Don’t get me wrong, I love a good search to get an investigation going, but I also don’t want to check the status of a target every day (or multiple times a day) and run the bill up. This is especially applicable for arrest statuses.

So here’s a pro tip:

With the Watchdog Service, you can set your subject on real-time, 24/7 watch so you’ll know when they get arrested or booked. You’ll get instant alerts, so no need to keep checking their status. Just set it and forget it.

This product was originally inspired by use cases for bail bondsmen. As you can imagine, having automatic alerts when their FTAs are arrested is more than helpful. But use cases kept growing and all Delvepoint customers have access.

 

Recently, a PI was telling me he has a large corporate client with hundreds of employees. As a part of his due diligence for the company, he puts every employee in Watchdog. If he gets an alert, he is able to inform the employer, who can then take immediate action, if necessary.

The industries benefiting from this service are far-reaching. I’ve heard from process servers who use it in case their hard-to-find target gets arrested (there’s no easier place to serve someone than in jail!), PIs who use it as a part of their ongoing investigations, and so many more.

Give it a try on your next investigation! And as always, feel free to reach out if you have any questions, need assistance or have feedback. We’re here to help.
