        Company facts and general information

When TSCM was formed, many of our standard services were typically unobtainable from existing local service providers. Our main focus included technical surveillance countermeasures, and covert video operations. We still provide premium technical services nationwide to various entities, agencies small businesses and Fortune 100 companies.

We began to accept  domestic cases because our resources and techniques enabled us to provide a quality work product for our clients attorney's.  Being extremely aggressive and resourceful. Government contractors recognized our capabilities, and began to utilize our resources to complement existing operations and training operations.

Interaction with US and state government agencies has been beneficial for some of our clients due to knowledge and experience gained with regard to law, policy, and procedure.

To meet new  demands, acquiring quality surveillance equipment,  conducting  research, development, and analysis of new equipment, processes, and consulting with subject matter experts we  develop solutions to overcome and address difficult barriers that are faced by the legal, law enforcement, and private sector communities

We listened to what our clients demanded, wanted, and needed.  Applications and techniques were redeveloped accordingly to address situations we are constantly faced with.. Laws and rules have been studied, we know where our boundaries are, and what our courts will and will not accept.

TN private investigator guidelines mandate continuing education. All  TSCM Group personnel typically exceed these requirements tenfold utilizing other educational resources that are specific to our areas of service, and other obligations we meet per client request.

The TSCM Group does not conduct investigations related to arson, accident reconstruction, workers compensation fraud, or forensic accounting. If you require these services we will gladly refer you to a competent qualified specialist in one of these areas.

We are licensed by The TN Dept of Commerce and Insurance, and are registered as a SBA Veteran owned small business.

The TSCM Group is  CCR/ProNet registered, and approved, to conduct business with DOE and the Federal Government, as well as the State of Tennessee, and Metropolitan Davidson County.

Make us your first call for fast efficient friendly service. We are result driven!

Helpful Info:

• Conducting a competent investigation is similar to building a custom home. It starts with a foundation and ends with completion. If a client interferes with the process, the project may not get completed on time, or may never get completed period. Time is our friend. When you spend time with someone, you will be quite surprised what you will find out.

• You get what you pay for when it comes to professional investigation services. Would you trust your child's welfare or business's future to someone who charges the same as what it costs to professionally detail your car?

• Working contingent ( free until something is obtained) is never a good option to take from any private investigator.

• We have a real office, with a real staff. This helps provide our clients with efficient service and resources. Maintaining subscriptions to a variety of non public databases that contain a wealth of information, enables us to acquire data rapidly. Our databases are not available to the general public.

• Someone who is fascinated by television shows related to crime probably does not know what an illegal transmitter or recorder is, nor do they have any idea of what evidence the courts will accept under rules established by the courts. Inexperience can cause irreparable damage. We only attempt to obtain what will work for you in court.

• It is impossible to obtain a thorough background check on someone for 29.00 dollars. Many internet data brokers provide minimal or confusing data. Usually this data is historic or "dated". One must understand how to read a report, and know what flags to look for that may indicate the need for further review.

• Some people want nothing more than your money. They will put hours into the case, but will never solve it. We work to solve the case by attempting to work efficiently, and not carelessly. Working a case that someone else has started, and has never completed is not uncommon to us.

• Surveillance is an acquired art that requires the use of many tricks, and techniques in the real world to be effective. Surveillance can be very passive or extremely aggressive. Every situation is different. People drive and behave differently. Even the best investigators can lose someone. Traffic lights and other conditions can create problems when running surveillance. Experienced investigators know what to do when something goes wrong. Sometimes it requires more than one investigator to run a successful surveillance.

• The best investigator on the planet is only as good as your attorney. It takes teamwork to win in court when an investigator is used.

• Don't believe what you see on TV. Hollywood does a wonderful job of making things look easy. We will never place our client, or opposing entity in danger by placing  them in the center of activity as it occurs.

• If one investigator suggests that something you are considering is illegal, and may cost you your case, don't do it.

• Before coming to us or any other investigator, BE QUIET and LISTEN. The element of surprise never exists when someone suspects they are under surveillance. People love to talk. Listen closely, then come to us with what you have.
