When you think of private investigators, you might picture long hours in parked cars or following suspects on foot. Today, surveillance is just as likely to be conducted from the air, thanks to the emergence of drones as essential tools in private investigation. Drones offer several unique advantages over traditional surveillance methods.
What can drones do for your case?
- Monitor Hard-to-Reach Areas: Drones are ideal for observing remote sites, construction areas, rural properties, or locations that are inaccessible or unsafe for operatives.
- Aerial Evidence Collection: High-resolution photography and video from above can provide compelling evidence in legal disputes, property issues, or insurance claims.
- Discreet Observation: Unlike a visible presence on the ground, drones can monitor subjects without attracting attention, making surveillance more effective and less likely to be compromised.
- Quick Deployment: When time is of the essence, drones can be launched rapidly to cover ground much faster than a traditional team.

Of course, drone usage in the UK is regulated, and it’s important to ensure compliance with the law. At Dolos Investigations, all our operators are trained and certified, and every operation is carried out within current regulations and with respect for privacy.
