Hiring a Private Investigator
Does it matter where your private investigator is located? When the file is in Canada, absolutely.
A database that works in Texas is useless in Terrace. Privacy laws are different. Court records are different. And surveillance on a logging road outside Kamloops has nothing in common with surveillance in downtown Vancouver.
At Kusic and Kusic, we’ve been doing this work in British Columbia for decades. We know the records, the rules, and the ground. That local knowledge is often the difference between an answer and a dead end.
British Columbia Isn’t One Place. We Don’t Treat It Like One
We have licensed investigators positioned throughout British Columbia, including Vancouver, Kamloops, Kelowna, Victoria, and other regions across the province. The locations and details matter to us when we are in the field.
For example, a surveillance operation needs to take into many variables which may include ferry schedules, mountain highways, rural properties, or weather that changes in 20 minutes. In a witness locate or interviews it is beneficial to know the community which can assist with getting you a conversation rather than a closed door.
Familiarity of the area, people, and publicly available records lets us work efficiently, discreetly, and safely. You don’t want someone learning BC on your file. You want someone who already knows it.
Canadian Records Require Canadian Knowledge
American search tools do not translate well to Canada. Our investigations regularly involve Canadian-specific sources: provincial and federal court records, corporate registries, Canadian public records, OSINT, surveillance, and investigative interviews conducted under PIPEDA and BC’s PIPA.
Whether we’re working for a Canadian business, law firm, insurer, private client, or a U.S. firm that needs eyes and ears on the ground here, our job is the same: clear, reliable, court-conscious information from investigators who understand the jurisdiction.
We know what we can access, what we can’t, and how to get it right.
When Your File Leaves Canada
Investigations rarely respect borders. When a matter extends to another province, into the United States, or overseas, Kusic and Kusic coordinates investigative resources in that jurisdiction. You keep one point of contact; we make sure the right investigator is in the right place.
We believe the strongest investigations put the right investigator in the right place.
