Skip-tracing investigations refer to those missing persons cases in which someone intends to go into hiding or leave town to avoid fulfilling an obligation. Owing money or facing legal action are common examples of the motivations for attempting to skip town. This is why L.A. private investigators refer to these missing persons as “skips” and the investigations to find them as “skip tracing.” Experienced California private investigators such as Kinsey Investigations offer skip tracing services to individual and corporate clients if they suspect someone has “disappeared” to avoid paying a debt or settling another obligation. Time is of the essence when it comes to locating a missing person in Los Angeles or elsewhere in California. This is true for both skip tracing as well as cases of a child or vulnerable adult disappearing. Kinsey Investigations has a team of female private detectives with more than 20 years’ experience in skip tracing and other private investigation services. No matter the reason you suspect someone to be missing, giving us a call as soon as possible is your best chance of finding them.

Los Angeles detectives understand that while investigating an intimate partner may not sound particularly romantic, it can be just as important as any other step in getting to know someone. The unfortunate reality is that dishonesty in romantic relationships is all too common, ranging from minor exaggerations on dating apps all the way to cheating between spouses. Kinsey Investigations is an expert California private investigations firm with more than two decades of experience investigating intimate partner relationships. Unfortunately, our female private detectives have seen more than their fair share of that dishonesty, everything from online catfishing to clients finding out that their spouses had whole second lives (and families)! As with many different types of private investigations services, discovering the dishonesty of a current or potential partner is never happy news. However, if a premarital or other intimate partner investigation turns up information that saves our clients the heartache of deepening a doomed relationship, our female detectives can take comfort knowing they’ve helped prevent even worse outcomes, down the road.

Becoming a private investigator in the state of California requires drive and dedication. Before applicants can even apply with the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS), they must accumulate several thousand hours of professional investigative experience certified by their employer. Some types of educational degrees and some specialized professional experience in a few different fields may be used to reduce and/or count toward some of those hours, but for most prospective L.A. private investigators, they’ll need to find employment under a qualified manager (a specially-licensed detective) who can certify their professional hours over several years. Kinsey Investigations is a licensed and insured California private investigations firm with qualified managers who can help those interested in becoming private detectives. For more than two decades, we have guided many aspiring P.I.s on their path to realizing their dreams, and if you’re looking into becoming a Los Angeles detective, we can do the same for you.

Computer forensics investigations are requested by both individual and corporate clients for the purpose of finding and retrieving data. When a desktop or laptop computer suffers a major system error or a hacking or virus attack, it may become inoperable. If important data was stored on the machine’s hard drive and not backed up to secure cloud storage, retrieving files and other important information may become the work of a computer forensics investigator. Conversely, sometimes it’s not the computer, but its current or former user who has attempted to lock files or other data away from a romantic partner or an employer. In these cases, a computer crime investigator will use computer forensics skills to unlock the machine and retrieve what was hidden. Kinsey Investigations has extensive experience performing cyber forensics for both individual and corporate private investigations clients. Our L.A. private investigators have the computer forensics experience to assist in many different kinds of cyber forensics cases. If you need to uncover and/or retrieve data from any kind of computer, contact our firm first.

Not all private investigators working in Burbank, California have the same qualifications. An L.A. private investigator who spends most of their time in Long Beach cannot bring the same level of nuance to a Burbank private investigation as a private detective who’s spent decades working in Burbank and its neighboring communities.

Kinsey Investigations is a licensed and insured California private investigations firm offering a full catalog of private detective services to both individuals and businesses in Burbank and the surrounding area. Unlike some of our competitors, we’re extremely familiar with what living and working in Burbank is like as well as how it’s different from doing life elsewhere in the Los Angeles area.
