Employee Infiltration by Detectives – Theft of Company Property in Brandenburg

Theft of company property is almost a national pastime. Sometimes a pen here, a toner cartridge there, a pair of pliers here, a coffee machine there. In the mindset of some employees, it seems normal to help themselves to “small items” belonging to their employer. However, theft is theft, and no employment relationship changes that; in fact, an existing relationship of trust can even lead to greater disappointment for the victim.

 

Kurtz Investigations Potsdam and Brandenburg, for example, is aware of a case in which the cunning of a single employee caused five-figure damages over several years simply by stealing toilet paper.

 

Friendships have already been broken due to the greed of certain individuals. Our Potsdam corporate detectives once handled a case where the owner’s best friend and longest-serving employee, together with his son, falsified invoices, pocketed sums illegally, and at the same time set up a competing company using the firm’s vehicles – secretly poaching regular clients included.

 

From the experience of our Potsdam detectives, the old saying proves true again and again: trust is good, control is better.

 

The situation becomes particularly critical when valuable resources are stolen. In addition to the routine observation carried out by detectives, there is the option of infiltrating a detective into your company. Employee infiltration is often described as the pinnacle of detective work. Only an exceptionally discreet, versatile detective with excellent people skills can execute such a sensitive assignment perfectly.

Procedure for Employee Infiltration by Private Detectives

In the infiltration process, one of our Potsdam corporate detectives is officially employed in your company. They act as a fully-fledged employee, get to know colleagues, form friendships, and take part in the social life of your organisation. In this way, the detective develops a fine understanding of your staff’s routines and behaviour, can provide a wealth of useful information on tendencies and facts within your company, and will ultimately be able to identify the perpetrator(s) of any offences harming your business.

 

Please note that employee infiltration is one of the most costly measures in the detective industry, as the assigned corporate detective usually needs to work within your company over an extended period.
