We work closely with a wide range of risk-conscious clients, including third-party administrators (TPAs), insurance companies, attorneys, and businesses. Our specialization in defense work ensures that we maintain objectivity and professionalism in every case. By exclusively serving defense-side clients, we eliminate any potential conflicts of interest that could arise from representing plaintiffs. This commitment allows us to focus on providing unbiased and thorough investigations, which are essential for protecting our clients’ interests and minimizing risk.

Expertise in Surveillance

Surveillance is at the core of what we do, and it’s what has earned us a reputation as Cincinnati’s premier surveillance company. With over 100 years of combined experience on our team, we bring unparalleled expertise to every investigation. Our investigators are highly trained in both covert and overt surveillance techniques, allowing us to gather critical evidence while maintaining discretion. Whether it’s for fraud investigations, domestic matters, or workplace issues, we leverage our expertise to uncover the truth and provide actionable insights.

Personalized Service

At GCI, we believe in offering personalized service to every client. Unlike many firms that routinely outsource investigations to third-party vendors, we handle each case internally whenever possible to maintain quality and consistency.

Our goal is to deliver a tailored solution that best meets the client’s objectives, with no surprises along the way.
