There are plenty of reasons to hire a private investigator. If you’re unsure if your situation calls for it, read on. Have you considered seeking out a private investigator for yourself, but you’re not sure if your reason is appropriate? The Top Five Reasons to Hire a Private Investigator 1. Infidelity You can hire a private investigator if you suspect that your spouse or partner is up to no good, or going behind your back. It can be hard to find this information on your own, and it can be useful in cases of divorce. Private detectives can collect proof for you so you no longer have to wonder. 2. Background Checks Are you worried about hiring people with a criminal history? What about a history that won’t come up with computer background checks? A private investigator will have you covered in this area as well. Even if things don’t show up on an official background check, you can rule out potential troublesome behaviors this way. 3. Child Custody Cases Child custody can get messy in court. Often times, there’s no real evidence on either side for the parents, and kids aren’t always given a say (or they’re too young to say anything at all). If you know that your former partner has something to be dug up that could be used as evidence, a private investigation will dredge it up. When working to protect your rights and the safety of your child, it’s best to spare no expense. A private investigator makes complete sense. 4. Missing People While the majority of missing persons cases get resolved one way or another, there are still people who go missing without a trace, never to be found. If you’ve lost faith in law enforcement, or your local police force is overburdened with other cases, enough to let yours slip through the cracks, a private investigator can help. Missing people are often a low priority for police. A private eye can find anyone, even people who don’t want to be found. 5. Fraud Is your company losing money? Are you relatively certain that there’s some fraud or embezzlement going on, but you have no way to prove it, or even begin to find a suspect? Businesses lose $50 billion dollars per year due to white-collar crime. Don’t let yourself continue to fall victim. If you find yourself in this position, a private investigator can help quickly and efficiently, gathering evidence for you to take to the authorities. A Private Investigator Can Help You If you need some investigation work done and the police aren’t quite the right place to turn, you might be looking for a private investigator. No matter what information you need to be dug up, you can find someone to help you. For more information on private eyes, or to find out how to get in contact with one, contact us. We can help you.

For the past twenty-nine years, Worldwide Intelligence Network has conducted hundreds of Nanny – Child Care background investigations for our clients in Los Angeles. Also, and at the request of a Nanny- Child Care Placement Agency in Los Angeles, Worldwide Intelligence Network was retained to tutor their counselors on how to conduct background investigations on their nanny-child care applicants. Most important to the owners of the agency was their concern over how they can determine when checking references whether a former employer’s reference is legitimate or bogus. We tutored the owners along with their counselors on how to differentiate between a real and a bogus reference. Our tutelage enabled the agency to successfully place highly qualified nanny-child care providers while preventing unqualified applicants from being placed.

You unexpectedly find yourself in a precarious situation, and you realize you definitely require the services of a Private Investigator. You’re not quite certain how to go about finding the right Private Investigator for your needs. What qualifications should you seek? What will it cost? How reliable will the Private Detective be? Not to worry, we understand and, we’re here to help you. The following will undoubtedly answer most of your questions and also provide you with some questions you may not have considered. HOW TO BACKGROUND CHECK A PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR’S REPUTATION Upon finding Private Investigation companies, you believe might be a good fit for your needs. Your next step is to conduct a cursory background check on those at the top of your list. As an example of a qualified company, let’s look at the Worldwide Intelligence Network. It appears they are ranked among the Top Five Private Investigative Companies in America by the publishers of Vogue and The New Yorker magazines. How long a Private Investigator has been in business is very important. Worldwide Intelligence Network has been a licensed and insured Private Investigation company for the past twenty-nine years in California. CHECK IF STATE AGENCIES REQUIRE PRIVATE INVESTIGATORS TO BE LICENSED. It is very important to find out if the Private Investigators you are researching are licensed. A Private Investigator license is mandatory in most states throughout the USA. To obtain a private investigator’s license requires a criminal background check. To qualify for a Private Investigator’s license, some states require the applicant to have apprenticed with a licensed PI for a certain number of hours. The applicant also has to pass a written examination. Law enforcement officers only have to pass the State’s written examination. Passing a Private Investigator’s test requires a sufficient amount of study time as it is a challenging test. HOW TO CHECK A PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR’S LICENSE State licensing divisions for Private Investigators are obtainable online in most states. Here is Worldwide Intelligence Network’s California Private Investigator licenses.   