What to check before hiring private investigation in Silver Spring

40 providers below list private investigation in Silver Spring. Ranking is based on verifiable signals, but the last checks are yours — and they are the ones that decide whether a contract holds up.

• 1Confirm the license covers this service. A license authorizes specific activities. Confirm the provider's covers private investigation specifically — not just "security" in general.
• 2Ask who actually staffs the post. Some firms subcontract or staff through a partner. Ask who employs the officers on your site, and who carries the workers' comp.
• 3Get the certificate of insurance from the carrier. Request it naming you as certificate holder. An uninsured incident on your property becomes your liability.
• 4Pin down coverage and no-show terms. Written post orders, shift times, and what happens when an officer doesn't arrive — including who pays for the gap.
• 5Compare bill rate against the local range. Use the Silver Spring range above. A quote well under market usually signals an underpaid post, which is where turnover and coverage gaps start.
• 6Check the contract's exit terms. Notice period, auto-renewal and any early-termination fee. Long lock-ins with no performance clause favor the provider, not you.
