Specializing in locates, skips, missing persons, backgrounds, bug detection, surveillance...

We perform bug sweeps, wiretap detection, find people, and do background checks! New York's premier private investigators can find/investigate anyone, anywhere. World famous private investigator Skipp Porteous says, "At Sherlock Investigations we can do a lot of things, and perhaps finding people is what we do best." We do everything from locating run-away teens, deadbeat dads, and even pets, to electronically sweeping an office or residence for eavesdropping devices, or putting one of our female investigator teams to work doing surveillance on a cheating spouse. We’re good at what we do. Our success rate in locating people is an amazing 95%. Our private investigators are well-seasoned in the art of surveillance. If your phone is tapped, or your place is bugged, the chances are that we will find it. While we welcome the challenge of unusual cases, we are very selective of whom we accept as clients. As licensed private investigators, we use proprietary databases that the average person has no access to, and painstakingly work each case. Don't be fooled by automated detective services.
