Government Investigations
Finding the truth in bureaucracy is challenging. ISS has decades of success.
In government, how you do something is often as important as what you are doing. A poorly executed investigation can lead to endless appeals, dismissal on technicalities, liability exposure or an entirely new case altogether. The decades of experience each ISS professional investigator brings to the table ensure that the truth will be uncovered in an effective and defensible manner. Uncovering facts while navigating the bureaucratic landscape of government is something that can only be learned by experience. ISS can guide you through the entire process, and provide you with actionable information in plain English.
The ISS team is comprised of former law enforcement, up to and including Chiefs of Police. This background gives us unparalleled insight into the interpersonal and political minefield of government investigation. Our ability to gather information while maintaining the respect and integrity of the institution sets us apart from other investigators.
The Devil Is In The Details
