Jacksonville Private Investigator
Experienced Private Investigators with 35+ Years of Real-World Expertise
At Tradecraft Private Investigations, experience isn’t just a bullet point — it’s the foundation of everything we do. Our team is made up of highly skilled surveillance professionals and former undercover detectives with more than three decades of experience in Jacksonville law enforcement and private investigations.
We’ve spent thousands of hours in the field conducting covert surveillance, working cases that required discretion, patience, and precision. From riding a beat in Jacksonville neighborhoods to working undercover in the Organized Crime Division of the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, we’ve developed an intimate understanding of how to track people, gather evidence without being seen, and navigate the legal system effectively.
Our background includes undercover investigations in sex trafficking, online child exploitation, racketeering, and other complex cases — the kind of cases that demand adaptability, situational awareness, and attention to legal detail. We’ve secured search/arrest warrants, worked wiretaps, and testified in numerous court trials throughout our careers— experiences that taught us exactly what kind of evidence holds up under scrutiny.
Now, we bring that same level of professionalism and discretion to every case we take—whether it’s infidelity, child custody, or locating someone who doesn’t want to be found. We don’t just observe — we plan, adapt, and execute investigations with discipline and efficiency. When you work with Tradecraft, you're working with professionals who know how to stay one step ahead and who take your case as seriously as you do.

Surveillance Services
In today’s world, safeguarding your personal interests or business assets often requires keeping a close eye on certain people or activities. Covert surveillance is a discreet and effective way to gather vital information, prevent financial losses, and stay secure. Whether you’re a business owner looking to protect your company or someone who needs evidence for personal matters, the right surveillance can make all the difference. At Tradecraft Private Investigations, we provide professional, confidential surveillance services throughout Jacksonville and the surrounding areas, customized to meet your specific needs.
What Is Covert Surveillance?
Covert surveillance means observing individuals or activities without their knowledge, ensuring the target remains unaware of being watched. This is essential in cases where secrecy is critical to the investigation’s success.
Personal Protection and Safety
Surveillance is also invaluable for individuals seeking personal safety. If you’re feeling threatened by someone, such as a suspicious neighbor, a stalker, or even a partner in an infidelity situation, covert surveillance can provide the evidence you need to make informed decisions about your next steps. It can identify potential threats and back up legal actions like restraining orders or criminal investigations. If you're unsure about your safety or worried about a loved one’s well-being, covert surveillance gives you the peace of mind to take action.
Gathering Evidence for Legal Cases
Covert surveillance is a powerful tool for gathering evidence in legal cases.
Legal matters often require solid proof to back up allegations, and surveillance helps you gather that irrefutable evidence. In divorce or custody cases, we can uncover proof of infidelity, neglect, or unsafe behavior, which can be pivotal in making custody decisions. In business disputes or fraud cases, covert surveillance can provide documentation or video footage that strengthens your case. At Tradecraft Private Investigations, we ensure that all surveillance is carried out legally and ethically, so you can use the evidence in court with confidence.
Customizable Surveillance Solutions
At Tradecraft Private Investigations, we offer flexible, tailored surveillance services that match your specific needs. Every case is unique, and we work closely with you to develop a personalized strategy that ensures the best possible outcome.
