[Частный детектив. Тверь.]

We are being watched: a private detective from Tver told about the subtleties of the profession.

Sherlock Holmes, Hercule Poirot, Miss Marple – the world-famous private detectives of classical literature and cinema. Even if you haven't read, you've probably watched movies or TV series about these virtuosos of the deductive method. The stories about them inspire and inspire hope that the criminals will be caught, and justice will prevail sooner or later. Are there any private detectives now? The answer is yes. Moreover, there is fierce competition in the market of detective services. The correspondent of "MK in Tver" talked with one of the modern detectives and found out all the details.

But first, a little history. Private detectives appeared relatively recently, in the XIX century, when wild capitalism was established in Europe and fraud, theft and other crimes against property began to flourish. The reason for the appearance of private detective agencies and single detectives was the lack of efficiency of official law enforcement agencies. In addition, in many European countries, "Victorian" mores reigned, in the sense that the reputation of a person or family played an incredibly significant role, the future fate often depended on it. To avoid the publicity of their sensitive affairs, the color of society preferred not to go to the police, but to go, as they would say now, to the "private sector". Very quickly, the detective became associated with a real hero who can come to the rescue in a difficult situation and solve many problems.

A detective with a smartphone

It was not difficult to find a detective, there were a lot of ads on the Internet, and we called one of them. A pleasant male voice answered. We started talking about preparing material for publication in the media - we did not hide it.

- I have been working as a private detective for a long time, about 5 years, - Anton Ivanov shared with MK in Tver. - Some time ago, we decided to join an agency with other detectives. This makes it easier to solve incoming tasks. There are a lot of areas of activity. One of them, for the family part, is the support of divorce proceedings with the subsequent division of property. We make sure that everything is divided fairly and that neither side hides anything. We are also periodically contacted with cases of theft of property, when law enforcement agencies cannot help the victim or for some reason refuse to conduct a search. In addition, recently, due to the crisis situation in the country, it is common practice when we are hired by various firms and organizations that cannot afford to maintain their security service, and tasks need to be solved.

We are also asked to find debtors, evading alimony payers or property hidden by them, which can be seized. The agency determines the location of the person, his contact details and informs the customer.

- In your practice, have there been cases when the perpetrator actually turned out to be a victim?

- It happens that when investigating criminal cases, the accused is actually innocent, but he does not have enough convincing evidence to challenge the charges. In this case, they also contact us. All the collected information is transmitted to the lawyer, who in turn provides it to the investigative authorities and the court.

- What difference does it make whether to go to you or to the police?

- A private detective agency differs from state law enforcement agencies, first of all, in that we consider each appeal individually, with a scrupulous attitude to the problem. Naturally, we have fewer of them than appeals to official bodies. Therefore, we can spend a month or even more on solving only one customer. Accordingly, based on the labor costs and time spent, the cost of running the project is not cheap.



- That is, an ordinary citizen will not pull the services of a detective?

- Sometimes it happens that we agree to conduct what we call "social projects". That is, we provide services for free. For example, if a deceived pensioner or a person who is simply unable to pay for our services applies, and the situation is vital. Not so long ago, there was a case when the father of a large family, a priest, applied to the agency. His teenage daughter had been writing to some allegedly young man from a fake account for two years, and the girl's father began to seriously worry. The girl was ready to run away from home for the sake of her virtual "beloved". We found out that a woman was hiding behind a fake page. We made it so that it was painless from the point of view of the adolescent psyche to convey this information to the girl, and created such conditions that this woman herself confessed to cheating. She called herself and apologized to the child.

- Do people often ask you to help them catch someone for treason, track someone or, conversely, reveal the surveillance of a person?

- We do not undertake projects related to the detection of treason. By law, a detective is obliged to inform the second party that he is following her, who hired him and what she is accused of. Also, we do not always take up appeals that someone is following a person. First, we find out details about the client, we talk for a long time, trying to understand whether there is a mental disorder behind the alleged surveillance. With such problems, people who live alone often come to a private detective. Simply because they are bored or an exacerbation of some disease has begun.

- How large-scale are your projects?

- The scale of projects usually corresponds to the size of the city and the level of income in it. In large cities, for example in Moscow, detectives participate in corporate wars between large companies, in raider seizures, and in so-called "setups".

- How do you get information? How do you use wiretapping, installing tracking devices, hacking computers in movies?

- It happens that potential customers come to the agency who have watched enough films showing surveillance via satellites, installing "bugs", listening to apartments and phones, hacking e-mails, messengers and pages in social networks. They want exactly the same methods of work from us. In such cases, we have to explain that this is all, firstly, fiction, and secondly-illegal. In reality, the use of such technologies by non-State bodies is a crime. The agency uses only legal methods of obtaining information: for example, we use only expensive cameras with high-quality shooting, smartphones and computers from technical means. In our work, we also analyze social networks and open Internet sources. We also do not forget what we learned in the police: all our employees used to work in law enforcement agencies.