REPUTATION IS EVERYTHING The most valuable asset for a personal service business such as a Private Detective Agency is its reputation. Take a moment or two to review what authentic client accolades look like. It is also important to know if a Private Investigative Company is a member of a Better Business Bureau with an A+ rating. YOU ARE ENTITLED TO RECEIVE A WRITTEN RETAINER AGREEMENT Ask the Private Investigator if he/she will provide you with a written retainer agreement that will clearly state the assignment you requested, and the amount of the fee you required. The retainer agreement should also state that all of the Private Investigator’s efforts will be legally compliant. Read your retainer agreement carefully to make certain it represents what investigative services you requested. The retainer agreement should also state that the fee being charged cannot be increased under any circumstance, except if it is authorized in writing by you. THERE ARE MANY OF THE SERVICES OFFERED BY PRIVATE INVESTIGATORS Take a moment or two to look at these services over to see if what you require is among them. Surveillance Investigations: Surveillance is the most requested service from a Private Investigator. It also happens to be one of the most difficult assignments to accomplish. It requires a lot of patience and observation skills. There are a huge number of Private Detectives offering surveillance services, and you should inquire as to how long they or their employees have been conducting surveillance assignments and ask if they will take a video every hour on the hour of their location and of course video of your subject’s activity. Ask if you will receive a copy of the video taken along with a written report. A top-notch surveillance investigator usually has thousands of hours of field experience along with state of the art video equipment of which includes covert video devices. The most requested surveillance assignment is conducting Infidelity-Cheater Surveillance. Other surveillance assignments are: following a questionable employee to make certain they are doing their job, surveilling a competitor’s activity and surveillance of an employee who appears to have filed a questionable injury claim that occurred while working at their job. Millions of dollars are spent each year conducting Workers’ Compensation fraudulent claim surveillance investigations all across America. Locate People You Need To Find: A private investigator should have several years of investigative experience along with the best sources and methods to locate a missing person, a missing relative, a lost love, a runaway child, and difficult to find a witness for an attorney. Worldwide Intelligence Network has a 95% success record for locating people over the past twenty-nine years. Legal Investigations: It takes years of investigative experience to properly learn how to conduct an investigation assigned by an attorney. Legal issues are complex and the Private Investigator should be fully briefed by the attorney-client to understand the matter at hand. The Private Investigator must not attempt to acquiring information illegally as it will reflect poorly for the attorney. The best investigative results are usually accomplished when working under the supervision of a superb attorney. Clients requiring a private investigator with legal investigative experience should ask the private investigator about what kind of legal investigations they performed. It is perfectly fine to ask the Private Detective for references from their attorney clients. Below are real testimonials from the Worldwide Intelligence Network‘s attorney clients. I recall three separate investigations you made major contributions to our clients. Your work on an international litigation matter and the location of a significant witness immediately assisted us in obtaining the most positive result. Your finding of sequestered documents during a California matter resulted in extraordinary evidence for our client, and your location of substantial sums in hidden assets helped us to convince the defendants to agree to a favorable settlement – Martin R Pollner Loeb and Loeb Notwithstanding your last minute retention, you immediately grasped the rather complicated legal principles in issue in this first impression criminal trademark

Did you know that Kylie Jenner spends $400,000 per week on her personal security? Not so long ago, a fan found himself in the headlines after throwing a chair through one of Rihanna’s windows of her home, he was insistent that he was her husband and admitted that it was not the first time that he had been inside her property. With stories like this, detailing close calls when it comes to celebrity security, protecting celebrities is serious business. Here’s an insider look at celebrity security that will make you see stars & their bodyguards in a whole new light. Social Media Is Dangerous Social media has made celebrity bodyguards’ jobs much harder. With social media platforms, fans seem to get the idea that they’re having a direct conversation with their favorite star which can lead to a skewed perception that there is an actual relationship.Social media blurs the lines between what is real and what is not, encouraging crazies to tap into location-based social media posts and thus becoming an actual physical threat. Bigger Is Not Better When one thinks of a bodyguard, we tend to have visions of buff, muscled, large-shouldered men who have intimidating heights towering over their celebrity clients. But alas, bigger is not always better.There’s a lot more to protecting a celebrity than having big muscles. Smarts go a long way when assessing potential threats so brawn won’t get you all the way. It’s Not Glamorous You may think that bodyguards live a luxurious life because they’re always where the celebrities are. But this is not the truth.Celebrity security details may live in the home of a star, or get to attend high-level events, but they’re there to do a job and don’t get to enjoy the five-star perks that come with the places they’re in. Bodyguards Create Efficiency The right bodyguards know that their job is to scope out venues beforehand, so they’re in the know with directions, routes and back entrances.Knowing these things in advance can help celebrities get through busier days more efficiently. There’s Little Concept Of Time A celebrity bodyguard works in a world that has little to no concept of time. A trip halfway across the world can come at a moment’s notice, making it hard for a bodyguard to maintain a normal life at home.You have to be prepared to drop everything at the snap of fingers. Some Celebrities Are Downright Insane In the nicest way possible, you get some