As registered private investigators, SP & I (PTY) Ltd can be hired by individuals, groups or organizations to conduct investigations on their behalf. Private Investigators gather information, which often helps prove wrongdoing, fraud or other criminal activities. For example, businesses often employ a private investigator to help uncover misconduct, company theft or fraud, or general dishonest behaviour that could cause the company financial or reputational loss.

All our Private Investigators at SP & I (PTY) Ltd operate within legal and ethical boundaries. This includes respecting individuals’ privacy rights and adhering to relevant legislation such as the Protection of Personal Information (POPI) Act. Any evidence gathered unlawfully will not be admissible in legal proceedings.

As private investigators we may investigate the identity, actions, character, background or property of another person. Private investigation is one of the specialized subsectors in the South African private security industry and plays an important role within society. One of our objectives at SP & I (PTY) Ltd and of our Private Investigators, is to protect our client through gathering information, searching public or court records to uncover clues, conducting surveillance, collecting evidence to present in court or to a client, verify employment and income, check for civil judgements and criminal history and investigating computer crimes and information theft. Our private investigators play many roles in order to thrive within the industry. Our investigators are discreet in their line of work, as they need to protect our client, our company as well as themselves.

Another form of Private Investigation that we offer at SP & I (PTY) Ltd, is Insurance Investigations. Our Insurance Investigators examine insurance claims that are suspicious or otherwise in doubt. Some insurance companies have their own in-house investigation teams while other companies sub-contract the work to private investigation firms like SP & I (PTY) Ltd. Although such investigations are usually conducted to combat fraud, very often our investigators will be working simply to establish the circumstances of a particular claim (for example, in a multi-vehicular road accident involving various parties, claims and insurance companies).
