In the age of the internet, it's tempting to believe that finding information about someone is as easy as typing a few keywords into a search engine. However, when it comes to tracking down someone's contact information or whereabouts, relying solely on internet searches may not always yield the desired results. This is where the expertise of a private investigator can make all the difference.

This is a common question from many of my clients, and illustrates some very helpful reasons for having background checks done on ourselves in the first place. We, as private investigators, often get calls with an individual requesting a background check done on themselves if they have applied for several jobs and made it through the interview process and not been offered job once the background was performed. If that happens several times to an individual, it can leave the person feeling a bit paranoid and wondering what skeletons may be lurking in their digital closet.

If you've been considering hiring a private investigator in the Kansas City area, you have likely done your research on expected costs, timelines, and expectations. However, as an industry veteran of several decades and the CEO of one of the longest-running PI firms in the Kansas City area, I have some valuable advice to dispense to prospective clients.
