Bruce currently works with a wide range of criminal practitioners around New Zealand. They use his experience to review Police cases, identify lines of enquiry, interview and brief potential defence witnesses and arrange for their attendance at court. His work is either funded privately or by Legal Services, a Government Agency that funds legal defence work. After reviewing legal aid cases, he prepares an estimate of costs to be forwarded by the acting lawyer to Legal Services for approval.

Knowing where to look for a missing person is very much like looking for a needle in a haystack. Perhaps, if you know the person well and know their habits and the places they tend to spend time in then you can narrow it down to a hay bale or two.

However, if you are looking for a runaway teen, a long lost relative, a friend you lost contact with years ago, an old flame or your genetic parents, you don’t have a lot to go on.

This is where professional help becomes essential. Bruce is an expert in locating missing people for all reasons.

While the idea of looking for a long-lost family member is a nice one and we would happily do that full time, Bruce is also called upon to locate witnesses who are avoiding contact or individuals who owe you money and have gone to ground. It is likely that you do not know much about these people.

Bruce has the networks and contacts, developed over many years of detective work, needed to find the people and facts that prefer to stay hidden.

Our resources include personal, company and business networks, and we have the tracing expertise and equipment needed to effectively pursue all avenues of investigation.

Bruce and his team can help find a missing person or business and provide you with the most up-to-date contact information and location details.

It is often the ‘not knowing’ that is the worst aspect of cheating in a relationship.

Bruce and his team can remove the doubts and either set your mind at ease or provide you with irrefutable evidence to confront the problem.

Infidelity can happen in any relationship. Whether you suspect that you have a cheating boyfriend, cheating girlfriend, or cheating spouse, you want to know the truth, even if it’s bad! Your gut tells you it is definitely happening, an affair right under your nose, but you can’t get proof and you can’t confront your partner without it.

Perhaps your friends are telling you that you are being too suspicious and your partner says you are paranoid and jealous. However, those are the kinds of lines a cheating wife or cheating husband would typically throw at you – making you feel guilty for not trusting them.

So what can you do? If you get caught following them there will be hell to pay. Fishing for information can also easily get you in trouble. Their phone is suddenly locked and their sent emails erased. You are getting nowhere by asking pointed questions about where they have been when they get home late from work. You need evidence – proof that will enable you to make an informed decision about your future with this person. Most of all you need to find a way to end the emotional and psychological turmoil that a cheating spouse will put you through.

Bruce can help. While it might seem like a good idea to do your own reconnaissance work, you may unknowingly end up committing illegal activities. Not to mention you run the risk of getting caught spying from the bushes and there is no way that scenario can turn out well.

Bruce can investigate infidelity and affairs while remaining undetected, then provide you with the proof you need in a discreet and efficient manner. Because Bruce is licensed for detective work, he is legally able to investigate in ways you cannot.

The confirmation that you have a cheating spouse is naturally very upsetting news. By using an investigator you can receive evidence of an affair in a safe and secure way and have the time to consider your reaction before confronting your cheating significant other. This will save you pain in the long run and also means that any action you take will be thought-out, rather than driven by emotion. If you want to get even rather than just getting mad, you will need all the information and evidence you can get to plan your next move. Contacting a lawyer with evidence provided by Bruce will mean you can get the upper hand in divorce or de facto claims.

Another definite benefit of involving an investigator is that if your suspicions are not correct, and your partner is not having an affair, then it is best to find out from a professional detective, rather than finding out when you confront your partner – and get dumped for accusing them of infidelity.

Confronting a loved one, family member, colleague or business associate about their drug, gambling or drinking habit can be difficult to say the least. People get defensive about behaviour that they know is harmful to them and the more you try to speak to them about it, the more they’ll brush you off. You may even risk losing their friendship and driving them further into their addiction.

Even though they may not want any help, you want to give it to them. You know that their behaviour is impacting their relationships, their work and their physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. If it happens to be a spouse, or partner, then you know first-hand how their addictive behaviour is affecting their life and yours and you have a right to want it to stop. However, it is difficult to know how to help someone struggling with a drug problem, gambling addiction or alcoholism.

The first thing to do, before trying to tackle the problem, is to identify it. As someone who is close to them, you cannot confront them without evidence and you know they won’t tell you the truth about their problem.

Consider hiring Bruce to investigate their addiction and to get all the information about their situation. Whether it’s your husband, wife, business partner or a family member, there are many questions to consider. Is it a single drug, or several? How much are they drinking and how has it affected their health? Is it all types of gambling, or is it one specifically? How much money have they lost or spent? Do they owe money to anyone because of their addiction? Who else are they putting at risk?

Before you confront the person, you want answers to all these questions. Bruce is a highly qualified private detective who can undertake surveillance – with the utmost discretion – to get you the answers you need to plan your way forward. Whether you need to take action to protect yourself, or to find a way to convince them to get help, this information is vital.

The break-up of a family is never easy. In some cases the process will happen naturally, amicably, and smoothly, with each party ending up with more or less the deal that they want. However, this is not always the case – for these times you may need Bruce’s private investigation services.

Bruce and his team have a wide range of experience in handling these very sensitive matters with care, diligence, respect and discretion.

Your Questions?

• Do you feel that your ex-partner is not paying their full share of child support?
• Do you suspect that your ex-partner is neglecting your children?
• Perhaps you are concerned that there are unfinished matters on which you need closure?

If any of these situations apply to you, Bruce can provide you with the answers you need, with total discretion and confidentiality every time.

We all dream of our teenagers being the kind of kids who stay at home to study and enjoy spending time with their parents. We were like that as teenagers, weren’t we?

Sadly, we know the reality is that teenagers are the most likely to put themselves in dangerous situations and make bad decisions. Blame the hormones – they make teenage boys think they’re invincible and teenage girls think they’ll never get caught. What really worries us, the parents and guardians of teenagers, is the fact that they are oblivious to the many dangers surrounding them or simply believe that nothing bad will happen to them.

While we can pray the worst won’t happen and that they’ll learn their lessons before any harm comes to them, we can also take steps to protect our teens. If you are concerned about any of your child’s behaviour or habits, or unsure what exactly they are getting up to, Bruce can investigate the matter further. Parents are often in the dark about what their teens are doing; sometimes it can be better than imagined and sometimes worse. But whatever it is, you want to know.

Bruce investigates teenage criminal activity, drug use and possession, binge drinking, truancy, promiscuity, unusual internet habits, as well as any suspicious new friends and associates. His surveillance services include monitoring and observing your child’s activities and reporting back to you. This way we can provide you with detailed knowledge of your child’s life outside of home, without jeopardising their trust in you and without raising their suspicions that their parents are watching or concerned. Along with information, Bruce can give you peace of mind.

Please call Bruce today to speak about your individual case and concerns.
