What this service involves
Surveillance investigations involve discreet observation designed to document a subject’s activities, movements, behavior, associations, and patterns over time. Depending on the matter, this may involve stationary observation, mobile surveillance, activity checks, location verification, and documented photo or video evidence where appropriate.
At Royal Palm Investigations, surveillance is approached strategically. We focus on developing usable, relevant information that helps clients verify claims, confirm suspicions, challenge false narratives, or support legal and business decisions.
