Examinations may include such things as personal allegiance to the company, market influences or preferences, sexual behavior, financial integrity, alcohol/drug usage, psychological conditions, criminal conduct, outside activities. Candidates are also requested to provide access to social media platforms, fingerprints, and a complete DOJ criminal history. Former neighbors and colleagues are often interviewed.

Election Screenings

These research assignments focus on integrity, competence, consistency, and allegiance. Utilized for both elected and appointed government positions, the proposed candidate’s political history is carefully examined. Public documents are retrieved and examined for patterns of behavior or political leanings. Any prior civil or criminal history is closely examined (even minor traffic infractions) as well as campaign finance disclosures. If the candidate is running for elected office, all major donors are identified and carefully researched. Often times covert surveillance is also utilized.

Dossiers

Utilizing several investigative resources across multiple jurisdictions and disciplines, information is collected on a specific person or event. A dossier may take several months or even years to complete. Ultimately, a comprehensive collection of investigative reports detailing numerous records, events, historical details, activities, and surveillance, are compiled.
