We recently received our Cheyenne, Wyoming Private Investigator license. While the state of Wyoming has no PI licensing requirements, it is required to work within the city limits of Cheyenne. At this time we are one of only a handful of Cheyenne licensed private investigators and therefore when you are in need of a surveillance investigator in Cheyenne or Colorado or elsewhere in Wyoming, you can call us. Cheyenne is only a couple of hours north of our Denver, Colorado office.

Based out of Denver, Colorado, we have been conducting surveillance investigations since 1984. With over three decades of surveillance experience, you might suspect that we have seen a few changes over the years.

 With today’s technology, private investigators have access to phones, voice mail, texts and emails, from nearly anyplace the investigation might take them. However this was not always the case.

 In the early days of surveillance investigations we were armed with Beaulieu Super 8 movie cameras.  These had approximately 3 minutes of film per roll, which meant that if the investigator was obtaining substantial film, they would continuously have to reload the camera, leaving spots in the subject’s activity that they were not able to document. After obtaining the evidence, the investigator would then have to get this film developed. In those days, an investigator out on assignment was really on their own, with no communications to anybody else. Those were the days before cell phones, before pagers etc. In order to make a phone call and investigator would have to break away from their case, locate a pay phone (try to locate one of those now), make the call and then return to their case. This was a very risky proposition as a surveillance investigator as there was always the chance that you would return to your case and your subject would be gone. Therefore you would try to limit these trips to the pay phone to only “emergency” situations. Of course, over the years some things don’t change such as your client will think they frequently have “emergency” situations, when they need to speak to you as soon as possible.

Shortly after that we were armed with pagers, but you still had the same problem of locating a pay phone and breaking away from your case, any time you were paged. Still you tried to only do this for “emergency” situations and in those days, who didn’t get a page from time to time that started with 911, followed by the number to call? This meant ASAP, but many times it was a situation that could have waited. So while technology had some advantages, it also had a down side.

 The advent of the video camera came next. This had to be wired into a full sized VCR, while you were filming. This was really a problem, when the investigator was required to get out on foot, to follow a subject. Not only did the investigator have a huge, very obvious camera, but  also had to carry a VCR in a pack, which was strapped over the investigator’s shoulder. Being a Denver, Colorado private investigator, from time to time this meant that you also had to carry this entire “package” up the ski slopes, and have this on while you are skiing behind the subject you are following. One wrong turn or bump hit wrong and you quickly learn what skiers mean by having a “yard sale” on the slope.

 Next the investigator received a technology boost, with the advent of cell phones. However, early cell phones were  affectionately referred to as the “brick phone”  because they were about the size of a  brick. These large phones also came with a large monthly bill. In those days you were only able to make calls in your “home area” without huge expenses, but go outside that area and you would get roaming charges, usually over $1.00 per minute. So while the investigator was carrying around the “brick phone” it was a good thing that the technology for cameras was becoming more convenient, with the advent of the mini-cam, which was a self contained video camera, where the videotape was inside the camera. No longer a need to carry an entire, full sized VCR.

 Compare those early years to what we have today. Every investigator has at least one cell phone, that is practically a complete computer in itself. Cameras come in many sizes, shapes and forms, all of which are much smaller than the early cameras. In the early days, who would have ever thought there would be a day, when a camera was actually inside a pen, a button, a cap or your own phone.

Today a surveillance investigator is very rarely completely out of touch with others and I am not sure that this is actually a good thing.

 Technology has made leaps and bounds and has given the modern private investigator some incredible tools, but it is always fun to reminisce about the equipment we used a “few” years back.

It is a very difficult situation when you suspect a loved one of cheating on you and the worse part is the “not knowing for sure.” We field calls all the time of people who suspect spousal infidelity, wanting to know if we can help. The phone call usually starts with “I have never done anything like this, but I need to hire a private investigator.” You are not alone with your situation and we understand how difficult it is to pick up the phone and make that first phone call. But rest assured, we understand your situation and would like nothing more than to find out that your suspicions are unfounded and you have nothing to worry about when it comes to your spouse.

Many people try to find out for themselves or have a friend follow their spouse. That is not advised as often times the spouse discovers somebody trying to do this, who is not a professional. If you decide that you want to find out, call a professional investigator. The initial consultation is FREE, so call us and see if we can help you.

An experienced Colorado licensed private investigator can conduct surveillance to assist you with your needs in a variety of cases. Surveillance can be a great tool when you are involved in a domestic situation such as separation or divorce. Depending on where your case was filed (in Colorado or in another state) the results can benefit your case in varying ways.

The most common reason an individual might hire a Colorado licensed private investigator is to verify suspicions of infidelity. These types of investigations are conducted every day, all over the country. We understand that this is often a difficult first phone call to make. Let us make you feel at ease by allowing you to talk to a professional investigator, to discuss your needs, free of charge. That’s right, the initial consultation is always free.

Another example would be if you are paying alimony, yet your significant other is discretely living with another party who is contributing to the household budget, if not completely supporting your ex. Should you then be responsible for the same amount of alimony? Placing the residence under surveillance can give you the proof you need to go back into court and ask for a review of the financial situation.

One more example would be to place the other party under surveillance to see what type of individuals they might associate with and if your children are exposed to people of questionable character or placed in dangerous situations.

These are all examples from real cases handled by the investigators of Night Moves of Denver. Call us today to see if surveillance can assist you with your case.

Then it is much more difficult to conduct a discreet surveillance on this same subject as they will be on high alert.

What do private investigators say are the most common signs of a cheating spouse?

When you suspect infidelity in your relationship it can be difficult to determine whether or not your suspicions are valid and if so, what to do next. At PInow, we surveyed our network of trusted infidelity investigators to find out what, in their experience, are the common indications of infidelity in a relationship. The following graphic displays the six major signs of a cheating spouse, what to expect in an infidelity investigation and other statistics on infidelity and marriage.

And the 6 common signs of a cheating spouse are …

Other signs included concealing credit card statements or having bills mailed to a P.O. box, finding strange receipts, going out or running long errands without the spouse, flirting with friends of the opposite sex and a change in overall attitude. Infidelity investigations can cost anywhere from $500 to $5,000 and last anywhere from 4 hours to 6 months. Most investigators said their investigations verify infidelity 75-100% of the time. Other statistics show that when spouses cheat, 55% of the time it’s the husband while 45% of the time it’s the wife. 30-60% of married people will cheat on their spouse according to a range that compensates for dishonesty among study participants.  74% of husbands and 68% of wives say they would have an affair if they knew they wouldn’t get caught. Wives who suspect their husbands are cheating are correct 85% of the time, while husbands who suspect their wives are cheating are correct 50% of the time. Marriage statistics were provided by the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy, Indiana University, Business Week, The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.
