RDL Investigations & Consulting
Licensed Private Investigators · Confidential by Default

The facts, found quietly.

RDL Investigations and Consulting handles the inquiries people can't run themselves — fraud, due diligence, skip tracing — with the discretion of a firm that never talks about its clients.

Areas of Practice

Investigations, filed by type.

Every engagement is assigned a licensed lead investigator and a defined scope before fieldwork begins — no open-ended billing, no subcontracting.

SUR

Surveillance

Documented observation of a subject's activity, movements, and associations — including school residency checks — delivered as a timestamped report with photo or video evidence.

BGC

Background & Due Diligence

Deep verification on people and companies before you hire, invest, partner, or marry — beyond what a database search alone can tell you.

COR

Corporate & Workplace

Internal theft, fraud, harassment claims, and policy violations investigated quietly, and in a way that holds up if it goes further.

SKP

Skip Tracing & Locates

Finding people who don't want to be found, or who simply lost touch — debtors, missing family, witnesses, beneficiaries.

LIT

Legal & Litigation Support

Evidence gathering, witness statements, and process service for attorneys who need a field investigator they can put on the stand.

SEC

Security Consulting

Executive protection, workplace violence prevention, and event security planning — risk assessments and protective strategy built around your actual exposure, not a boilerplate checklist.

How A Case Runs

Four steps, start to close.

The same sequence for every engagement, regardless of size — so you always know what phase your case is in.

01

Confidential consultation

We talk through what you know, what you need, and whether an investigation is the right tool — free of charge and off the record.

02

Case plan & scope

You get a written plan: what we'll do, roughly how long it should take, and what it costs — before any fieldwork begins.

03

Investigation

Licensed investigators handle the fieldwork — surveillance, records, interviews — documenting everything to a standard that holds up under scrutiny.

04

Report & debrief

You receive a clear written report and a conversation to walk through it, plus guidance on what a reasonable next step looks like.
