The risk of surveillance in Australia is increasing and concerning. More than 150,000 listening devices (bugs), hidden cameras and covert GPS trackers are imported into the country every year — so Big Brother is watching.

Our search focus

Items such as bugs, cameras and trackers can be purchased legally with ease online by anyone. It is easy for any person with no prior training to plant a device. All that is needed is opportunity and access, which can be done discreetly in a short window opportunity. However, having the ability to successfully locate these types of devices takes training and hands on experience, using wide ranging professional high-spec equipment.

Discreet operation

The large majority of the time our technicians will arrive discreetly in an unmarked vehicle. To the neighbours or local business, it could be a visit from any sort of tradesperson. As soon as we are inside we walk through a secondary brief to ensure we have all the information we need, and to address all your concerns.

This type of work is a methodical and lengthy process. The purpose of the search is to locate tiny devices someone doesn’t want us to find, if they’re there at all. Our search methods are critical and our officers ensure a thorough search of all identified areas are conducted systematically with patients.

Do you suspect your home, car or business has been bugged?

Call the CSI team from a phone and location you are sure hasn’t been compromised. Your call will be answered by an experienced investigator who will be able to talk through your suspicions, give you a risk assessment and form a plan of action if required. We will work with you to determine the scope of the surveillance threat and work out a strategy for dealing with anything we find.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do your security officers wear a uniform?

Yes, officers on duty are dressed in uniform unless performing plain clothes operations. In this case, they carry a CSI wallet badge for identification purposes and WA Police approved Security licence listing all licence classes and photographic evidence.

How often do you recruit Security Officers?

Best to keep an eye on www.seek.com.au where we advertise job vacancies. If you are interested in joining the CSI team you can contact us direct. We are happy to keep your details on our system and contact you should a vacancy become available.

If I install a CCTV system in my business premises, are you able to provide an ongoing maintenance program?

CSI are happy to prepare an ongoing maintenance arrangement. Our technicians will conduct complete system checks, perform necessary upgrades, and cleaning to ensure your surveillance system is active and not under performing.

What type of training is provided to your Security Officers?

On a regular basis we provide refresher training such as de-escalation of force, predictive profiling, effective community engagement, tactical and operational intelligence, report writing, personable and tactical communication, ethics and professionalism.

Do officers work individually or in groups?

Depending on the assignment, officers can work individually or in a group setting. For example, investigations and consulting are performed with one officer, special events or high crime hot spot areas may have additional officers.

Should I inform my insurance company I have installed a monitored alarm system?

Most insurance companies appreciate you lowering the risk of burglary by installing a monitored security system, and reward you by giving you a discount on your premium, a lower excess or both.

Why do I need a security risk assessment?

Essentially, Security Risk Assessments allow you to identify, analyse and evaluate the security risks that face your organisation, its assets and its people. From here, you become better equipped to mitigate or address these risks.

By conducting an SRA, all areas of your organisation become responsible for and aware of the security risks they face. This leads to greater communication, collaboration, decision making and preparation from every corner of your organisation. Security Risk Assessments are designed to identify security weaknesses within your organisation and to design an effective action plan in response. This ultimately strengthens your organisation, allows you to take ownership of your security and to allocate resources effectively.