celebrities that are genuine people and mostly reasonable. However, you do get some clients that are downright insane with the way they treat the staff around them.You may be doing one thing right one day, and the very next day it’s not appropriate. A celebrity bodyguard is always kept on his toes. Blurred Lines Of Responsibility The thing about being in a celebrity’s daily life is that the lines can get blurred as to what you’re there to do. If your job isn’t outlined in black and white before you get started, a bodyguard can find himself carrying suitcases, walking dogs, or even picking up children from school.A member of a celebrity security detail needs to know exactly what his job description is. Celebrity Security: Lifestyles Of The Rich And Famous While the life of celebrity security personnel may seem like an attractive one, it does come with a certain amount of stress and pressure. A bodyguard needs to be on his toes at all times, be aware, and most of all, be prepared for anything to happen. Need to know what to look for in a bodyguard, read this.

It is  unusual for a Los Angeles Private Investigators to be retained to find out who broke into a client’s US Post Office Box in Cabazon, California. Normally the United States Postal Inspector would investigate such a crime. The victims being our clients were husband and wife, showed us unauthorized charges adding up to thousands of dollars charged to their credit cards. Their end of the year 1099 forms were also taken, enabling the thieves to acquire their social security numbers that the thieves used to apply for more credit cards and the thieves directed the delivery of the credit cards to their own Post Office Boxes. Their local Sheriff was not making much progress, hence our services were requested. A Very Organized Client  Fortunately, the clients were well organized and had prepared a detailed accounting of the fraudulent charges, including the dates of the charges, the amount of the charges and where the credit cards were used. Our private detectives have conducted investigations relating to embezzlement and robbery all over the world. This particular investigation concerned us because it involved a robbery that occurred inside a United States Government Agency and we are not government agents, nor do we have the authority of government agents. Challenging, it certainly was. Our first objective was to visit the stores where the most recent fraudulent charges were made. We were concerned the managers of the stores would not allow us to view their video footage citing the privacy rights of their customers, not to mention the fact we had no search warrant. Upon explaining what happened to our clients, we were delighted when a manager allowed us to view the store’s video footage. The accounting system used by  this particular store was ideal; all the store manager needed was the name of the cardholder, the credit card number, the transaction date, and the amount of the sale. To our amazement, that information brought up a video of the moment the fraudulent cards were presented at the checkout counter. We were able to see three suspects presenting the stolen credit cards to the cashier as they went through the checkout counter. We also obtained video footage of the suspect’s license plate number as they pulled out of the parking lot.  Our investigators phoned in the plate number to our  office staff at Worldwide Intelligence Network, who in turn acquired the name of the registered owner. Addresses are not provided to anyone who is not law enforcement by California Law. Our staff then ran a locate investigation on the registered owner’s name, and they acquired an address for the suspect in Fontana, CA.  Our surveillance investigators were given photos of the three suspects and were assigned to surveil the address in Fontana. After two days of around the clock surveillance, none of the suspects were observed nor was the vehicle they were driving. Next Step Meet With Law Enforcement  Our next step was to go to the Fontana Police Department hoping they had the license plate on record in their database that could provide us with an address for the suspects. The  Fontana Detective after being shown the evidence, we had agreed to run the plate number. We got really lucky; a patrol officer stopped the suspect’s vehicle for a minor violation in Fontana. A citation was issued and of course it had the suspect’s address. The Detective could not lawfully give us the address but knowing we  now had a viable address, our next step was to meet with a United States Postal Inspector assigned to the San Bernardino County district office. The US Postal Inspector was very accommodating and most interested in what we had accomplished. She checked her databases and found that there had been multiple break-ins of US Post Offices Boxes throughout Riverside and San Bernardino Counties.  Multiple victims were involved and tens of thousands of dollars were charged to their stolen credit cards. Then the US Post Office Inspector ran the suspect’s name through NCIC, the National Criminal Information Center  We’ll never forget the expression on the US Postal Inspector’s face when the suspect’s name popped up on her computer screen. The suspect had just been paroled from a Federal prison for the exact same crime he committed upon our client and all of the other victims. FBI- US Postal Inspector- the United States Assistant Attorney Joined the Investigation A United States Assistant Attorney issued a Search warrant for the suspects’ address. A raid was initiated upon the suspects’ home by the FBI and US Postal Inspector. Once inside with the suspects were handcuffed and taken into custody, a treasure trove of merchandise purchased with the stolen credit cards was secured as evidence. Suspects Identified   As we already knew, the ring leader was recently paroled from a Federal Prison for the identical crime he committed against our client and dozens of other victims. His accomplices were his wife, adopted daughter, and his daughter’s heroin-addicted boyfriend. The entire gang was found guilty and sentenced to serve out their terms in a Federal Prison. Our client was delighted we solved the case. All in a day’s work, as they say.  

