Our infidelity investigation services

Covert surveillance

Tailored field surveillance to document movements, meetings and interactions. Our operatives use proven trade techniques to capture clear, timestamped photographic and video evidence while maintaining cover.

GPS and vehicle tracking (where lawful)

Used to document travel patterns and locations. GPS data is recorded and timestamped to build travel timelines. (We only deploy tracking devices in accordance with applicable laws.)

Digital forensics & social media analysis (optional)

When legally permissible, we examine digital footprints, social media activity and opensource evidence to support the investigation.

Background and identity checks

Confirm identities, previous associations and public records connected to the person of interest.

Witness interviews & statements

We locate, interview and record statements from relevant witnesses in a discreet manner.

Professional reporting and evidence packages

You receive a structured report containing:

• Highresolution photos and timestamped video clips
• A written timeline of events
• Investigator notes and witness statements
• Chainofcustody information suitable for legal proceedings

How our process works

1. Private consultation — confidential phone or inperson meeting to discuss concerns and objectives.
2. Agreement & legal review — we outline lawful methods, limitations and costs; you approve the plan.
3. Investigation plan — tailored surveillance strategy, technology and personnel assigned.
4. Fieldwork — surveillance, forensics and data collection while protecting your confidentiality.
5. Report & debrief — full evidence package, timeline and nextstep recommendations.
6. Aftercare — support for legal use, court preparation or further enquiries if required.

Evidence you can rely on

All evidence is prepared to professional standards and packaged with documented timelines and investigator notes. When needed, we can provide:

• Affidavits and sworn statements
• Evidence formatting and transfer for legal counsel
• Expert testimony and onsite representation if required

Note: admissibility of evidence is ultimately a legal determination. We work to provide documentation that is commonly acceptable in divorce and custody matters — but you should consult your attorney for casespecific legal advice.

We prioritise lawful, ethical investigations. SWAT operates within South African law and respects privacy regulations. We will always:

• Explain legal boundaries before any digital or tracking work begins

If you’re unsure whether a particular technique is lawful in your situation, we will discuss alternatives and advise you to seek independent legal counsel.
