Specializing in one investigative service 👉 Higher-Level Physical Surveillance
Many professions have specializations within its practices. For example, medicine has cardiologists and orthopedics; attorneys have tax and environmental; nursing has critical care and pediatric. Private investigation also has specializations.
❝ Private sector Mobile Physical Surveillance on an alert subject is the most difficult investigative discipline to perform successfully on a consistent basis. Just as one would not use a primary physician for heart surgery, one should not use a generalist private investigator for a highly specialized investigative discipline such as private sector mobile physical surveillance.❞
What is Higher-Level mobile physical surveillance? It is a physical surveillance service that uses lawful high-tech equipment and Tier-1 level practitioners, and designed to provide highly effective, reliable and lawful mobile physical surveillance for high-stakes cases ⎯ where failure to discreetly conduct a mobile watch can result in significant evidentiary and information losses and/or unnecessary safety issues to a person or persons.
Private sector mobile physical surveillance is a specialty. That is why the FBI, CIA and other same type agencies have units whose personnel are dedicated to only conducting physical surveillance. For example, the Special Surveillance Group (SSG) of the FBI is their full-time dedicated physical surveillance unit consisting of practitioners that perform physical surveillance as a full-time job.

Why so many failures in mobile physical surveillance? Private sector mobile physical surveillance are the most misunderstood investigative discipline and most difficult to perform successfully on a consistent basis, hence the high failure rate. Nearly all assignment fails are due to a selection person choosing an unqualified mobile physical surveillance-investigation vendor. Poor decisions in selecting a qualified vendor for mobile physical surveillance-investigation can significantly impact an organization negatively. The negative impact may be related to reduced safety for employees during a threat of workplace violence, missed opportunities on game changing evidence in a lawsuit and/or exposure to unnecessary lawsuits due to the investigators unprofessional actions.
Since 1995, Mike Wolivar and associates have secured compelling winning evidence and favorable witnesses in hundreds of high-value litigated cases.
