Employee Infiltration by Detectives – Theft of Company Property in Cologne

The theft of company property is a kind of “popular pastime.” Sometimes a pen here, a toner cartridge there, a pair of pliers here, a coffee machine there. In the employee’s mindset, it often seems normal to take “small items” from the employer’s property. Yet theft is theft, and an existing employment relationship does not change that – indeed, a trusted relationship can even lead to greater disappointment for the victim. In 2014, the Cologne Ford plant was demonstrably the victim of extensive thefts: dashboards and other components intended for sale abroad.

 

Friendships have already been broken due to the greed of individuals. Our corporate detective agency in Cologne once handled a case in which the company owner’s best friend and oldest employee, together with his son, falsified invoices, pocketed amounts illicitly and, using company transport vehicles, built up a competing business – including the secret poaching of regular clients.

 

The situation becomes particularly critical when valuable resources are stolen. In addition to the everyday surveillance work performed by detectives, you can also make use of employee infiltration. This is often referred to as the “ultimate discipline” in the detective profession. Only an exceptionally prudent, versatile detective with excellent interpersonal skills can execute such a sensitive assignment perfectly: +49 221 4558 0377.

Detective as an Official Employee

For employee infiltration, one of our corporate detectives in Cologne is officially employed in your company. They act as a fully integrated member of staff, familiarise themselves with colleagues, build friendships and participate in the social life of your business. In this way, the detective develops a keen sense for your employees’ routines and dispositions, can provide a wealth of useful information about trends and facts within your company, and will ultimately be able to identify the perpetrator(s) of legal violations causing harm to your business.

 

Please note that employee infiltration is among the most costly measures in the detective profession, as the assigned corporate detective will usually need to act and work as your employee over an extended period.
