There are several types of background investigations. The specific needs for the investigation will determine which investigation is to be conducted. At Russell Investigations we offer the following types of background investigations:

Personal

The personal background investigation provides the client with general information in regards to the trustworthiness and character of an individual. The assigned investigator will secure the subject’s true identity, home address, source of income(s) and related information. This investigation may become more detailed to include real property and business ownership, driving history and financial data. This investigation may be detailed or general, depending on the needs of the client.

Pre-Employment Background Investigation

The liability for an employer to "hire responsibly" has increased greatly in recent years. One of the methods that an employer may employ, is to conduct an in-depth background investigation on all applicants. A Pre-employment background investigation is designed to determine the trustworthiness and character of an applicant. When a client request a background investigation, the investigator verifies the applicant’s personal identification, education, credit, employment history, criminal history and related information. The investigator researches the applicant to suit the specific needs of the client such as those which may effect a contractual agreement or company policy. This investigation may be basic or extensive as warranted by the clients needs and budgetary considerations, however, cost may be substantially reduced with multiple investigations conducted by Russell Investigations.

Narcotic Investigation

Russell Investigations has narcotic experts on staff to conduct such investigations with only the most reliable and defendable results.
