Services

Not all private investigation companies supply the same service; modus operandi and ability vary widely. Our BS 102000-compliant services are externally audited by the National Security Inspectorate, providing independent verification that we adhere to the highest industry standards and best practice.


In the absence of mandatory licensing there is an increasing expectation that investigative service providers afford equal status to legality and morality. It is no longer acceptable to claim the moral high ground, we must own it. It is important not to judge us exclusively by our results, but also how we achieve them.

Video evidence credibility analysis service (VECAS®)

Specialised Investigation Services Ltd is the only UK company to offer a BS 102000-compliant video evidence credibility analysis service, which makes it uniquely positioned to deliver authoritative commentary to assist claimants and defendants to form opinion on the veracity of surveillance evidence, to provide insight on its integrity.

VECAS® provides impartial analytical review based on professional and technical expertise. Our APIL expert is also a member of the Association of British Investigators, the World Association of Detectives and the Fraud Advisory Panel.

There is nothing more persuasive for a court than film of personal injury claimants engaged in activities contrary to their stated limitations. Consequently, it is vital all parties have complete confidence in the credibility of the surveillance evidence disclosed to them, including the methods used to obtain it. Our BS 102000-compliant VECAS® service provides that confidence.

Personal Injury Surveillance – The Definitive Guide

£24.99

Expert Sam Greer examines the insurance industry’s use of surveillance in personal injury claims.

Personal injury insurance fraud is endemic. Often the default position of the besieged insurance industry, and its investigative supply chain, is not to view claimants as accident victims, but rather, potential fraudsters. Genuine personal injury claimants have a fundamental entitlement to fair treatment and justice. So too, insurers.

Personal Injury Surveillance is a unique guide, providing an insight into the hitherto undisclosed methodologies of personal injury surveillance and the systemic use of an unregulated profession to investigate accident victims. Surveillance is one of many tools used by the UK insurance industry to investigate the veracity of a personal injury claim; others include statistical analysis of claims data and complex algorithms with key fraud indicators, enabling insurers to get upstream of the issue and, in some cases, actually predict fraud before it occurs. However, there is nothing more compelling than surveillance evidence which is why it remains a fundamental element of the claims management process.
