Employee Monitoring in Bielefeld and Germany

According to official statistics, after falling in 2012 and 2013 the total number of criminal offences in Bielefeld rose by 7.5 % in 2014 (from 26,001 to 27,942). These figures include only those economic crime cases processed by the police — omitting all proceedings investigated by customs or tax authorities. Through the cases handled by the police alone, damage of almost €7 million was incurred in 2014.


Consequently, it comes as no surprise that given these enormous losses the demand for private investigations in the Ostwestfalen-Lippe region is high. The detectives of Kurtz Investigations Bielefeld and East Westphalia are at your disposal at any time: +49 521 2567 0055. 

Employee crime in German companies

In many cases economic crime committed against companies is not carried out by outsiders, but by persons within the firm: be it an employee submitting false sick-leave statements thus placing colleagues — and hence the employer — under pressure, or logging more hours than actually worked (wage payment fraud). Unfortunately, employees sometimes act very unscrupulously. That this involves not only criminal offences but may also damage colleagues, insurers, the employer and ultimately the employee themselves through job loss, often does not appear to deter them sufficiently.

Observation, research, bait-traps, infiltration — our detectives’ diverse investigation methods

In many cases dishonest employees can be tracked by detective observation. It becomes more complex, however, when dealing with competitive fraud or industrial espionage. These offences are not obvious but often only detected after a long period: for example, when pictures of your new product series appear online or a competitor is informed about your development department.

 

In these special cases the investigators of Kurtz Detective Agency Bielefeld and East Westphalia advise infiltration of your business. One of our detectives is effectively employed by you as an employee, works in the immediate environment of the suspect, spends as much time as possible — also outside the company — with the suspect and can thus present court-usable evidence to you. This detective work is usually time-consuming and thus correspondingly cost-intensive; therefore you should obtain thorough consultation from our economic detectives in Bielefeld: +49 521 2567 0055.
