Private Investigation Services
Better Information. Stronger Workplaces. Defensible Decisions.
Waypoint Advisers Group, LLC provides professional investigative services focused on talent acquisition, workplace integrity, and organizational trust.
We serve public agencies, law enforcement and fire service organizations, private businesses, and nonprofit organizations. Every investigation is approached with objectivity, discretion, and careful attention to detail.
Comprehensive Pre-Employment Background Investigations
The quality of an organization begins with the people it hires. Our comprehensive background investigations help employers look beyond an application and make informed decisions about candidates being considered for positions of trust.
Depending on the position and scope of the investigation, our services may include:
- Employment and professional history verification
- Reference and professional-associate interviews
- Review of legally permissible public records
- Identification of inconsistencies or omitted information
- Assessment of relevant conduct, judgment, and integrity
- Clear, organized investigative reports
Our goal is to provide decision-makers with accurate, relevant information while treating every candidate fairly and professionally.
Public-Safety Background Investigations
Hiring decisions within law enforcement, fire services, emergency services, and other public-trust professions require a particularly thorough investigative process.
Waypoint conducts comprehensive background investigations designed to evaluate a candidate’s experience, integrity, judgment, reliability, and suitability for positions carrying significant public responsibility. Findings are documented clearly so agency leaders can make informed and defensible hiring decisions.
Workplace Complaint Investigations
Workplace complaints require a timely, impartial, and well-documented response. Waypoint provides independent investigations into allegations such as:
- Harassment or discrimination
- Retaliation
- Hostile or inappropriate workplace conduct
- Bullying or intimidation
- Conflicts of interest
- Abuse of authority
- Ethical concerns
- Violations of organizational policy
- Other employee complaints or reported misconduct
We gather and evaluate relevant records, conduct professional interviews, assess available evidence, and provide a clear account of the facts.
Employee Misconduct Investigations
Unresolved allegations of misconduct can damage employee trust, organizational culture, and public confidence. Waypoint investigates concerns involving employee behavior with fairness, discretion, and respect for everyone involved.
These investigations may address:
- Dishonesty or falsification of information
- Insubordination
- Misuse of organizational property or resources
- Breaches of confidentiality
- Unprofessional or threatening conduct
- Attendance, timekeeping, or leave-related concerns
- Violations of ethical or professional standards
- Failure to follow established policies or procedures
Each investigation is carefully scoped around the specific allegations and the decisions the organization needs to make.
Workplace Fraud Investigations
Suspected fraud requires more than assumptions. It requires disciplined fact-finding and careful documentation.
Waypoint investigates allegations involving:
- Theft or misappropriation of assets
- Expense reimbursement fraud
- Payroll or timekeeping fraud
- Falsified records or reports
- Procurement or vendor irregularities
- Misuse of organizational funds, equipment, or information
- Undisclosed conflicts of interest
- Other suspected financial or workplace deception
We help organizations identify what occurred, who was involved, and what evidence supports the findings.
Administrative and Internal Investigations
Waypoint provides independent administrative investigations for government agencies, public-safety organizations, businesses, and nonprofits.
Using an outside investigator can help organizations address sensitive allegations objectively, reduce internal conflicts of interest, and demonstrate a commitment to a fair process. Our investigative reports are organized, fact-based, and designed to support leadership, human resources, legal counsel, or governing bodies as they determine the appropriate response.
Investigative Consulting and Case Review
Not every concern requires a full investigation. Waypoint can help leaders evaluate an allegation, identify the relevant questions, define an appropriate investigative scope, and determine the best path forward.
Consulting services may include:
- Initial complaint assessment
- Investigation planning and scoping
- Review of existing investigative files
- Identification of evidentiary gaps
- Interview strategy
- Investigative process recommendations
- Independent case consultation
Our Investigative Approach
Every engagement begins with a confidential consultation to understand the concern, define the scope, and identify the questions that must be answered.
Our process is grounded in three commitments:
Objective. We follow the facts without assumptions or predetermined conclusions.
Thorough. We carefully examine the available evidence, conduct meaningful interviews, and document our work.
Trusted. We handle sensitive information with professionalism, discretion, and integrity.