Sometimes you have to conduct a classic outdoor surveillance, which, you probably saw in the movies – - you sit for many hours in the car, the camera is ready, you watch keenly when the object appears. When conducting covert surveillance, it is impossible to do anything other than the observation itself. The form of clothing is everyday, in order to merge with the mass of passers - by on the street.

- Why do people choose such a job? Do I need any documents or permits for it?

- All official private detectives have licenses to work. By the way, you can't get a license without long-term operational experience in law enforcement agencies. There is an option to complete special courses, but there are no such courses in the Tver region. I chose this profession, like many of my colleagues, primarily because the work should be fun. I love the process of finding the right information. A sense of excitement wakes up. Some of my colleagues try themselves in this profession after retirement, when they have a choice: go to security or engage in private investigation. Some people succeed, some do not. However, we can say for sure that there is quite a lot of competition in this market of services and the choice of the client is almost always based on the reputation of a detective. That is why the number of detectives in our region has sharply decreased over the past few years. Many have failed to withstand the competition, or their methods are radically outdated. Well, the fact that it is very difficult to work in this direction alone also gives its results – it is more interesting for the client to come and conclude a contract with a team of professionals than with a single person. We have signed cooperation agreements not only with lawyers, but also with psychologists. Accordingly, it is easier for us to answer any client's question or redirect him to the right professional.

Of course, the work of a private investigator is filled with many nuances that we cannot publish both because of the limited print space, and because our interlocutor asked us to keep some secrets of the profession secret. Perhaps it's for the best, because if the detective's work became completely transparent, attackers could take advantage of it, and the romantic mysterious fleur would disappear.

Expert opinion

But romance is good, as long as you don't need help yourself. How to choose the right private detective and how much it can cost, lawyer Renat Amirov told us:

- The services of private detectives in our country are used by significantly fewer citizens than in the United States or Europe.

In our country, they have much less authority, in addition, the cost of the service plays a big role. For example, the cost of observation on average starts from 3000 rubles for 1 hour. The daily observation can be about 50,000 rubles, which exceeds the average salary of a citizen by region. Accordingly, most people cannot afford such services.

Collecting any data on a citizen or object is cheaper than monitoring. However, now such information can be found for free by yourself, both in a legal way, for example, through Public Services and MFC, and not completely legal-through various telegram bots.

If you can afford such a cost of services, and you can't apply to law enforcement agencies for personal reasons, then you need to choose a private detective carefully. What you should pay attention to:

Availability of a license to carry out private detective activities (including checking it: there is an annually updated register on the Rosgvardiya website, you can download it and view it);

Specialization of a detective (family, business, data collection, surveillance, etc.);

Recommendations from friends and acquaintances. If there are none, then reviews;

Experience and work experience;

Terms of cooperation.

The activities of private detectives are regulated by the law of March 11, 1992 "On private detective and security activities in the Russian Federation". This law discloses all the powers and restrictions in this area.

Large companies that are outsourced to me, despite the presence of a security service, use the services of private detectives. This helps them in checking contractors and potential employees.

Now there are a variety of companies that help to cope with almost any life situations, the main thing is to pay. We are used to it and consider it the prose of life. But there are professions that are still not in sight, and are shrouded in mystery. Private detectives are perhaps the best example. One thing we know for sure: they are among us and they are probably watching someone right now.

But first, a little history. Private detectives appeared relatively recently, in the XIX century, when wild capitalism was established in Europe and fraud, theft and other crimes against property began to flourish. The reason for the appearance of private detective agencies and single detectives was the lack of efficiency of official law enforcement agencies. In addition, in many European countries, "Victorian" mores reigned, in the sense that the reputation of a person or family played an incredibly significant role, the future fate often depended on it. To avoid the publicity of their sensitive affairs, the color of society preferred not to go to the police, but to go, as they would say now, to the "private sector".

- A private detective agency differs from state law enforcement agencies, first of all, in that we consider each appeal individually, with a scrupulous attitude to the problem. Naturally, we have fewer of them than appeals to official bodies. Therefore, we can spend a month or even more on solving only one customer. Accordingly, based on the labor costs and time spent, the cost of running the project is not cheap.



- That is, an ordinary citizen will not pull the services of a detective?

- Sometimes it happens that we agree to conduct what we call "social projects". That is, we provide services for free. For example, if a deceived pensioner or a person who is simply unable to pay for our services applies, and the situation is vital. Not so long ago, there was a case when the father of a large family, a priest, applied to the agency. His teenage daughter had been writing to some allegedly young man from a fake account for two years, and the girl's father began to seriously worry. The girl was ready to run away from home for the sake of her virtual "beloved". We found out that a woman was hiding behind a fake page. We made it so that it was painless from the point of view of the adolescent psyche to convey this information to the girl, and created such conditions that this woman herself confessed to cheating. She called herself and apologized to the child.

