The best way to eliminate circumstantial evidence and to provide factual information that can be used as proof for personal settlement or for court cases is through the use of a camera. We use the latest digital technology in surveillance to provide the important information that our clients deserve. With a full staff highly trained and skilled in the field of surveillance, our success rate of capturing footage for clients has been most impressive: 97% percent of our case files have been captured on video camera. This is achieved not only through years of experience but through the excellence in surveillance knowledge, teamwork, and strong communication skills.
Pre-surveillance & Surveillance Vehicles
We do extensive research before conducting a surveillance to increase our overall effectiveness. We will do a surveillance of the property and look for a good place to conduct a stationary surveillance. In the preliminary process of conducting a surveillance, we gather information from every source possible on the claimants or suspects, everything from client-provided information to information gathered from the advanced search database to which our agency has full access. This information will be used to better assist our surveillance team as it conducts its sensitive, covert and careful job. This is very important as it saves time for the client and produces the most accurate results possible in a safe, controlled environment. Choosing a surveillance vehicle is a great example of an investigator doing his or her research on the claimant or suspect. The investigator must be ready to play a role and the vehicle must fit in with the scene. We have many vehicles fully loaded with sophisticated surveillance equipment. We will choose the right vehicle that best supports the effectiveness of the surveillance.
Covert Hidden Video Cameras
We have cameras that can be placed anywhere: bags, back packs, fanny packs, purses, TV's and VCR's, beepers, pens, cell phones, jackets, hats, daily planners, books, purses, bags, mirrors, teddy bears, sun glasses & cases. The imagination is the limit as to where we can place a camera.
Be in Touch with Your Case by the Client Log In System
Through use of our state-of-the-art technology, you can be in direct contact with field staff as the investigation is occurring. The case is recorded and video clips can be sent directly to your private on-line client account that we create for you, an account that runs from an encrypted server (no one but you will be able to see the case). You can get the information and video footage on your case, real-time, as it is unfolding. We will load videos straight from the field of operation into your account. All of our investigators can be contacted by e-mail, telephone and cellular phone. We strongly believe that you ought to be in touch with your case daily.
One thing to consider is that surveillance is not a perfect science and at times following vehicles are spotted or claimants are simply lost in pursuit. Even the most skillful investigator will lose a claimant while following them. Traffic lights, road construction, schools, fast drivers, weather and speed zones can all aid in losing a claimant. Even the best of investigators can be caught, but so can the police, the CIA and FBI. Surveillance is not a perfect science. However, with years of experience and being highly trained with surveillance techniques, Brooks Brothers Investigations has an excellent record of not being spotted. It is important to choose a professional surveillance service that has an impeccable success rate in surveillance operations, such as Brooks Brothers Investigations, also known as Des Moines Investigations, who has had great accomplishments in the field of surveillance and who has been regarded as the preferred Midwest detective agency for its overall success in surveillance operations.
In this video Detective Craig Brooks (president of Brooks Brothers Investigations) shares with TV 8 (KCCI)
some of his surveillance techniques and also
shows a few of his hidden cameras placed in alarm
clocks, coffee cups and behind mirrors. He gives a
brief overview of the life of a spy and talks about
doing surveillance in Des Moines.
