Hiring a private investigator for the first time can seem like a daunting experience, but by working with Gator Investigations, you can rest assured that you are receiving trustworthy, thorough, and considerate services. All private investigation agencies and their investigators must be licensed within Florida. Using a licensed agency, like Gator Investigations (license number A-1800034), ensures high standards. Licensed agencies and investigators must pass stringent background screening by the Florida Division of Licensing, including demonstrating years of verifiable investigative experience, undergoing state (FDLE) and federal (FBI) criminal records checks, and passing a stringent written examination.
We hold your information in the strictest confidentiality. Nothing is divulged to law enforcement, the subject of the investigation, or their lawyers, with extremely limited exceptions such as a court order.
