BACKGROUND INVESTIGATIONS/PRE-EMPLOYMENT SCREENING

Whether you need information regarding a potential renter, employee or a personal relationship, WPI will obtain that information from the best sources available. Each request is different and will determine the amount of time spent on each case. We will obtain in-depth information from sources available to us. If a deeper, more thorough investigation is requested, we will personally visit government offices if needed and search records to obtain information not found in basic searches. We will also locate persons and conduct relevant interviews.
If a polygraph examination is requested, we can arrange that process with an experienced polygraph examiner. As with all of our investigations, at the conclusion you will be presented with an organized portfolio of our findings including any records obtained along with a thorough report.
