What is a Criminal Investigation?

Criminal cases are situations in which a person is charged formally by the government on behalf of the people. It isn’t the victim’s responsibility to bring forth a criminal case and sometimes there isn’t even a specific victim. The result of a criminal case is a sentence that could include a monetary penalty, imprisonment, or supervision in the community. Investigation methods are usually determined by the government rather than the individuals involved.

A criminal investigation is an undertaking that seeks, collects, and gathers evidence of a crime for a case or specific purpose. A criminal investigator looks for clues and evidence to determine whether a crime has taken place. If a crime has been committed, investigators may look into the background of the accused and try to uncover who committed the crime.

What is a Civil Investigation?

A civil investigation uncovers and assembles evidence necessary for a civil trial.
A civil trial is a type of court case involving two individual citizens who disagree on an issue that relates to their rights as citizens. For example, if one person sues another for damages cased by a domestic accident, the case will likely be conducted as a civil trial. Civil investigators are responsible for gathering the evidence essential to such a trial.

Civil Cases vs Criminal Cases

Though often confused, civil and criminal cases are different and are therefore investigated differently.

A civil investigation typically begins with analysis. A private investigator will meet with the person initiating the investigation in order to discuss the goals and budget of the investigation. The investigator will then conduct their investigation utilizing a variety of investigative techniques to gather relevant evidence. Depending on the individual investigation, they may use surveillance, background checks, forensic investigation, asset searches, witness examination, and other methods. The investigator will then discuss their findings with the client and, if needed, create an official report or act as an expert witness.

If you are going to be involved in a court case, a civil investigation may be essential. Unbiased proof can be the determining factor in any case. A private investigator can acquire this evidence in a professional and legal way.

Why Conduct a Background Check?

You may want to have a person submit to a background investigation before:

Criminal Background Check: The sole purpose of a criminal background check is to determine whether or not the person has a criminal record
Driving records, education and employment history, and more
Hiring a new employee
Taking on a new tenant
Making an investment
Hiring a nanny

There is no standard or routine background check. The investigation should be tailored to your areas of concern, reasons for finding out more, and your overall needs. Whether you're hiring a new employee, looking for a nanny, or are about to make a new investment, a background check can ensure the safety of everyone involved.

Working with an investigator is the best way to ensure that the information you receive is accurate and reliable. A background check investigator can also give you further insight about the person's character through interviews and looking into the person's professional and personal history.
