Database Searches:\u00a0 The Good, The Bad and The Ugly Part 2<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Ensuring you are paying for an investigation, not a search<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Good: <\/u><\/strong>Nowhere else will you find this much information compiled on one person, in the world.\u00a0 These database searches make a point of being as comprehensive as possible so that they can be your \u201cone-stop shop\u201d.\u00a0 We have found that the various database searches have their own strengths and weaknesses which is why we utilize several of these platforms in conjunction to make sure we have the best starting data to begin our investigations.<\/p>\n

\"investigativeDepending on the investigation we are conducting, will determine the database searches we use and what information we search for.\u00a0 In asset searches, we are worried about gathering a comprehensive residential history for a subject in order to search local records to determine if they own any real property, or if they recently sold or transferred their holdings.\u00a0 In a locate investigation we like to know what address the person is most recently associated with, where their vehicles are registered, and where their driver\u2019s license is registered.<\/p>\n

Databases:\u00a0 The Good, The Bad and The Ugly<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Bad: <\/u><\/strong>It is important to understand that, in many platforms, the database search results will change based on the search terms.\u00a0 If you simply run a Social Security Number, the results will only provide items that are matched to that SSN.\u00a0 If there are public records, like criminal records, tied to just a person\u2019s name and date of birth, these will not be present in a report run by SSN alone.<\/p>\n

We have also had records incorrectly associated to our subjects.\u00a0 If an investigator<\/a> had not performed the search and followed the necessary steps to verify the information, the client could be misled in the process.\u00a0 Some information has nothing but a name associated with it, and if two subjects\u2019 share the same name and have resided in the same, large apartment building this information could be associated with both people, but only really belong to one of them.<\/p>\n

Databases:\u00a0 The Good, The Bad and The Ugly<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Ugly: <\/u><\/strong>Depending on who is running the database searches, the platform used, and the search terms used the report will vary wildly.\u00a0 When your search is complete, you are provided a report that can be anywhere from 50 to 500 pages long.\u00a0 Some companies will simply put their cover page on top of this data report and sell it as a \u201cbackground check\u201d or an \u201casset search\u201d and mark up the price 500-1,000%.\u00a0 Do not let this exchange of data pass as an actual investigation.\u00a0 It will leave you with more questions than answers and ultimately have you running back to the investigator asking for more work, that should have been done in the first place.<\/p>\n
