EA INVESTIGATIVE SERVICES

Investigations and Polygraph Operations:

• POLYGRAPH

• FRAUD/THEFT INVESTIGATIONS

• BACKGROUND INVESTIGATIONS

• ANTI-TERRORISM

POLYGRAPH

U.S. Government studies have concluded that the polygraph examination, conducted properly by a qualified examiner, is 87 to 95 percent accurate. It is the most accurate tool available today for determining deception. These statistics do not include "No Opinion" (formerly inconclusive) results in which no opinion can be made from the polygraph charts. The polygraph instrument is another viable investigative tool to assist in the determination of one's culpability.

All of EIS' polygraph examinations are conducted in a professional, low profile, non-accusatory manner known as non-confrontational information elicitation. EIS' office environment is ideally suited for every type of examination. Appointments can be scheduled at virtually any time during a weekday. When required, evening and weekend testing is available. Examination results are immediate, as are EIS' comprehensive, narrative reports.

Here are some of the uses and benefits of administering polygraph examinations:

General

• Eliminate suspects

• Recognize false complaints

• Provide a new "key" to an investigation when all other standard investigative techniques have been exhausted

• Narrow the focus of inquiry

• Gather additional information and evidence

• Assists to focus the investigation on particular suspects

Cheating/Fidelity - This format is used to determine whether one partner has had sexual contact with anyone else besides his/her partner. Other related items may include questions about dating, kissing, contact with "exes," etc.

Personal History - This format is appropriate when a partner needs to verify aspects of his/her partner's background, such as sexual history, drug or alcohol habits, gambling, health issues (particularly STD's), and excessive financial obligations.

Internet Activities - Not all "cheating" requires physical contact. Polygraph can be used to determine the extent of "sexual" activities conducted over the internet, such as visits to pornographic sites, dating sites, visits to sexual chat rooms, interactive sexual web sites, or having "cybersex" (sexual chat) with someone who is not his/her partner.

Types of Exams Used for Post Coviction Sex Offender Testing (PCSOT)

Instant Offense - This format is used to determine whether the original crime was actually committed by the subject. Denial or rationalization of this crime, if actually committed, hinders appropriate treatment from being provided.

Sexual History Disclosure - Appropriate treatment can only be successful if the subject's complete sexual history is disclosed to the treating psychologist. This format is used to verify whether the subject has withheld pertinent information from his/her background.

Monitoring Testing - An important aspect of the monitoring program is to verify that the subject has not committed new sexual offenses while in the program. This format is used for exactly this purpose.

Maintenance Testing - This format is used to determine any issue related to parole, probation or therapy of specific interest to the psychologist or parole/probation officer. Some typical uses for this exam would be to determine whether the subject has been in contact with children in violation of parole/probation guidelines, has viewed pornography, has had any contact with a previous victim, or is "grooming" anyone as a new potential victim.

Are you using polygraph examinations in your investigations? Are polygraph examinations part of your pre-employment screening process? If not, it should be. ERRII can provide you with qualified polygraph examiners.

FRAUD/THEFT INVESTIGATIONS

Fraud, embezzlement, internal theft, negligent hiring, and investment schemes, just to name a few, are issues that continue to plague businesses and organizations. Studies by the Department of Commerce, American Management Association, and other organizations estimate that employees steal over a billion dollars a week from unknowing employers. Regardless of how you look at the problem of fraud and theft, both forms pose significant issues with increased costs, potential liability, loss of reputation, trust, are just some. What are you doing to prevent or control losses? Do you really know who you are hiring? Do you believe that certain losses are the cost of doing business? What preventive measures do you have in place? Simple questions -- or are they? ERRII offers you strong investigative and preventive solutions to mitigate your loss.

• To help reduce your turnover by eliminating questionable or unreliable applicants.

• To improve your organizations overall morale – all employees know that they are working with others that have undergone the same background scrutiny.

Personal Background Investigation provides information useful to determine the general character and trustworthiness of an individual. This investigation will normally ascertain the subject's true identity, residence address, business ownership interests, employer or other income sources. In addition, a thorough search of the subject's civil and criminal background history may be undertaken within the region the subject currently resides or in counties, states or countries of previous residence or travel. The investigation may provide the subject's driving history and personal financial profile including ownership interests such as real property or motor vehicles and liabilities including bankruptcies, civil judgments, notices of default or foreclosure, and state or federal tax liens. A personal background investigation may be fundamental or complex depending upon the subject individual and matters at issue.

Business Background Investigation provides information useful to determine the structure and condition of any business entity, be it a sole proprietorship or multinational corporation. Working with minimal information, EIS will determine the correct business name, size and type, ownership and key executives, facility locations, holdings and interests, business activities and practices; as well as civil litigation, criminal conviction and regulatory compliance histories. Additionally, a business background investigation can identify assets and liabilities; the background of principal officers and directors; or company suppliers, vendors, employees and customers. These investigations are structured to fulfill specific client due diligence requirements for purposes of investment, merger, acquisition, competitor analysis or litigation.

Pre-employment Background Investigation is specially designed to ascertain the character and trustworthiness of a potential employee at the line or executive level. This is accomplished by verification of the applicant's personal identification, education, employment history, credit rating, criminal history, driving record and civil standing. A pre-employment background investigation may be customized to fulfill specific employer needs, such as those dictated by contractual agreement or company policy. These investigations may be basic or extensive as warranted by the pending position and budgetary considerations. A significant reduction in cost may be realized under agreement with multiple requests. Together we will develop the scope of investigation needed.

ANTI TERRORISM

We live in uncertain times. Hearing about terrorism issues daily, it has become a way of life, also a way of doing business domestically and in the international arena. Businesses, Government, Organizations, and individuals must recognize and continually address this growing problem.

Terrorism today includes a wide variety of methods and is not limited to murder, kidnapping, bombing, ambush, chemical, and biological terrorism, and cyber terrorism. The adversary seeks the soft target, preying on vulnerabilities.

You do not have time to vacillate in your approach to terrorism. You must ask yourself, are we prepared? Do we know what to do if there is a terrorist attack? What plans do we have in place?

EIS can assist you with the identification and implementation of security solutions to mitigate risks, in the most cost efficient way.

You need a plan to react appropriately to a terrorist attack or any other type of crisis. Ignoring it is not an option when it comes to life or death, and possible total business devastation.

Who is at risk? The menace strikes every kind of business: big or small, high-tech or low-tech, industrial or service, professional or trade, profit or nonprofit. What is the primary target? Information: ideas about products, marketing strategies, lists of suppliers, sales data, customer names, personal information, and security plans, just to name a few.

Who is the adversary? Sometimes the thief is a business competitor, sometimes an employee wanting to strike out on their own, unfortunately with your trade secrets, and hard work, or other intellectual property. Sometimes your adversary works for a foreign nation or foreign-owned entity, and often the culprit is a business associate you trust most.

You could possibly be the target of an espionage campaign right now. EIS can assist you with implementation of effective security, risk mitigation, and countermeasures against espionage and information loss.

EIS helps you obtain the highly specific and timely intelligence you need for better decision-making. We provide you with the insight, creativity, strategy, and persistence to further your company’s goals.

What we do … listen to your request…identify your specific requirements…understand the big picture…develop a strategy…gather intelligence…deliver results…to the successful outcome of a particular assignment.
