Walton Investigations is pleased to provide a range of corporate services to a wide variety of industries.

Executive Protection Services
In this day and age workplace violence is a real possibility. Among the variety of triggers are employee termination, sexual obsessions with co-workers, or simply untreated stress that explodes at the wrong time. Drugs and narcotics are present in many of these types of cases.

Managers and executives, in order to protect their employees and the economic structure of the company must deal with these issues. In doing so, they make themselves a target for the rage of a terminated or soon to be terminated employee.  Retaliation can range from verbal abuse to outright death threats.

Walton Investigations can arrange and provide protection services for your management and employees. This protection is provided in the following phases:

  • Prior to an employee’s termination:
 
  A complete evaluation of the property, including location of key offices, entrances and exits, both to the building and to the property.
 
  • On day of the termination process:
 
  The property will be secured by our agents
An agent will be present to ensure that the employee does not become violent
 
  • Once the former employee is off the property:
 
  The former employee will be placed under surveillance by our agents for a period of time specified by you
If at any time during that period, the subject comes within a predefined perimeter (usually 1 mile of the property), you will be notified immediately. All of these services are performed as discreetly as possible.
 

All of these services are performed as discreetly as possible. Our agents are plainclothes and drive common vehicles. In most cases the entire job can be done without the knowledge of your employees. This allows them to continue their work without interruption, and reduces or eliminates the panic factor.

If you suspect a problem in the above area, please call us immediately. We can arrange a free consultation.

The time to deal with this type of problem is at the outset, when you first suspect it, not after the employee is terminated and you have to have him/her forcibly removed by police.

H.R. Manager Services
As an H.R. manager, you just may have one of the toughest jobs in the world. Most aspects of the day to day operation of the company will come though your department at some point. Walton Investigations can help you in some of the most critical areas of your job.




  • Employment Screening

It all starts right here. As you know, many people are quite good at getting a job, i.e. they interview well, make a nice presentation, etc. but once they get in the door, they are lousy employees.

Walton Investigations offers sophisticated screening services, starting with a complete criminal background check and residential history report based on a SSN trace. We will verify the SSN, previous addresses, degrees, contact references and even interview neighbors. We can arrange drug screening, and polygraph tests as well.

Many people choose to use a temp service for these tasks. The problem is that this is an investigative process. Most temp services will make a few basic checks such as a local criminal check at the county courthouse. They may or may not verify any other information.

The result is that people who should not be hired get in, while people who should be considered may be dismissed due to faulty investigative techniques.

Don’t take chances. Use a licensed investigative firm to screen your employees.

  • Worker's Comp Fraud

Every company has them. People who claim to be hurt while on the job. They file a workers compensation claim, which you, the employer must fund a portion of. After this they do one of two things.

  1. They take a vacation on your dime
  2. They begin working another job while YOU fund their workers comp claim.

Both acts are illegal, and both cost employers and consumers MILLIONS each year. Some estimates are that more than 80% of workers comp claims are fraudulent. Some may have been legitimate at the time of the claim, but the subject still claims the injury long after they are fully recovered.

At Walton Investigations, we have the knowledge and the technical expertise to catch workers comp cheats and to save thousands of dollars for your company.

Videotaped evidence and accurate, detailed reporting mean that most cases will be settled out of court with the claimant simply giving up the claim. We can give you tips on how to spot workers comp fraud.

  • Employee Theft

This is a problem for many companies. By using techniques from undercover agents and stings to video surveillance, Walton Investigations can help you keep your theft rates, and your insurance rates low, saving you money!

  • Employee Fraternization

Many corporations have policies regarding employee dating. The problem is that when two employees become romantically involved, especially if one is subordinate, there is great potential for problems.

Things are usually ok until the relationship ends, and when it does, one party usually claims sexual harassment. The lawsuits fly and your company is usually named because you are said to have enabled the situation.

This is all too common and it minimizes the importance of REAL sexual harassment claims. Walton Investigations can document evidence of a consensual relationship between two employees, thereby making it harder for a lawsuit to be won against your company.

This is done very discreetly. Neither your employees, nor the subjects of the investigation will be aware of it. The evidence will be turned over to you and or your attorneys.

  • Process Service

Walton Investigations will serve civil process on corporations or individuals.

In most cases you can’t wait a week or two for the sheriff to complete the service.
We will attempt the service within 24 hours.

We provide locate services for hard to find subjects.

Walton Investigations provides these and many other corporate services. Please contact us if you have questions. Consultation is always free. Your situation may not require an investigator. If so, we’ll tell you and then explain how you can solve the problem yourself.
