About Us
Welcome to A.R.I.E.S. — Advanced Research & Investigation Evidence Services, a nationwide investigative resource and professional platform built to make the world of private investigation more accessible, organized, and connected.
A.R.I.E.S. was created with a simple purpose: to make it easier for people and organizations to find investigative professionals, while also giving members of the investigative community a centralized place to build their professional presence, access useful resources, and stay connected to the industry.
Our platform is designed to serve both sides of the investigative industry — those who need investigative services and the professionals who provide them.
Connecting Those Who Need Investigators With Those Who Provide Them
Finding the right investigative professional can sometimes be difficult. Investigative services can vary significantly by specialty, location, experience, and the type of matter involved.
A.R.I.E.S. provides a centralized nationwide resource where users can search for investigative professionals throughout the United States based on factors such as:
State

County
Specialty
Service type
Areas served
Professional or agency information
Our directory is designed to help users discover professionals who may be appropriate for matters involving surveillance, workers' compensation, insurance investigations, corporate investigations, background investigations, missing persons, fraud investigations, process service, digital forensics, locating individuals, and other investigative services.
A.R.I.E.S. is intended to serve a wide range of users, including:
Attorneys and law firms
Insurance professionals and claims organizations
Third-party administrators (TPAs)
Businesses and corporations
Government agencies
Security and risk-management organizations

Our goal is to make the discovery process more efficient while providing users with information that can help them make informed decisions about the professionals they choose to contact.
A Resource for the Investigative Community
A.R.I.E.S. isn't only designed for people looking for investigators.
It is also built for the investigators themselves.
Independent investigators, investigative agencies, surveillance professionals, process servers, researchers, forensic specialists, and other professionals within the investigative field can use A.R.I.E.S. as a centralized professional resource.
Through membership and professional listings, investigators and agencies can establish a presence within a nationwide investigative directory, provide information about their services and specialties, identify the areas they serve, and make it easier for potential clients and professional organizations to discover them.
A.R.I.E.S. is designed to help investigative professionals increase visibility, connect with potential sources of business, and remain connected to a broader investigative community.
The A.R.I.E.S. Hub
At the center of A.R.I.E.S.' commitment to the investigative community is the A.R.I.E.S. Hub — a dedicated resource center created specifically for investigators and investigative professionals.
The A.R.I.E.S. Hub brings together useful tools, information, educational resources, and industry features in one centralized location.
Resources within the A.R.I.E.S. Hub may include:

Built From Real Investigative Experience
A.R.I.E.S. was founded by an individual with more than eight years of experience in the private investigation and security industries, as well as service in the United States Navy.
That experience included surveillance operations, process serving, desktop investigations, and investigative assignments spanning multiple states.
Assignments included:
Workers' compensation
Insurance and liability investigations
Surveillance
Infidelity investigations
Locating individuals
Process service
Desktop investigations
Other investigative assignments
Working directly within the industry provided firsthand insight into both sides of the investigative process — the challenges investigators encounter in their profession and the difficulties organizations and individuals can face when attempting to locate the right investigative professional.
That experience helped inspire the creation of A.R.I.E.S.
More Than a Directory
A.R.I.E.S. is designed to be more than a traditional business directory.
Our long-term vision is to create a centralized investigative ecosystem where investigative professionals can build visibility, access industry resources, learn, participate, and connect — while attorneys, insurance professionals, businesses, organizations, government agencies, and other users have a convenient way to discover investigative professionals throughout the country.
The platform combines:
A Nationwide Investigator Directory
A searchable directory of investigative professionals and agencies throughout the United States.
An Investigator Resource Center
The A.R.I.E.S. Hub, featuring tools, educational materials, licensing resources, challenges, employment opportunities, and other professional resources.
A Professional Discovery Platform
A resource designed to help organizations and individuals locate investigative professionals based on geography, specialty, and other relevant information.
A Growing Investigative Community
A platform designed to bring investigative professionals together through educational, competitive, and professional features.
Our Mission
Our mission is to help make the investigative industry more accessible, connected, organized, and discoverable.
For those seeking investigative services, A.R.I.E.S. provides a centralized resource for discovering professionals who may be able to assist with their specific needs.
For investigators and investigative agencies, A.R.I.E.S. provides a platform to increase professional visibility, showcase their services, access industry resources, and become part of a growing nationwide investigative community.
We believe both sides benefit from a better connection.
Those who need investigators should have an easier way to find them.
Those who provide investigative services should have an easier way to be found.
That is the purpose behind A.R.I.E.S.

Whether you are an investigator looking to expand your professional presence, an attorney searching for investigative assistance, an insurance professional looking for investigative resources, a business seeking investigative support, or an individual trying to locate the right professional for a specific matter, A.R.I.E.S. is built to help you find your way.
