Locates and Skip Traces are specialized services provided by private investigation firms to find individuals who have intentionally or unintentionally become difficult to locate.

​

• Locates: This service involves tracking down individuals for various reasons, such as locating witnesses, debtors, heirs, or old acquaintances. It often combines database research, public records, and field investigations to pinpoint the current whereabouts of the person.

• Skip Traces: Skip tracing specifically focuses on locating individuals who are intentionally evading contact or attempting to disappear, often in the context of debt collection, legal proceedings, or missing persons cases. Investigators employ advanced techniques, including digital forensics, surveillance, and discreet interviews, to trace their steps and uncover their current location.

​

Both services require a combination of investigative skills, access to databases, and often, creative problem-solving to overcome obstacles and locate the individual in question. It's important to note that these services must be conducted within the bounds of legal and ethical guidelines, respecting privacy and confidentiality.