When you suspect that your spouse is being unfaithful, it can eat away at you until you can’t think about anything else. Suspicion isn’t enough for most to end a committed relationship, but no one wants to continue on with a partner they don’t trust. Trust is absolutely everything that holds a marriage together. How to Catch a Cheater: It’s important for your future and for your mental sanity that you find out the truth. People are often reluctant to immediately hire a private investigator when they suspect cheating but there could be signs in your relationship that you need to dig a little deeper. HERE IS A LIST OF THE SERVICES WE PROVIDE Infidelity Investigations Cheating Spouse Investigations Surveillance Investigations Civil and Criminal Investigations Locate Investigations Executive Background Investigations Employee Misconduct Workers’ Compensation Fraud Keep reading to learn how to catch a cheater and what you can do to learn the truth and finally put your suspicions behind you one way or another! What’s Changed? The biggest thing that tips people off to a cheating partner is usually a change in their behavior. While men are more worried about and feel more betrayed by physical cheating (having sexual contact), women tend to be more upset by the emotional betrayal of infidelity. No matter which part of a partner straying is worrying you, you owe it to yourself to find out what is really happening. They say hindsight is 20/20 but if you stop to put all the signs together, you’ll realize all the small things actually amount to some major differences. Change in Appearance If your mate is suddenly taking much better care of themselves and their appearance, you might be wondering why. There are some indicators that these changes could be due to having a new love interest. When a spouse starts wearing new clothes that seem out of their comfort zone or they are suddenly more particular about hygiene before going out alone could be a red flag. They may start watching what they eat or have a new interest in working out and getting into better physical shape. Change in Behavior It’s not just how good they look that changes when someone is being unfaithful. Often there are blatant signs of cheating in the changes in their personality or behavior. They may start picking fights so they have a reason to leave or can ease their conscience regarding their infidelity. Some individuals will be more attentive and affectionate when they are home. Bringing gifts or flowers out of the blue. This too is often due to feeling guilty for cheating. Working late or unexplained absences, long hours when they can’t be reached, and new excuses for trips out of town are telltale signs that something might be going on. Change in Privacy Settings If someone has something to hide they usually start taking steps to make sure they do. New passwords on their phone or computer, changes in privacy settings on social media or new profiles. Check their phone for new contacts that don’t provide details about who they are for. You may also want to check the phone call history and text messages they’ve sent and received. Most people who are cheating know how to hide things better than that though. There are apps that hide conversations and communication so be sure to check for unrecognizable apps that seem to be new. Checking Up on Them You don’t want to spend your life following them around and checking every move they make but if you still suspect you’re being cheated on, it’s in your best interest to find out the truth. If you are still questioning your spouse’s fidelity, you may want to consider having them investigated so you can learn the truth. The Experts Know How to Catch a Cheater You don’t have to turn into Dick Tracey and do the leg work yourself. In fact, it can be almost impossible to know for sure how to catch a cheater when you’re the one being cheated on. If you’re still worried about your relationship, connect with us. We’re experts in private investigation and we know how to catch a cheater so you can sleep better knowing the truth.

