Corporate Fraud Investigations
Maintaining the reputation and integrity of your business is a key component to your long-term success as an organization. Breaches of trust – whether on behalf of your employees or clients – can result in significant loses that many businesses struggle to recover from. For this reason, our Corporate Investigation offering is designed to not only be reactive - helping you respond to suspicious behaviour - but also PROACTIVE. We work closely with our corporate clients to help you mitigate future breaches as your partners in risk management.
Quality Private Investigations is proud to specialize in Corporate Investigations tailored to the unique needs of Ottawa organizations within the Legal, Corporate, Insurance, Government, and Private Sectors. Serving as an “Undercover Boss”, our team of Private Investigators have helped these entitles improve day-to-day operations as well as secure quality evidence when corporate fraud, WSIB fraud, sabotage, or criminal/questionable behaviour is suspected.
Our team of former law enforcement professionals is highly skilled in providing leading Executive Protection services to our clients where necessary. Executive Protection specialists can provide a high-touch service beyond what is available by local law enforcement, identifying threats and offering round-the-clock surveillance and protection for a variety of corporate (i.e. CEO, VIP, Government Executive) or personal (i.e. cases of child or domestic abuse) situations.
All Ottawa Corporate Investigation services are completely customized to the needs, structure, and budget of each of the businesses and organizations we serve.
Family Law & Relationship Investigations
Obtaining evidence for the purpose of family law or infidelity allegations is an extremely niche form of investigation and should only be given to a firm you can trust who have the experience to back their promises for answers! Specializing in Family Law Investigations for over two decades, we are Ottawa’s industry leaders in uncovering hidden facts surrounding infidelity, substance abuse, child custody, divorce, fraud, hidden assets, and other legal issues.

The exclusive feature about our Star Quality Investigations Ottawa, is that you determine how much or how little you want to spend. We are proud to be the only Agency in Ottawa with an all-inclusive hourly rate for surveillance and investigative research, and we DO NOT CHARGE FOR KILOMETERS AND OTHER EXTRAS.

Absolutely. At Star Quality Private Investigations®, we are proud to be one of few Ottawa agencies licensed to sell and rent state-of-the-art GPS devices. They can be easily attached to a vehicle or property to collect real-time location data. To abide by Canadian Law, we always ensure that these devices are only used by customers who hold ownership of the tracked vehicle.
GPS Trackers are an extremely effective tool to monitor the whereabouts of a person in question should infidelity, questionable behaviour, or substance abuse be suspected. Some clients will also use these devices if living or working in an area with a high rate of car theft.
Private Investigators are highly trained and experienced in collecting time-stamped and legally obtained video footage or photography evidence that can be used within a court of law, or any other government body. We know better than anyone that video or photographic evidence doesn’t lie. If requested, all evidence can be accompanied by written reports supporting all findings. Where necessary, our team members can attend your court case to present our findings.
Other forms of evidence that can be gathered by our team of expert Private Investigators include witness testimonials, background checks, asset searches, and affidavits.
Traditionally, many Private Investigators dealt exclusively with civil investigations, therefore our exposure to the police was limited. Most of our clients suspect or know that the subject they want investigated, is, or could be involved in some kind of illegal activity and they would prefer not to involve police. No problem; our clients are always in the driver’s seat of their investigation, and you have the authority to determine who sees your collected evidence, including the police.
Other clients however, look to our Ottawa Private Investigation Agency and the experience of our team members for assistance in compiling an investigative package, so they can go to the police and pursue criminal action. When instructed by our clients, our Private Investigators, who are all former law enforcement detectives, do just that! We assemble a package with reports, photos, video footage and other evidence that yourself or your Investigator can take to your local police station. Star Quality Private Investigations® can deal with the Ottawa Police directly at the request of our clients.
Now more than ever, experienced Private Investigator agencies are requested to assist in gathering evidence for all types of investigations including family law, fraud, theft, abuse, missing persons and criminal cases. You can feel confident that our PIs have the skills and experience necessary to work in tandem with the police and have a longstanding relationship with Ottawa Law Enforcement.
