About us
Qualified Investigations is a leader in the world of OSINT, Surveillance, Skip Tracing, Background Investigations, Technology and Interviewing.
Qualified Investigations is owned and led by Chris Cloud, a former Navy Submarine Electronics Technician who went on to a career in wireless telecommunications and network design, including major NFL and MLB stadium projects. Chris knows surveillance — and he knows what it’s like to be the client. His own experiences hiring investigative services, and his frustration with results that didn’t match the cost, are what led him to pursue licensure as a private investigator and build a firm that treats every case as if it were its own.

Surveillance
Covert or overt observation for legal, corporate, and personal matters. Findings are logged and time- and date-stamped, and strategies can be adjusted as circumstances change. Some situations call for a full private investigator; others simply need a trained professional observer to monitor and document a location or situation. We do both.

Background Investigations
Accurate, discreet, and legally compliant background checks using industry-leading databases and investigative tools. Useful for pre-employment screening, vetting tenants, evaluating personal relationships, and verifying the people you’re about to trust — for businesses, landlords, and individuals alike.

Process Service
Professional service of legal documents, including assignments involving recipients who are difficult to locate.
Do you know who you’re partnering with?
Background investigations can include much more than just a $20 website search.
Those quick reports can miss important records, confuse people with similar names, and leave you with more questions than answers. Qualified Investigations looks deeper—researching court records, business affiliations, professional history, and other relevant sources to help you make informed decisions about the people you hire, trust, or do business with.
Surveillance finds the facts that can’t be found elsewhere
When someone’s actions don’t match their explanations, direct observation can help close the gap. From divorce and child custody concerns to suspected insurance fraud, Qualified Investigations documents activity through detailed reporting, photographs, and video—giving you and your attorney clearer information to evaluate.
