Looking for Clues
Today’s private investigation business isn’t like television shows, mystery novels or movies! Rather, the investigation business is like sitting on the front row center in the stage of life. Atlanta-based Innovative Investigations combines the proven techniques from the past with today’s latest state-of-the-art equipment to solve cases quickly and efficiently. Furthermore, Innovative Investigations is one of the only husband/wife private investigating services in town and is owned by Jack and Theresa McSherry.
The McSherry’s have been private investigators for over 13 years and have seen the business, and laws governing private investigators change immensely. For example, a state board now governs investigative agencies. In addition, professional investigative agencies belong to several associations such as (GAPPI) Georgia Association of Professional Private Investigators and (NCISS) National Council of Investigation & Security Services, and ISPAG (Investigative & Security Professional Association of Georgia, Inc.). Innovative Investigations is a member of all of these associations and others. Also, private investigative agencies and their employees must complete a certain amount of continuing education units (CEUs), including ethics courses, every year to retain their licenses as do attorneys.
Innovative Investigations handles a wide variety of cases, and services are performed to the highest quality. More importantly, all cases are handled with extreme confidentiality. The agency’s client base ranges from corporate loss prevention/integrity to domestic/infidelity video surveillance, child custody, executive protection, insurance fraud, electronic debugging, missing persons, theft in the workplace, private and commercial video surveillance systems, finger printing, hand writing analysis, forensic identification, polygraph, database searches, civil/criminal investigations, computer forensics (Nothing can be erased, everything can be recovered!) and divorce specialists.
“Not only are you the client’s private investigator, but you’re also their psychiatrist, pastor, lawyer and friend,” says McSherry. And an advantage of having his wife as an associate is that she can go places where men can’t – i.e., ladies rooms. McSherry says his wife can find out more in 10 minutes in a women’s restroom about a client, than he can in two weeks.
Technology has immensely changed how private investigators do business, McSherry adds. For instance, he or his wife can do a huge amount of work in learning about someone, or tracking an individual, through various computerized databases. Furthermore, dual mobile and video surveillance is used at times on cases, especially in high volume cities such as Atlanta. Following someone in Atlanta rush hour is extremely difficult while trying to be covert so disguises, including costumes, wigs or multiple vehicles, are used along with state-of-the-art video technology and other professional electronic devices such as GPS tracking systems.
The day of the “private eye/window peeper” depicted in a variety of old, B-movies has long past. Today’s private investigator is a professional and expected to have a wide range of capabilities for research and data collection, and is expected to be able to compile information into a useable format that can assist attorney’s and clients, in establishing or defending a case.
