Surveillance

Discreet, Documented, Court-Ready

Surveillance is the foundation of most investigative casework. A licensed investigator observes and documents a subject's activity, movements, and interactions in public or otherwise legally observable settings, producing timestamped video and photo evidence built to withstand scrutiny.

What's Included

• Static and mobile surveillance, on foot or by vehicle

• Single-day, multi-day, or multi-week observation windows

• Continuous timestamped video and photo documentation

• Detailed written activity logs alongside the visual record

• Coordination with your attorney on evidentiary standards

Who This Is For

• Family law clients documenting a spouse or co-parent's conduct

• Insurance companies and defense attorneys verifying a claim

• Employers investigating on-the-job or workers'-comp concerns

• Individuals who need documentation of a specific, defined concern

Sentara Intelligence provides surveillance services across Gallatin, TN and the surrounding Sumner County area.

See Our Process for This Service

A confidential scoping call establishes what you need documented and why.

A surveillance plan is built around the subject's known schedule, locations, and routines.

Licensed in-house investigators — never subcontractors — conduct the fieldwork.

Findings are compiled into a timestamped report with supporting video and photo evidence.

Infidelity & Cheating Investigations

Suspicion on its own rarely resolves anything — it just sits there. An infidelity investigation replaces suspicion with a documented factual record, giving you clarity before a difficult conversation or a legal filing, built entirely on lawful observation.

What's Included

• Discreet surveillance of a partner's activity and whereabouts

• Verification (or ruling out) of a suspected relationship

• Documentation of time, location, and companionship patterns

• A confidential consultation before any fieldwork begins

• Coordination with a family law attorney when a case is heading toward divorce

Who This Is For

• Spouses or partners considering separation or divorce

• Individuals who want facts before confronting a partner

• Attorneys building a family law case file that needs documented conduct

This is a standard part of Sentara Intelligence's caseload across Gallatin, Hendersonville, Portland, Westmoreland, and the greater Sumner County corridor.

A confidential intake conversation covers your concerns, timeline, and goals.

A case plan is built around the days, locations, and patterns you've already noticed.

Discreet field observation is conducted without alerting the subject.

A factual, dated report is delivered directly to you — not shared with anyone else.

Skip Tracing & Locate Services

Finding People Who Don't Want to Be Found — Or Just Moved

Most locate cases aren't dramatic disappearances — they're someone who changed jobs, moved apartments, or switched numbers without updating every record that referenced the old information. Skip tracing combines licensed database access with field verification to find a current, confirmed location.

What's Included

• Database searches across address, employment, vehicle, and utility records

• Field verification of leads before an address is reported as current

• Multi-jurisdiction and cross-county searches

• Direct coordination with process servers once a location is confirmed

• Searches for debtors, missing persons, witnesses, heirs, and absent parties

Who This Is For

• Attorneys who need to locate a hard-to-find party for service

• Collections agencies and creditors pursuing a judgment

• Landlords and property managers tracking down a former tenant

• Families reconnecting with relatives, or estate administrators locating heirs

Sentara Intelligence handles skip tracing & locate services work throughout Sumner County, alongside its other core services.

See Our Process for This Service

Intake gathers every known identifying detail — name, DOB, last address, employer, phone.

A licensed database search surfaces candidate addresses and records.

A confirmed, current address is delivered, ready for service or direct contact.

What's Included

• Vendor, contractor, and business-partner due diligence

• Pre-transaction and pre-partnership corporate verification

What's Included

• Criminal and civil court record checks across relevant jurisdictions

• Employment and education verification

• Identity verification and address history

• Asset and property record review

• Relationship, tenant, or new-business-partner background checks

Criminal Defense Investigations

Building the Facts Your Defense Needs

Child Custody Investigations

Fact-Based Documentation for the Cases That Matter Most

What's Included

• Home environment and cohabitation documentation

Fraud Investigations

Verifying Claims, Protecting What's Legitimate

What's Included

• Insurance and workers'-compensation claim verification

• Surveillance of claimed injuries, limitations, or circumstances

• Financial and asset-concealment investigations

• Business and contract fraud verification

• Detailed reporting built for insurers, attorneys, or court use

General Investigations

When Your Situation Doesn't Fit a Standard Category

Not every investigative need fits neatly into a single category. General investigations cover custom-scoped fact-finding — verifying a story, researching a situation, or simply figuring out what kind of investigation actually applies to your circumstances.

What's Included

• Custom-scoped fact-finding for situations that don't fit a standard category

• Records research across public and licensed sources

• Witness or informant interviews

• Personal safety and stalking-concern documentation

Who This Is For

Being based at the Sumner County seat means Sentara Intelligence's general investigative work runs on familiarity with the Gallatin courthouse routine — useful whenever a case doesn't fit neatly into a single category and needs a flexible, locally grounded approach.
