Background Checks with Surveillance: A Deeper Look at a Subject’s Behavior

A standard background check reveals facts. Surveillance reveals the truth behind those facts.

At New York Investigations, we go beyond traditional background screenings to offer a hybrid approach that combines verified records with real-world observation. Whether you’re hiring a key employee, entering into a relationship, or litigating a sensitive case, this deeper look gives you the confidence to act on solid, behavioral evidence—not just paperwork.

Why Pair Background Checks with Surveillance?

Public records and database searches are useful tools, but they don’t always reflect how a person acts in everyday life. A clean criminal history doesn’t rule out deception, hidden activities, or high-risk behavior.

By integrating discreet surveillance with our background check process, we uncover:

  • Lifestyle patterns and habits

  • Undisclosed employment or relationships

  • Suspicious behavior not reflected in public records

  • Signs of drug use, fraud, or deceit

  • Verifiable evidence to support or dispute claims

This method is ideal when behavior matters as much as history.

Common Scenarios for Enhanced Background Investigations

Our background check + surveillance services are especially valuable in cases involving:

✅ Personal Relationships & Online Dating

Make informed decisions before committing emotionally or financially. Verify identity, marital status, lifestyle, and possible red flags.

✅ High-Level Employment & Executive Screening

Go beyond resumes and references to uncover hidden behaviors, side businesses, or reputational risks that could affect your organization.

✅ Business Partnerships

Ensure the person you’re going into business with is who they claim to be—and that their behavior aligns with your expectations.

✅ Child Custody & Family Law

Gather evidence about a parent or guardian’s real-world behavior, home environment, and compliance with custody agreements.

✅ Fraud Investigations

Catch inconsistencies between what someone says and what they actually do, especially in insurance or injury claims.
