Surveillance in Memphis & West Tennessee

Surveillance is the foundation of most private investigations, and it's also the easiest service to get wrong. Amateur or careless surveillance gets noticed, gets challenged in court, or simply fails to capture what actually happened. Granite Investigative Group's surveillance investigators are trained, licensed, and equipped to observe and document activity in Memphis and throughout West Tennessee without ever compromising the case.

Whether you're an attorney building a record for litigation, an insurance carrier verifying a claim, or an individual who needs the truth about a spouse or business partner, our surveillance work is built around one standard: everything we capture has to be admissible, timestamped, and defensible under cross-examination.

Situations Where Memphis Clients Request Surveillance

Surveillance investigations are common across a wide range of legal, insurance, and personal matters throughout Shelby County and West Tennessee.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is surveillance legal in Tennessee?

Yes. Licensed private investigators may lawfully observe and document subjects in public spaces and any location where there is no reasonable expectation of privacy. Granite's investigators operate strictly within Tennessee law on every case.

How long does a surveillance investigation take?

It depends on the subject's patterns and the goal of the case. Some cases resolve in a single day of observation; others require coverage across several days or weeks to capture a representative picture.

Will the subject know they're being watched?

Our investigators are trained in discreet, low-profile surveillance specifically so the subject does not become aware of the observation, which protects both the investigation and the evidence.

Can surveillance footage be used in court?

Yes, when it's captured and documented properly. Granite's reports include timestamps, location data, and a clear chain of custody so the footage can support litigation, claims, or legal proceedings.

Do you cover areas outside Memphis?

Yes. While we're headquartered in Memphis, Granite provides surveillance investigation throughout all 21 counties of the West Tennessee grand division.

What does a surveillance report include?

You'll receive a written narrative of observed activity alongside organized photo and video evidence, time-stamped and indexed for easy reference by you or your attorney.