For the past twenty- eight years, Worldwide Intelligence Network has been providing highly skilled Professional Bodyguards for dignitaries, politicians, high net-worth individuals, executives, celebrities, and the general public. Knowing which Bodyguard, aka a Personal Protection Agent, is best suited to protect you and those closest to you is a vital decision. Making the wrong choice could negatively impact you and your family forever. All too often, people seeking protection assume a big nasty looking male will deter someone intent on harming them. Unfortunately a huge scary-looking male without the proper training and experience is apt to cause more trouble than they prevent, and you as the client could wind up on the wrong end of a lawsuit. A Professional Bodyguard’s primary duty is to keep their client safe and avoid a confrontation at all costs rather than mixing it up with a hostile individual. The primary responsibility of your Bodyguard is to familiarize themself with your surroundings; be it while you’re at a conference, hotel, restaurant, a venue, airport, or a train terminal. Your Bodyguard should learn where all the exits closest to you are and be ready to immediately remove you from any unforeseen incident. Your Bodyguard should continually monitor persons with you or in and around you for any unusual or sudden movements toward you. Whenever our Bodyguards are provided with advance information on the client’s itinerary for a day, week, or month they will conduct an advance survey on all of the locations where the client is going,and they’ll learn where the nearest emergency facility is and whether the location(s) the client will be visiting is known to be safe. For the past twenty-eight years Worldwide Intelligence Network has maintained an outstanding safety record on behalf of our clients all over the world without a single client injured, robbed, or kidnapped on our watch. Should a client receive a threat of any kind, our international investigative division will immediately initiate a thorough and, if necessary global background investigation on the perpetrator, and we will work closely with law enforcement whenever necessary.

I’ve been a Private Investigator in Los Angeles for twenty-eight years and have investigated several challenging criminal investigations but none quite as challenging as this one. What you are about to read might resemble the preface to a crime novel, but this is a true story about how I, as a Private Investigator, was tasked with uncovering the truth against insurmountable odds. LOS ANGELES PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR VS. US GOVERNMENT     Author; Robert Mann, Director of Worldwide Intelligence Network HERE IS A LIST OF THE SERVICES WE PROVIDE Infidelity Investigations Cheating Spouse Investigations Surveillance Investigations Civil and Criminal Investigations Locate Investigations Executive Background Investigations Employee Misconduct Workers’ Compensation Fraud INTRODUCTION Upon meeting the subject of this article, which became my client (herein referred to as Steve), the first words out of his mouth were he reluctantly pled guilty to bribing a  Special Agent for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Steve owned a very successful freight forwarding and redistribution business. His warehouse was enormous at 500,000 square feet, located in Dominguez, California, on the outskirts of Compton. He employed about a hundred people. WHY AM I HERE? I was more than curious to know why Steve requested my services since the cow already left the barn. “What would you like me to do for you,” I asked. He handed me sixty pages of exculpatory evidence the US Justice Department turned over to him and asked that I, please review them. I asked who his attorney was, and he told me he decided to plead guilty after retaining three different top Los Angeles’ criminal attorneys that cost him approximately $350,000. All three told him he would be better off entering a guilty plea rather than to go up against the US Justice Department. I thought what the heck, I drove an hour to get to Dominguez Hills from Century City, and rush hour was in full swing I might as well take a look. Steve provided me with a private room to review the government’s documents, and what I found in those pages blew my mind. THE ANONYMOUS TIP All sixty pages were on INS letterhead (Homeland Security had not been formed yet), and they all appeared to be written by someone who did not have an academic command of English. The author appeared to be educated outside of the United States. The first page was titled “Anonymous Tip,” which stated that Steve employed about three hundred illegal aliens and was paying them under the table to avoid payroll taxes. It also stated Steve was paying off US Customs Agents to gain more random truck inspections for his company. Steve told me that he was a vetted/approved USA Independent Contractor for the United States Customs office. The anonymous tipster further alleged Steve was transporting illicit drugs in his company’s trucks all across America. Other pages pertained to various investigative assignments allegedly conducted by INS Agents, all initialed by an alleged INS supervisor. Each page had those initials in the same place on each page. The assignments supposedly approved by the INS Supervisor were surveillance of Steve’s warehouse along with several undercover investigations in and around the warehouse to identify all of the alleged illegal aliens working for Steve, under the table. The supervisor’s initials appeared to be copied and pasted on each