I contacted this company to conduct some surveillance regarding possible infidelity. Randy responded quickly, explained everything very clearly as this was my first time using a PI. He and his investigator acted quickly. He relayed information to me via text and included photos and videos. I could not have asked for a better experience.
Southern Shield Global Security Group's reply
Thank you for this great review, Kristina! It was a pleasure to work with you during your case. While we cannot promise an outcome, our mission is to deliver an experience that clearly demonstrates care and concern for our client's investigative needs. All of our investigators go above and beyond, and I credit the investigator working your case with reacting quickly and effectively. All the best to you, and don't hesitate to reach out again in the future if you need further assistance with your case.

I can't say enough good things about Mr. Randy. He took the time to talk to me even though he was on a case. They took my information and immediately started working on my case. He is very compassionate and professional. He explained each step and answered all of my questions. This is definitely the company you would want to use!!
Southern Shield Global Security Group's reply
Thank you for the kind words, Robin. It means a lot that you feel like you are important to us because you are. Please know that our services don't end after we provided your attorney the report. We are always here to help if you ever need our services again. Thank you again, Randy.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
All of our services are billed at an hourly rate and other expenses may apply. A five or eight-hour minimum per day applies, depending on the type and location of the case. You can expect to be billed the full rate for each hour we are performing the services you retained us for, plus 50 percent of the full rate for travel time, and $.67 per mile for mileage reimbursement to our investigators, protection agents, and security consultants. We require a retainer and establish a general services agreement to open each case. We also proudly offer a discount to active-duty military, veterans, first responders, and educators.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We provide FREE and CONFIDENTIAL initial consultations. During the initial consultation, one of our case managers will learn about the circumstances of the case from the customer and determine if our agency can help. We then describe what the case might look like and determine an initial estimate for the retainer.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
All of our investigators and protection agents are licensed and insured in the state they operate. Our security consultants are not required to hold a license but are equally insured. Our team is comprised of former or retired law enforcement, government agents, and US military. At a minimum, our agents have at least 12 years of experience, with most having 20+ years of experience.
