Gain access confidentially to reliable and truthful information which you can use to determine how best to proceed.

Our mission

The aim of UMBRA Investigations is to collect all information in keeping with the needs of its clients, especially via comprehensive and confidential surveillance operations.

Whether the matter is of a corporate or a private nature, our agency makes its mission to provide each of its clients with a concrete and reliable response, particularly based on relevant images (photos and/or videos) and proven facts. These observations, reproduced in their entirety in a detailed and timestamped investigation report, are passed on to our clients when the investigation ends. It should be noted that these reports are recognised by and are admissible in courts of law.

Shadowing is our speciality

We, as an agency, have chosen to specialise in this single field of activity because our principal aim is to provide our clients with completely reliable and efficient services which combine discretion, confidentiality and professionalism.

Our agency is directed by a qualified investigator who holds a Federal diploma as a criminal investigation detective and who is a former member of a police tailing squad. Our surveillance methods are based on those used in tailing squads. The resources used in each surveillance operation, both from a human and a strategic and technological point of view, enable our agency to provide its clients with a guarantee of an outstanding success/accomplishment rate.

Our investigators

The work methods used by our private detectives in the field are majorly based on team work, recognised know-how and substantial experience. UMBRA Investigations has gathered professional investigators trained by the Geneva police force for some and the French police for others. Their training, as well as their professionalism enables us the possibility to guarantee the execution of each assignment entrusted to us to a perfection and that in full compliance with the law.

As our agents hold the authority-issued permits that they need to carry out their private detective work, they are able to testify as and when necessary in order to defend your interests.