- Do people often ask you to help them catch someone for treason, track someone or, conversely, reveal the surveillance of a person?

- We do not undertake projects related to the detection of treason. By law, a detective is obliged to inform the second party that he is following her, who hired him and what she is accused of. Also, we do not always take up appeals that someone is following a person. First, we find out details about the client, we talk for a long time, trying to understand whether there is a mental disorder behind the alleged surveillance. With such problems, people who live alone often come to a private detective. Simply because they are bored or an exacerbation of some disease has begun.

- How large-scale are your projects?

- The scale of projects usually corresponds to the size of the city and the level of income in it. In large cities, for example in Moscow, detectives participate in corporate wars between large companies, in raider seizures, and in so-called "setups".

- How do you get information? How do you use wiretapping, installing tracking devices, hacking computers in movies?

- It happens that potential customers come to the agency who have watched enough films showing surveillance via satellites, installing "bugs", listening to apartments and phones, hacking e-mails, messengers and pages in social networks. They want exactly the same methods of work from us. In such cases, we have to explain that this is all, firstly, fiction, and secondly-illegal. In reality, the use of such technologies by non-State bodies is a crime. The agency uses only legal methods of obtaining information: for example, we use only expensive cameras with high-quality shooting, smartphones and computers from technical means. In our work, we also analyze social networks and open Internet sources. We also do not forget what we learned in the police: all our employees used to work in law enforcement agencies.

Sometimes you have to conduct a classic outdoor surveillance, which, you probably saw in the movies – - you sit for many hours in the car, the camera is ready, you watch keenly when the object appears. When conducting covert surveillance, it is impossible to do anything other than the observation itself. The form of clothing is everyday, in order to merge with the mass of passers - by on the street.

- Why do people choose such a job? Do I need any documents or permits for it?

- All official private detectives have licenses to work. By the way, you can't get a license without long-term operational experience in law enforcement agencies. There is an option to complete special courses, but there are no such courses in the Tver region. I chose this profession, like many of my colleagues, primarily because the work should be fun. I love the process of finding the right information. A sense of excitement wakes up. Some of my colleagues try themselves in this profession after retirement, when they have a choice: go to security or engage in private investigation. Some people succeed, some do not. However, we can say for sure that there is quite a lot of competition in this market of services and the choice of the client is almost always based on the reputation of a detective. That is why the number of detectives in our region has sharply decreased over the past few years. Many have failed to withstand the competition, or their methods are radically outdated. Well, the fact that it is very difficult to work in this direction alone also gives its results – it is more interesting for the client to come and conclude a contract with a team of professionals than with a single person. We have signed cooperation agreements not only with lawyers, but also with psychologists. Accordingly, it is easier for us to answer any client's question or redirect him to the right professional.

Of course, the work of a private investigator is filled with many nuances that we cannot publish both because of the limited print space, and because our interlocutor asked us to keep some secrets of the profession secret. Perhaps it's for the best, because if the detective's work became completely transparent, attackers could take advantage of it, and the romantic mysterious fleur would disappear.

Expert opinion

But romance is good, as long as you don't need help yourself. How to choose the right private detective and how much it can cost, lawyer Renat Amirov told us:

- The services of private detectives in our country are used by significantly fewer citizens than in the United States or Europe.

In our country, they have much less authority, in addition, the cost of the service plays a big role. For example, the cost of observation on average starts from 3000 rubles for 1 hour. The daily observation can be about 50,000 rubles, which exceeds the average salary of a citizen by region. Accordingly, most people cannot afford such services.

Collecting any data on a citizen or object is cheaper than monitoring. However, now such information can be found for free by yourself, both in a legal way, for example, through Public Services and MFC, and not completely legal-through various telegram bots.

If you can afford such a cost of services, and you can't apply to law enforcement agencies for personal reasons, then you need to choose a private detective carefully. What you should pay attention to:

Availability of a license to carry out private detective activities (including checking it: there is an annually updated register on the Rosgvardiya website, you can download it and view it);

Specialization of a detective (family, business, data collection, surveillance, etc.);

Recommendations from friends and acquaintances. If there are none, then reviews;

Experience and work experience;

Terms of cooperation.

The activities of private detectives are regulated by the law of March 11, 1992 "On private detective and security activities in the Russian Federation". This law discloses all the powers and restrictions in this area.

Large companies that are outsourced to me, despite the presence of a security service, use the services of private detectives. This helps them in checking contractors and potential employees.

Now there are a variety of companies that help to cope with almost any life situations, the main thing is to pay. We are used to it and consider it the prose of life. But there are professions that are still not in sight, and are shrouded in mystery. Private detectives are perhaps the best example. One thing we know for sure: they are among us and they are probably watching someone right now.
