Private Investigations in Raleigh, NC

New arrivals keep Raleigh growing year after year, drawn by jobs in state government, technology, universities, and healthcare. That constant movement is part of why people call a private investigator in Raleigh: a co-parent relocates across the Triangle, a new business partner’s past is hard to verify, or a witness has moved twice since the incident. 360 Protection Group provides licensed investigations throughout Wake County, from our base in the Charlotte area.

Hiring a Private Investigator in Raleigh

Raleigh’s legal community revolves around the Wake County Justice Center downtown, which serves one of the fastest-growing counties in the country. We prepare findings for attorneys there across family, civil, and criminal matters.

Family cases here often involve relocation. One parent takes a job in Cary or Wake Forest, the other stays in Raleigh, and the custody schedule starts to slip. In divorces, North Carolina’s one-year separation requirement and its system of equitable distribution mean that timelines, spending, and income all get close scrutiny. Documentation of a spouse’s conduct before the date of separation can also matter, since that is the period on which alienation of affection and criminal conversation claims are based.

On the business side, clients range from small firms to growing technology and life science companies near Research Triangle Park. We look into partners who may be running competing ventures, contractors whose credentials do not check out, and people whose histories in other states nobody has verified.

Four Stages of a Raleigh Investigation

1. Assessment: A confidential call where we learn the facts and explain what an investigation can and cannot do.
2. Proposal: A written scope, method, and budget for your approval.
3. Execution: Surveillance, interviews, and records research with progress updates.
4. Delivery: A written report with supporting photos, video, and documents.

Read our detailed investigation walkthrough to see how each stage works.

All of our work respects North Carolina law. We do not access other people’s accounts or devices, attach trackers illegally, or use false pretenses that could compromise your case. Evidence obtained lawfully is evidence your attorney can use.

State Capital, State Records

As the seat of state government, Raleigh is where many public records originate, but knowing where to look still takes experience. We pull court filings from the Clerk of Superior Court and through North Carolina’s eCourts system, check business registrations and property records, and verify what we find in the field. That way your attorney is working from confirmed facts rather than a summary from a commercial database.

Our founder and lead investigator, Jaymes Holden, has more than 30 years of law enforcement and investigative experience, and our team includes licensed investigators and former law enforcement. We understand how evidence will be tested at the Justice Center and we write our reports with that in mind.

We will not promise a specific outcome, because no honest investigator can. What we will do is tell you plainly what the evidence shows, what it does not, and where the gaps are.

Raleigh FAQs

The other parent lives in a different Triangle town. Can you still help with my custody case?

Yes. We conduct surveillance and documentation across Wake, Durham, Johnston, and Orange counties, so a case that crosses town or county lines is routine for us.

How does the one-year separation affect an infidelity investigation?

North Carolina requires a year of separation before an absolute divorce, and certain claims depend on conduct before the separation date. Your attorney can explain how timing affects your situation, and we will plan our work around that advice.

Can you verify the background of someone who just moved to Raleigh?

We research records across the states where the person has lived and confirm details through fieldwork when needed.

Is your firm licensed in North Carolina?

Yes. We hold the licensing required by the North Carolina Private Protective Services Board, which regulates private investigators in the state.

What does a Raleigh investigation cost?

Costs depend on the hours of surveillance or research, the complexity of the case, and travel. We provide an estimate at the start so you can plan.
