Skip
Tracing
Locating people who are trying to hide
from the law, or have secretly fled without giving notice,
in order to avoid paying debts is our specialty. Furthermore,
finding people that are "Missing" for any number
of reasons can easily be accomplished by a skilled Skip tracer.
The reason that Skip tracers are capable of
finding almost any individual is that whenever a person goes,
they leave a "paper trail". We as Skip tracers utilize
our various resources to follow that trail and locate your
subject anywhere.
Why hire a Skip Trace Professional?
The reasons for Skip tracing can vary tremendously. The individual
may be avoiding paying debts, running from the law, avoiding
overdue child support or a law suit. Sometimes the reasons
for hiring a Skip tracer are to locate lost relatives or any
other need for contacting someone.
Information needed for a successful
Skip trace
Below is a list of information that will be of help to us
in our " Skip tracing" efforts. The more information
you have, the easier it will be for us to locate the subject:
- Individual's Name and any Aliases
- Spouse's Name and Maiden Name
- Last known Address (date valid)
- Any Previous Addresses (and dates valid)
- Last Known Telephone Numbers (and dates

Polygraph
Services
What
is a Polygraph?
The term "polygraph" literally means "many
writings." The name refers to the manner in which selected
physiological activities are simultaneously recorded. Polygraph
examiners may use conventional instruments, sometimes referred
to as analog instruments, or computerized polygraph instruments.
It
is important to understand what a polygraph examination entails.
A polygraph instrument will collect physiological data from
at least three systems in the human body. Convoluted rubber
tubes that are placed over the examinee's chest and abdominal
area will record respiratory activity. Two small metal plates,
attached to the fingers, will record sweat gland activity,
and a blood pressure cuff, or similar device will record cardiovascular
activity.
A
typical polygraph examination will include a period referred
to as a pre-test, a chart collection phase and a test data
analysis phase. In the pre-test, the polygraph examiner will
complete required paperwork and talk with the examinee about
the test. During this period, the examiner will discuss the
questions to be asked and familiarize the examinee with the
testing procedure. During the chart collection phase, the
examiner will administer and collect a number of polygraph
charts. Following this, the examiner will analyze the charts
and render an opinion as to the truthfulness of the person
taking the test. The examiner, when appropriate, will offer
the examinee an opportunity to explain physiological responses
in relation to one or more questions asked during the test.
It is important to note that a polygraph does not include
the analysis of physiology associated with the voice. Instruments
that claim to record voice stress are not polygraphs and have
not been shown to have scientific support.
Who
uses Polygraph Examinations?
The three segments of society that use the polygraph include
law enforcement agencies, the legal community, and the private
sector. They are further described as follows:
Law
Enforcement Agencies
- Federal Law Enforcement Agencies, State Law Enforcement
Agencies, and Local Law Enforcement Agencies such as Police
and Sheriff's Departments.
Legal Community - U.S. Attorney Offices, District Attorney
Offices, Public Defender Offices, Defense Attorneys, Parole
& Probation Departments.
Private
Sector
- Companies and Corporations under the restrictions and limitations
of the Employee Polygraph Protection Act of 1988 (EPPA).
Private
citizens in matters not involving the legal or criminal justice
system.
Attorneys
in civil litigation.