page. The anonymous note ended with a statement saying that the person calling in this anonymous tip would be willing to testify if asked. So much for it being “an anonymous tipster.” The government’s entire case hinged upon information provided by INS Special Agent Avestro, who alleged the entire investigation, was initiated by an anonymous tipster. A GLIMMER OF HOPE I have conducted hundreds of document examinations over twenty-eight years and developed an innate ability to identify certain aspects in a document that is questionable. I had no doubt those sixty pages were all bogus. I told Steve his only course of action was to try and have his guilty plea withdrawn, which was no easy task. I recommended two partners at Loeb & Loeb law offices for whom I’ve done a considerable amount of investigations for. Both attorneys were former prosecutors at the State and Federal levels. I told the Loeb & Loeb attorneys my interpretation of the government’s documents. Steve told me that not one of the three attorneys he retained wanted to review any of the sixty pages. The Loeb lawyers met with Steve and agreed to take on his case after reviewing Steve’s plea. They filed a motion in Federal Court to withdraw his guilty plea and requested Steve to proceed to trial. MOTION GRANTED Loeb lawyers and the AUSA appeared before US District Judge Terry J. Hatter. The motion to withdraw Steve’s plea was granted. A trial date was set. THE IMPETUS – WHY THIS HAPPENED I learned Steve and his brother dated two Filipina women who were in Steve’s employ. Over time, both Steve and his brother David ended their relationship with their respective girlfriends, which evolved into the two women becoming unhinged. They turned to a mutual Filipino friend who was a Special Agent for the INS named Avestro. The women told Avestro how badly the brothers treated them, and they wanted to teach Steve a lesson by destroying his business. I sat with Steve and David conducting in-depth interviews for days to learn everything that transpired from their first date to their last dates with two scorned women. The brothers explained that Avestro began hanging around the warehouse all the time, acting like a good friend of two ex-girlfriends. I interviewed many of Steve’s employees, especially those who were knowledgeable about the two Filipina ladies lifestyle. The more I heard, the stronger our case became. I learned that Steve’s former attorneys hired private investigators to interview the two ex-girlfriends and other employees who might be helpful to Steve. Not a single employee would speak with those investigators. During my investigation, I interviewed all of the crucial witnesses. Failure in my mind

Private Investigating Professionals are here to help It’s understandable how some people rationalize that they alone can investigate and solve their disconcerting issue. Many people like to figure things out on their own, to discover the truth through their own eyes, but depending upon the seriousness of their issue things can spiral out of control, and one of those folks might find themselves involved in something they are ill-equipped to handle. Depending upon the circumstance of their particular issue, it can become rather dangerous to conduct their own investigation if it turns into an unpredictable horror show. When anyone experiences a disturbing issue it usually causes a degree of emotional turmoil, and trying to figure it out by acting as their own private investigator can be hampered because the injured party is too close to the situation. Believing they can conduct a completely logical, legal, and unbiased investigation is somewhat unreasonable.   Why Use Private Investigating Professionals Imagine that your spouse is cheating and you’re confident you can catch them in the act without creating a heated and possibly a brawling confrontation. Don’t delude yourself it’s a lot harder than you think to suppress your inflamed emotions which could turn into a violent domestic dispute. Be smart and leave this to a private investigating professional Infidelity Private Investigator. Highly regarded professional private investigators commence an investigation by remaining neutral, non-emotional, and focused on obtaining the truth and achieving the objective of their assignment. An experienced private investigator knows that more often than not, some clients do not always reveal all that they know for various reasons. Some of those reasons might be: they’re embarrassed, they don’t fully trust the investigator with knowing too much about them, or they do not want what the investigator learns to include what they (the client) are hiding. There is no college course or private academy to teach someone the “how-to” when it comes to investigating hundreds of various investigative scenarios taking place in any city or town like Los Angeles. It takes years of professional investigative experience to conduct an investigation, to know how to deep dive into specialized research, and to have highly reliable confidential sources. When a private investigator sets out to conduct an assignment they all share one common denominator and that it “the challenge” they are about to experience. So when it comes to taking matters into your own hands, think twice about the importance of having a licensed professional private investigator take care of your situation if you want it done properly and legally.   Worldwide Intelligence Network is proven credible.  We believe you will find comfort in knowing you have one of the finest private investigating professionals in America at your disposal.
