Private Investigations and Security in New York City
From our Midtown Manhattan office, Strategic Investigations and Security serves all five boroughs. Below you will find how our work differs in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island.
New York City moves fast, and so do we. Our team includes active and retired law enforcement professionals who know the city's neighborhoods, buildings and transit, which matters when a case depends on following someone discreetly or securing a busy location.

Built for the Way New York City Works
Dense neighborhoods, constant foot traffic and high-value businesses shape how investigations and security work here.
Surveillance in a crowded city
Following a subject on foot, by subway or by car in New York takes experienced investigators. Our surveillance team plans for the city's traffic and transit.
Retail and commercial security
Stores, office lobbies and construction sites across the city use our armed and unarmed guards for theft deterrence and access control.
Events and VIP visits
From premieres to private parties, we provide event security and executive protection for New York's busy calendar.
Private Investigators Across the Five Boroughs
Every borough brings different cases. Here is what clients in each one most often ask us for.
Manhattan
Midtown, Financial District, Upper East and West Side, Harlem
Our office is here, at 1177 6th Avenue. Manhattan work leans toward attorney support for law firms, bug sweeps before sensitive meetings and executive protection for residents and visiting executives. More about Manhattan.
Brooklyn
Downtown Brooklyn, Williamsburg, Park Slope, Bay Ridge, Flatbush
New towers along the waterfront and in Downtown Brooklyn need construction site security, and stores on busy shopping streets use uniformed or plain-clothes guards. Families call us for custody surveillance and background checks on caregivers and new partners.
Queens
Long Island City, Astoria, Flushing, Jamaica, Forest Hills
With JFK and LaGuardia here, we often meet executives on arrival with security drivers and advance agents. Insurers and attorneys use our claims surveillance, and warehouses near the airports use our guards and theft investigations.
The Bronx
Riverdale, Fordham, Pelham Bay, Mott Haven, Parkchester
Property managers use our armed and unarmed guards for residential buildings and complexes, and distribution sites use covert cameras and employee theft investigations. Attorneys and families use our skip tracing to find witnesses, defendants and relatives.
Staten Island
St. George, Tottenville, Great Kills, New Dorp, Port Richmond
Staten Island is mostly residential, so cases here are often personal: infidelity and custody matters, background checks, and checking a home or car for hidden cameras or GPS trackers.
