Private Investigation Services in Vancouver
Private Investigation Isn’t What The Movies Show You
​Many people think private investigators are like in the movies: trench coats, dramatic stakeouts, and hidden cameras. In reality, most investigations involve careful research, discreet observation, and thorough reporting. That’s especially true in Vancouver, where local laws and privacy rules are strict.
​
At Secured Property Group, our licensed investigators focus on facts, accuracy, and discretion. Whether it’s verifying a contractor’s history, investigating a potential insurance claim, or monitoring a suspicious situation in a condo or office, we take a professional approach that delivers results without unnecessary spectacle.
Clients often tell us they didn’t realize the work is as much about documentation, analysis, and careful planning as it is about observation. Understanding this is the first step in getting peace of mind without the drama.

Surveillance in the Vancouver Context
Surveillance is one of the most effective tools in an investigator’s kit, but it’s not glamorous. It’s long hours, careful observation, and detailed reporting. In Vancouver, surveillance can mean watching patterns at construction sites in Burnaby, monitoring retail activity in Richmond, or tracking behavior in busy neighborhoods like Kitsilano or Yaletown.
Our team is trained to blend in. Whether it’s parked in an unmarked vehicle near a property, walking through a crowded plaza, or sitting quietly outside a suburban residence, investigators know how to watch without drawing attention. And because every member of our team is certified and accountable, all reporting is done to legal standards. That way, the evidence you receive is admissible if needed.
For businesses that want an extra layer of visibility, pairing investigative surveillance with Concierge Services can cover both the behind-the-scenes work and the front-desk presence.
Why Choose a Licensed and Certified Team Led by Law Enforcement Experience
Not every investigation service in Vancouver offers the same credibility. Being led by a former police officer sets our team apart. That background means years of real investigative work, an understanding of criminal behavior, and a deep respect for evidence that will stand in legal settings.
Every member of our staff is certified, trained, and held to professional standards. That combination of leadership and certification ensures clients are protected both ethically and legally.
​
For property managers, that means better tenant screening and reduced risk. For corporations, it means faster resolutions before issues grow into lawsuits. For families, it means peace of mind when the truth feels out of reach.
​
When paired with services like Home Security or Janitorial Services, investigations become part of a larger support system that keeps properties and people safer.
​​​
