Criminal Investigations In North Carolina

What Is a Criminal Investigation?

A criminal investigation conducted by a licensed private investigator involves systematically gathering, preserving, and analyzing evidence related to alleged criminal activity. Unlike law-enforcement detectives, private investigators work on behalf of private individuals, defense attorneys, corporations, and legal professionals to supplement official investigations, uncover additional evidence, locate witnesses, and build detailed case documentation.
