DIS COMPANY NEWS
Happy New Start
Our
President, Daniel Deere, has sold his interest in a regional
investigative agency, so that we may concentrate on the needs of our
local claims clients.
PROSECUTIONS
Case: 15766

to our carrier client in Oct 2005. The claim was denied when it was
discovered an unlicensed or excluded operator had the loss..
Subsequently Ms. W claimed her vehicle was repaired then stolen.

Ms. W sold the vehicle as salvage to a Baltimore area repair
shop. Ms. W was charged with insurance fraud and attempted felony

Executive Protection and Polygraph examinations. Call either Bill

New Innovations
DIS has expanded its use of national data
bases to include both online and hand searched court records across the
nation. This will allow EIB clients to have Court records directly from
the jurisdiction of origin in a most timely manner. EIB only
utilizes databases that do not sell to the general public and require
proof of investigative licensure. DIS continues to protect
individual privacy by accessing only relevant data for a determined
permissible purpose.
Quality Control
DIS employs agents with
the highest level of integrity and skill. Our corporate model
still requires routine integrity testing of agents. DIS has
expanded its internal audit to include the use of GPS enabled cellular
technology that allows supervisors to immediately verify the location
of its agents at any given time. This integrity audit assures DIS
clients and strategic partners of ongoing internal field supervision.
