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 one of our other investigative services. 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.
