Private Detective Agency Cologne, Germany | Cologne Private Investigators

According to Section 627 of the German Civil Code, detective services constitute “services of a higher nature […] which are usually entrusted on the basis of special trust”, grant special discretionary powers to detectives (Section 665 of the German Civil Code), but also oblige them to maintain ongoing coordination with the client. Consequently, after being commissioned by you, we remain in constant dialogue with you to coordinate further procedures, particularly in the case of surveillance activities and day-based or hour-based or otherwise clearly limited deployment agreements. The only exceptions are specially agreed flat-rate offers such as address investigations, which usually take a few days to weeks and in which, in more than half of the cases, interim consultations do not promise any added value for the chances of success of the investigations.

Private investigations conducted by detectives may become necessary for numerous reasons.

The people of Cologne, with their eventful history during and after the Second World War, are without doubt a very special kind of people who, despite these dramatic events, as a result of which the population fell from over 800,000 to a temporarily almost unbelievable 100,000, have managed to preserve their traditions and their enjoyment of life. It is not without reason that the saying applies: “Kölsch is the only language you can drink.”

 

Thefts and forgeries are sold at Cologne’s art markets (Art Cologne). Persons liable for maintenance abscond. Maintenance recipients do not declare their full income or secretly live in a relationship akin to marriage. Debtors go underground. Potential heirs are unknown. There are cases of defamation, insult, coercion, blackmail, stalking, or other harassment. In Cologne, daytime residential burglary is also an everyday occurrence, as major police operations from the past demonstrate: whenever the investigative authorities mobilise many forces, it is possible to catch burglars in the act. With normal “troop strength”, this is unfortunately hardly possible, leaving only subsequent burglary investigations, which in the vast majority of cases are unsuccessful on the part of the authorities – or alternatively, the path to a Cologne private detective.

 

For the individual, the events mentioned are a tragedy; for the experienced investigator, they are everyday work. You are not alone with your problems – the private detectives of Kurtz Investigations Cologne will help: +49 221 4558 0377.

Drug Crime in Cologne Continues to Rise

A particularly sensitive field in the area of private investigations conducted by Kurtz Detective Agency Cologne is drug crime. Every year, around 60 people die in our beautiful city as a result of drug consumption. Statisticians count an average of over 40 trials per week in connection with drug offences at Cologne courts. Ultimately, everyone is the architect of their own fortune, and we do not wish to pass moral judgement. However, where the general public or close relatives are affected, the issue ceases to be a purely personal one. In Cologne alone, annual economic damage of over 100 million euros arises as a consequence of acquisition-related crime. Due to the high density of dealers and the general familiarity of supply locations, narcotics are cheaper in Cologne than almost anywhere else in Germany. One gram of “grass” sometimes costs less than 6 euros here.

 

Drug dealing is a control offence, meaning: the more frequent the controls, the more offences are recorded. Statistics are therefore in the hands of the police themselves. In general, Cologne police face drug trafficking relatively powerless – this conclusion has now been reached. “A city like Cologne has to live with a certain level of drug crime,” Police President Wolfgang Albers correctly admits. The focus is instead on combating the aforementioned acquisition-related crime, through which addicts obtain their drug money and commit a wide range of criminal offences (for example burglary, theft, robbery), which propel them into an ever-faster spiral of social decline and can destroy all personal career plans as well as those of their parents. All the more important, therefore, that those affected (addicts and their relatives) can also be helped privately and discreetly.
