Corporate fraud investigations, covert surveillance, employee misconduct, insurance investigations and background screening — conducted by former SAPS detectives and licensed private investigators with court-admissible methodology.
PT Alarms Investigations Division comprises former SAPS detective officers, military intelligence operatives and licensed private investigators — individuals who know how investigations are conducted because they spent careers doing exactly that inside South Africa's law enforcement agencies.
Every investigation is led by a licensed PI, conducted lawfully, documented methodically and delivered with evidence packages that stand up in disciplinary hearings, civil litigation and criminal proceedings.
Every investigation type we handle — each one conducted by licensed investigators using lawful, evidence-grade methodology. If your situation is below, we can help.
Investigation of suspected employee theft, financial fraud, asset misappropriation, expense fraud and unauthorised transactions — producing evidence suitable for criminal charge or civil recovery.
Covert mobile surveillance, stakeouts and undercover observation — conducted by licensed investigators. Used to verify or disprove suspected employee misconduct, insurance fraud and disputed claims.
Workplace misconduct investigations — absenteeism verification, moonlighting, sabotage, sexual harassment and disciplinary matters requiring independent third-party investigation for CCMA proceedings.
Independent investigation of insurance claims on behalf of insurers and self-insured companies — arson, staged theft, inflated loss claims, fraudulent disability and worker's compensation fraud.
Pre-employment background screening, business partner vetting, directorship checks, criminal record verification, credential authentication and reference investigation for senior appointments.
Email forensics, social media investigation, data breach source identification, digital evidence recovery and cyber fraud tracing — producing evidence packages that meet South African digital evidence standards.
Evidence that cannot be challenged requires a methodology that cannot be faulted. Every investigation follows a documented, legally compliant process from opening to evidence delivery.
Client brief taken. Case objective, required evidence standard and lawful parameters established. Engagement letter signed.
Open-source intelligence, records research and preliminary subject profiling — before any active investigation begins.
Surveillance, interviews, document analysis or undercover operations — conducted by licensed investigators within legal boundaries.
Full written investigation report with timestamped evidence, chain of custody records and sworn affidavits where required. Court and CCMA ready.
The identity of every client and every subject is protected throughout the investigation. We do not disclose case details to third parties under any circumstances. Engagement letters include binding NDA provisions as standard.
All investigations are conducted lawfully. PT Alarms investigators do not use illegal surveillance methods, unlawful access, entrapment or any conduct that would render evidence inadmissible or expose the client to liability.
