Smaller communities require careful handling, confidentiality and an understanding of local relationships.
Remote logistics
Travel distances, timing, rosters, weather, road conditions and access issues can affect investigation planning.
Evidence standards
Investigation work must be documented clearly so the information can be used by clients, lawyers or decision-makers.
