protect you from the increasing
threat of identity theft.
Technical
Surveillance Countermeasures
Technical
Surveillance Countermeasures are steps taken to detect and prevent unwanted
surveillance. Technical surveillance
often takes the form of eavesdropping by bugging a house, tapping a phone line,
or installing hidden cameras, with the intention of committing corporate
espionage, privacy invasion, extortion, identity theft, information theft, or
stalking. Being the victim of technical
surveillance can endanger your personal safety, and leaves you vulnerable to
potential financial damages. To ensure
that you haven’t fallen prey to technical surveillance, ICS will perform a
technical surveillance countermeasures sweep, which consists of sweeping for
bugs, performing a physical and electronic inspection of the area to check for
infrared, laser, audio recording, hidden cameras, wireless microphones, radio
transmitters, phone taps, GPS tracking, and cell phone interceptors. A technical surveillance countermeasures
sweep is not an investigation in itself, but rather is a service offered by
ICS; if evidence of illegal surveillance is found, ICS will collaborate with a
Nevada private investigator to report findings and take appropriate action.
