Tracking down fugitives requires a combination of expertise, technology, and strategic investigation. While law enforcement agencies possess the resources and authority to apprehend criminals, private investigators provide essential support in locating fugitives, particularly in complex cases or when resources are stretched thin.
At PHENIX Investigations, we specialize in fugitive location services, leveraging our investigative skills, surveillance techniques, and advanced technology to assist law enforcement agencies in bringing fugitives to justice.
The Challenges of Locating Fugitives
Fugitives often employ various tactics to evade capture, including:
Changing identities or using aliases.
Relocating frequently to avoid detection.
Utilizing off-grid living techniques.
Hiding in foreign countries or remote areas.
Engaging in financial transactions that are hard to trace.
These tactics make it difficult for law enforcement to track fugitives, especially when cases span multiple jurisdictions.
