Private investigators in Newcastle upon Tyne

Working in Newcastle upon Tyne

The Metro is the first thing a surveillance plan here has to account for: it links the centre, the coast, the airport and Sunderland, and a subject who uses it can be on the other side of the river before a vehicle has cleared the Tyne Bridge. Foot operatives on the network and vehicles at the likely destinations are the usual pattern. Outside the centre the region is car-based, and the A1 and A19 corridors carry most of the movement.

Tyneside’s professional and legal community is concentrated around Grey Street and the Quayside, and the Civil and Family Courts and Tribunals Centre at Barras Bridge brings county court, family court and Employment Tribunal work under one roof, which simplifies attendance when a hearing follows a report.

Fieldwork, staffing and travel

Surveillance in Tyneside and the North East is quoted per operative per day or half-day, with the number of operatives and the reason for it stated in the quote. Fieldwork is staffed from the area wherever possible so that travel is not on your bill. Where it cannot be, travel and any overnight stay are listed as disbursements at cost on the quote before you agree it, and are never added afterwards. How we charge sets out the fee models in full; you are told at scoping how the work will be staffed.

If proceedings follow

Reports are prepared for disclosure whether or not you expect to use them. Where a matter in Newcastle upon Tyne reaches a court or tribunal, the hearing will usually be at one of the following, and a witness statement and attendance are provided at the fees agreed for that stage.

What you receive describes the report structure and how exhibits are captured and kept so that a solicitor can put them before any of these without first arguing about provenance.

Reporting to the police

Threats, stalking and harassment in Newcastle upon Tyne are reported to Northumbria Police on 101, or 999 in an emergency. Our work runs alongside a police report, not instead of one; we establish who is responsible and preserve the evidence in a form the police and the courts can use. Before you contact anyone, the record-keeping guidance on our harassment page explains what to capture and what not to delete.
