 A proper and well written report will benefit you and your client. What is the most important part of an investigation? Many people would answer that it is the outcome. It is natural to focus on the outcome of an investigation. After all, the point of an investigation is to uncover essential information. However, anytime an investigation is warranted, the investigation itself, separate from the outcome, figures prominently in your case. Improper handling of evidence and procedural violations at a crime scene can render the investigation inadmissible in court, leaving you with wasted time, money, and a weakened case. If you need an investigation, you really need to partner with a professional investigator who knows the proper way to handle evidence and witness interviews. Beyond that, what should you look for when hiring a private investigator? Well-written investigative reports. This is probably the most important credential for you to check before hiring any private investigator. If you hire an investigator who is skilled at crime scene analysis but can’t write a comprehensive and proper report you may end up with only half a case, or a job half done. The purpose of an investigative report is to ensure that those who were not at the scene of the investigation will be able to read easily and follow along with the procedures of the investigator. The report should “walk the reader through” the investigation, presenting facts that clarify details and answer questions along the way. If an investigation is necessary for you to build your case, you need to make sure that the accompanying investigative report is accurate, complete, and well-documented. It should be written in a style and “voice” that is easy to read and understand.
