Image CERTIFIED FRAUD EXAMINATION AND INVESTIGATION Knowing where to look for evidence of fraud is key to any claims investigation. We uncover defects, manipulation, tampering, system flaws, spoiliation and a host of other factors. We also provide fraud detection training programs for government agencies and private and professional organizations. 
BURGLAR AND FIRE ALARM REPORTING SERVICESTM  A risk management program that minimizes loss potential by taking the guess work out of alarm system performance, before a loss occurs. Less than 1% of all alarm companies are UL-Listed and many states do not require any form of competency licensing to practice alarm contracting. This huge gap in standards applied, can negatively affect the performance of any alarm system. Our unique program analyzes the electronic adequacy of all types of alarm systems by means of an in-depth technical survey. Both on-site and off-site surveys and technical analysis are offered nationwide.
