Focused Intelligence. Lawful Surveillance. Defensible Results.

Effective surveillance is never random. It is structured, legally compliant, and driven by verified intelligence.

Investigative Risk Management provides intelligence led surveillance services across Canada, supporting insurance companies, WSIB related investigations, corporate clients, legal professionals, and public sector organizations.

Our approach begins with analysis. Background intelligence, behavioral indicators, timelines, and risk assessments guide operational planning. Surveillance resources are deployed strategically, ensuring efficiency, discretion, and evidentiary value.

The objective is clear documentation that supports informed decision making.

What Is Intelligence Led Surveillance

Intelligence led surveillance integrates investigative research with field operations. Before surveillance begins, relevant data is assessed to determine:

• Subject patterns and routines
• Employment and activity indicators
• Online presence and behavioral signals
• Geographic considerations
• Risk exposure factors
• Legal parameters governing the assignment

This intelligence driven model reduces unnecessary operational time and increases the likelihood of obtaining relevant, actionable evidence.

Surveillance becomes focused, efficient, and purposeful.

Mobile Surveillance Capabilities

Mobile surveillance is often required when monitoring subject activity across multiple locations. IRM deploys experienced surveillance professionals trained in lawful observation, documentation, and reporting.

Mobile surveillance services may include:

• Activity verification for insurance claims
• WSIB related investigations involving reported injury limitations
• Corporate internal investigations
• Due diligence assignments
• Litigation support surveillance

Field investigators operate with discretion and professionalism while adhering to provincial and federal legal standards.

Video and photographic documentation is collected where legally permissible and preserved according to evidentiary best practices.

Applications for Insurance and WSIB Investigations

Insurance carriers and workplace safety boards require objective evidence to assess claims accurately. Intelligence led surveillance supports:

• Verification of reported physical limitations
• Assessment of occupational activity
• Identification of undisclosed employment
• Confirmation of lifestyle inconsistencies
• Documentation supporting benefit review processes

Clear, time stamped documentation assists adjusters, legal counsel, and adjudicators in evaluating claims based on facts rather than assumptions.

Surveillance findings are presented in structured reports designed for review in administrative hearings or legal proceedings.

Corporate and Municipal applications

Organizations utilize intelligence led surveillance in a range of circumstances, including:

• Suspected conflict of interest activity
• Unlawful competition or policy violations
• Asset misappropriation concerns
• Workplace misconduct investigations
• Executive risk monitoring

Surveillance operations are coordinated with corporate leadership and legal counsel to ensure compliance with privacy legislation and employment law standards.

Each assignment is evaluated carefully to ensure that surveillance is appropriate, proportional, and legally defensible.

Legal Compliance and Evidentiary Integrity

Surveillance activities in Canada are governed by privacy laws and legal precedent. IRM conducts all operations within established legal frameworks to protect client interests and maintain admissibility.

Our process includes:

• Pre operational legal assessment
• Defined scope of engagement
• Lawful public domain observation
• Secure evidence handling and storage
• Detailed chronological reporting
• Court ready documentation when required

Reporting and Documentation

The value of surveillance lies in how findings are documented and presented.

IRM provides structured reports that include:

• Chronological activity summaries
• Photographic and video documentation where applicable
• Observational analysis
• Operational notes
• Executive summary for decision makers

Reports are clear, factual, and free from speculation. This disciplined reporting standard ensures that findings withstand scrutiny in administrative hearings, arbitration, or court proceedings.

Evidence That Supports Decisions

Surveillance should clarify facts, reduce uncertainty, and support responsible decision making.

Intelligence led surveillance provides a structured path from suspicion to verified documentation. Insurance assessments become more accurate. Corporate investigations become more defensible. Legal strategies become more informed.
