Surveillance may assist with:

Johannesburg presents particular operational challenges because of traffic, security-controlled developments, office parks and extensive metropolitan travel.
For this reason, surveillance assignments require careful planning rather than simply attempting to follow a person.

Our digital forensic services can assist with the examination of:
- iPhones
- Android phones
- Computers
- WhatsApp data
- Photographs and videos
- Social media evidence
