Infidelity Investigation Course

Lesson 1 • Evidence Standards and Admissibility

Introduces what constitutes usable evidence in civil and family proceedings. Grounds all subsequent fieldwork in outcome-oriented evidence thinking.

Lesson 2 • Case Intake and Client Assessment

Teaches structured intake interviews and emotional screening of clients. Ensures investigators accept only viable, legally sound cases.

Lesson 3 • Legal and Ethical Boundaries

Covers privacy laws, consent requirements, and ethical obligations governing evidence collection. Prevents illegal conduct that would invalidate findings or create liability.

Lesson 1 • Public Records and Database Research

Teaches access to court records, property records, and business filings to build factual subject profiles. Reveals assets, addresses, and associates relevant to the case.

Lesson 2 • Open-Source Intelligence Fundamentals

Introduces OSINT principles applied to individual subjects. Connects background research to pattern recognition used throughout the investigation.

Lesson 3 • Social Media Profiling Techniques

Covers systematic review of public social media for behavioural clues and contact mapping. Feeds directly into identifying persons of interest and locations.

Lesson 1 • Cover Stories and Disguise Basics

Develops believable cover identities and appearance adjustments for field operatives. Maintains investigator anonymity across repeated visits to the same area.

Lesson 2 • Surveillance Types and Selection

Compares stationary, mobile, and technical surveillance and their appropriate use cases. Matching method to case type prevents wasted resources and detection.

Lesson 3 • Operational Planning and Briefing

Structures a written surveillance plan including objectives, roles, timing, and abort criteria. Ensures all team members operate from a shared, documented mission framework.

Lesson 1 • Counter-Surveillance Awareness

Identifies behaviours indicating the subject suspects surveillance and teaches appropriate responses. Protects case integrity and investigator safety when detection risk rises.

Lesson 2 • Mobile Vehicle Surveillance

Teaches single-vehicle and multi-vehicle follow techniques, gap management, and traffic navigation. Enables continuous subject coverage across urban and suburban environments.

Lesson 3 • Foot Surveillance in Urban Environments

Develops pedestrian follow skills including pace matching, parallel routes, and hand-offs. Extends coverage into locations inaccessible to vehicles.

Lesson 1 • Camera Equipment Selection and Setup

Covers camera types, lens selection, and covert housing options suited to infidelity fieldwork. Proper equipment choice determines image quality and operational concealment.

Lesson 2 • Evidence Authentication and Chain of Custody

Establishes procedures for hashing, logging, and storing media files from capture to delivery. Authenticated media withstands legal challenge and client scrutiny.

Lesson 3 • Photography Techniques in the Field

Teaches exposure settings, focus techniques, and framing for low-light and long-distance shots. Ensures images are sharp, identifiable, and contextually clear.

Lesson 1 • Legal Boundaries of Digital Investigation

Defines what digital access is lawful for non-law-enforcement investigators and what constitutes unauthorised access. Prevents criminal exposure before any digital work begins.

Lesson 2 • Email and Cloud Account Indicators

Teaches identification of suspicious email patterns and cloud storage activity using authorised access. Links digital behaviour to physical surveillance findings.

Lesson 3 • Analysing Shared Device Activity

Covers review of browser history, app usage, and communication logs on devices the client has lawful access to. Extracts behavioural patterns without violating access laws.

Lesson 1 • Detecting Deception in Interviews

Introduces behavioural and linguistic indicators of deception in verbal accounts. Improves accuracy of information assessment from all human sources.

Lesson 2 • Developing and Managing Informants

Covers ethical recruitment, handling, and protection of voluntary informants close to the subject. Informant intelligence can confirm or redirect surveillance priorities.

Lesson 3 • Witness and Neighbour Contacts

Teaches lawful approaches to neighbours, coworkers, and acquaintances as information sources. Expands the evidence base beyond client testimony and direct observation.

Lesson 1 • Writing Clear Factual Narratives

Teaches objective, precise language for describing observations without opinion or inference. Factual narratives protect the investigator from legal challenge and misinterpretation.

Lesson 2 • Testifying and Supporting Legal Proceedings

Prepares investigators to present findings in depositions, mediation, or court as expert witnesses. Credible testimony amplifies the value of a well-documented investigation.

Lesson 3 • Compiling and Presenting Evidence Packages

Covers organisation of photos, video, logs, and digital artifacts into a coherent evidence package. Proper packaging ensures clients and attorneys can navigate findings efficiently.

Lesson 4 • Investigative Report Structure

Defines the components of a professional investigation report including summary, methodology, findings, and evidence index. A well-structured report communicates credibility and thoroughness.
