International Investigation in Global Economy

At the outset of the industrial revolution people were dependent on village economies. The industrial revolution brought them to cities. Even before that the colonial expansions prompted adventurous folks to set up their enterprises on distant shores, across the oceans.
But it is only during the information technology age, the age of the Internet, when a business in say, Boston, can employ or due business with someone in Shanghai or Brazil without much fuss. You are collaborating with organizations and individuals half-way across the globe and the manpower is constantly hopping across continents for the sake of employment and new opportunities. The costs – both in terms of money and time – involved are humungous and you need to be sure that you can rely on those you are collaborating with. You need an international investigation agency that can carry out surveillance, corporate and individual due diligence, pre-employment screening, verification, and investigation exercises across the borders, on all the continents.
This is the reason why I take interest in whatever developments are taking place in the field of international investigation. In fact I’m so much involved with international investigation and screening that I’m on the board and an ambassador of the World Association of Detectives, the oldest and perhaps one of the most prestigious investigative and security associations in the world. It is an international association for private investigators and security service organizations. The association brings world-class investigative and surveillance know-how to its members and encourages them to promote and maintain the highest ethical practices in the profession of surveillance, investigation and security.
How does it help our clients at McLaughlin Investigative Group Inc.? First of all, as mentioned above it brings us to the level of international standards set by various investigative agencies throughout the world. Being one of its board members it becomes incumbent upon me to lead by example. Besides, in order to be a member of the WAD one needs to have a license, a minimum number of years of experience and a portfolio that defines an experienced and established investigative agency of repute. The association expects its members to strictly observe the principles of truth, accuracy and prudence.
Secondly, we are based in the USA. We have become the “local” investigator for our clients for all their international matters.
Our investigative, surveillance, verification, pre-employment screening, litigation and trial preparation and corporate investigation services are not limited within the confines of the United States. We run an international operation covering globe. Our investigative firm has successfully conducted investigations in over 90 countries. It doesn’t matter where your subject is placed at the moment.
I’m looking forward to attending its annual WAD conference scheduled to be held in Rio early September.
