The truth about the misunderstood industry

Many people's impression of private detectives is still stuck in film and television works - covert stalkers wearing sunglasses and holding telescopes. However, the professional detective industry in reality has developed into a standardized and professional service field. According to the white paper of China's business investigation industry, the number of enterprises and individual customers served by formal investigation agencies across the country in 2023 will nearly triple compared with five years ago, indicating that the demand for professional investigation services is growing rapidly.

The public's prejudice against the detective profession mainly stems from several aspects: first, information asymmetry, many people do not understand the legal boundaries of detective work; secondly, the misconduct of a small number of informal practitioners has affected the reputation of the entire industry; Finally, the exaggerated performance of film and television works deepens the public's misunderstanding. In fact, formal detective agencies such as GAOGE detectives always adhere to the legal framework and strictly abide by relevant laws and regulations in all investigation methods.

Career orientation within the legal framework

Private detectives are positioned in China's legal system very clearly: we are not law enforcement agencies, but institutions that provide professional investigative services to citizens and businesses. According to the relevant provisions of the Civil Procedure Law, citizens have the right to collect evidence through legal channels, which is the legal basis for the existence of the detective industry. GAOGE In the course of more than 20 years of practice, detectives have always adhered to the principle of "evidence legality first", and all investigation and evidence collection work is carried out within the scope permitted by law.

Specifically, the legal boundaries of detective services are mainly reflected in the following aspects: first, the investigation process must not infringe on the legitimate rights and interests of others, including the right to privacy and reputation; secondly, the means of evidence collection must be legal, and illegal means such as eavesdropping and illegal intrusion cannot be used; Finally, the use of evidence must comply with legal regulations to ensure probative force in court. We work closely with our team of professional lawyers to ensure that every investigation project stands up to legal tests.

Guardians of family stability

In the field of marriage and family, private detectives play an irreplaceable role. When there is a crisis in the relationship between husband and wife, an objective and professional investigation can help the parties understand the real situation and make rational decisions. Nearly 40% of the marriage investigation cases handled by GAOGE detectives eventually reconciled through mediation, 30% divorced by agreement, and less than 30% required litigation. This shows that professional investigative services can often promote the peaceful resolution of problems.

Let me share a real case: Last year we hosted a Ms. Wang from Shenzhen who suspected her husband of having an affair but suffered from no evidence. Through legal investigation, we not only confirmed her guess, but also found that the husband had transferred part of the joint property of the husband and wife. Based on the complete chain of evidence we provided, Ms. Wang successfully defended her legitimate rights and interests in the divorce proceedings and avoided greater financial losses. This case fully demonstrates the important value of professional investigation in protecting the rights and interests of vulnerable parties.

The social significance of parent-child relationship confirmation

Paternity confirmation is another important area of service. In traditional Chinese culture, blood relations have a special meaning. When parent-child doubts arise, professional investigations can help families clarify the truth, whether it is confirming biological relationships or finding separated relatives, which has far-reaching social significance. GAOGEDetective has established partnerships with several authoritative DNA testing agencies to ensure the accuracy and legal validity of test results.

The defender of the business order

In the business field, private detectives are also an important force in maintaining market order. With the increasingly fierce market competition, commercial fraud, intellectual property infringement, unfair competition and other phenomena occur from time to time. Professional investigation institutions help enterprises protect their legitimate rights and interests through systematic investigation and evidence collection. According to statistics, GAOGE detectives recover more than 10 million yuan of economic losses for Shenzhen and surrounding enterprises every year.

Intellectual property protection is an important area of business investigation. We assisted a technology innovation company in investigating a technology leak, and through a meticulous investigation, we found evidence that former employees had stolen core technology data and sold it to competitors. Based on the complete chain of evidence we provided, the company not only successfully recovered the loss, but also maintained its technical advantages through legal channels. This case fully demonstrates the important role of professional investigation in protecting innovative results.

The market role of corporate compliance investigations

Compliance investigations play a key role in major business decisions such as mergers and acquisitions and investments. Through professional due diligence, investors can fully understand the true situation of the target company and avoid potential legal and commercial risks. GAOGEDetective's business investigation team is composed of professionals with multiple backgrounds such as law, finance, and investigation, and can provide clients with a full range of risk assessment services.

Practitioners of social justice

In addition to the business and family spheres, private detectives also play an important role in maintaining social justice. A prime example is the address tracing service, where GAOGE detectives help hundreds of families find their lost loved ones each year. Among these cases, some are looking for relatives who have been missing for many years, and some are helping the elderly find their children, and behind each successful case is a family reunion story.

In debt recovery, professional investigations also play a role in maintaining fairness. We helped an elderly man recover his defrauded pension money, found clues to the suspect's whereabouts and assets through systematic investigation, and finally assisted the police in arresting the suspect. This case not only recovered economic losses for the elderly, but also maintained social fairness and justice.

Protection of the rights and interests of vulnerable groups

The private detective industry pays special attention to the protection of the rights and interests of vulnerable groups. In cases such as domestic violence, damage to the rights and interests of the elderly, and child custody disputes, professional investigations can provide key evidence support for vulnerable parties. GAOGEDetective has a dedicated public welfare service team that provides a certain number of free or preferential investigation services to eligible vulnerable groups every year to practice corporate social responsibility.

The core value of professional services

The professional value of the private detective industry is reflected in many ways. The first is the strict confidentiality mechanism, GAOGE detectives implement a segmented investigation mode to ensure that investigators only know the information of their own links, and customer information implements strict encryption management and regular destruction system. This perfect confidentiality system ensures the security of customer information.

Technical assurance is another important aspect. We use advanced investigation technology and equipment, but always adhere to the principle of legal compliance. All technical means are used to the extent permitted by law to ensure the legality and validity of evidence. At the same time, we have established a complete quality control system to ensure that every survey project meets professional standards.

Psychological support and emotional care

While providing professional investigation services, we attach great importance to the psychological needs of our clients. Many clients are in a period of emotional vulnerability when seeking detective services and need professional psychological support and emotional care. GAOGEDetective's consultant team is professionally trained to provide clients with appropriate psychological counseling and advice to help them face problems rationally and make the best decisions.

Social responsibility for industry development

As a professional service industry, private detectives shoulder important social responsibilities. GAOGEDetective has always adhered to professional ethics as the core and established strict industry self-discipline norms. We regularly organize professional ethics training for practitioners to ensure that every investigator has a deep understanding of the ethical requirements and social responsibilities of the industry.

In terms of social supervision, we actively accept the supervision of customers and society, and establish a sound complaint handling mechanism. At the same time, we actively participate in the formulation and improvement of industry standards, promoting the development of the entire industry in a more standardized and professional direction. This openness and transparency have earned the trust of customers and society.

Public welfare service and social contribution

GAOGEDetective has never forgotten to give back to the society and actively carry out various public welfare services. We provide preferential services to groups with financial difficulties, participate in community safety publicity activities, and cooperate with relevant departments to carry out anti-counterfeiting and rights protection actions. These public welfare initiatives not only reflect the company's sense of social responsibility, but also enhance the social image of the entire industry.
