Fidelity Investigation When in doubt, hiring a licensed professional to ascertain the level of fidelity of your loved one can buy you peace of mind. The results may cause you to go on an emotional rollercoaster ride. Sometimes not knowing the truth or looking the other way can maintain the status quo. However, knowing the truth can set you free. JP Merlano has been conducting marital investigations for many years. Prior to retaining our services, there are questions that will need your input. This line of questioning can include personal questions that relate to your loved one and the type of relationship you are presently experiencing and indicators that lead you to suspect your loved one is being unfaithful. The line of questioning helps us determine the best plan of action to effectively execute our field investigation and provide you with irrefutable video documentation necessary for you to confront your loved one, if desired. All matters are kept strictly confidential pursuant to F.S. Chapter 493.

“Surgical Surveillance” The Art of Extracting the Target from a Distance JP Merlano is the leading authority for numerous surveillance models and unconventional investigative techniques. JP has devised different modes of operation and created a science from surveillance and investigative techniques. JP is the creator of “Surgical Surveillance” wherefrom he can evidence the subject activities from distances as far as ¼ with the proper digital equipment and surgically extract the subject from hundreds of people surrounding the intended target without entering the premises and ultimately preserving the integrity of the case. This technique is possible with open roof applications. JP Merlano has been a guest speaker for FALI (Florida Association of Licensed Investigators) and has spoken about this type of surveillance model.

“Shadowing” The Art of Long Term Surveillance JP Merlano created the term “Shadowing.” JP was able to conduct 30 consecutive days of surveillance for the Office of Inspector General in Washington D.C. JP also conducted 1 ½ years of surveillance on numerous investigative files for the U.S. Federal Government (long term surveillance) without ever compromising the integrity of the each case. JP Merlano has been a guest speaker for FALI (Florida Association of Licensed Investigators) and has spoken about this mode of surveillance technique.

“Gradual Surveillance” The Art of Uncovering your Subject Final Destination JP Merlano created a surveillance technique called “Gradual Surveillance.” The main objective in “Gradual Surveillance” is to uncover your subject final destination without compromising the integrity of the case. “Gradual surveillance” is recommended for those subjects that are surveillance conscious and savvy in the art of counter surveillance. In “Gradual Surveillance” the investigator initiates surveillance when your subject becomes active and discontinues surveillance when the investigator “gut intuition” dictates surveillance should be discontinued to preserve the integrity of the case. The investigator then logs in the time, date and location when mobile surveillance for instance was terminated and resumes surveillance the same time, day and location where the subject was last observe. Humans are creatures of habit. Probabilities indicate the subject will most likely be traveling on the same road, day and time the week that follows; pattern recognition. Specially if mobile surveillance was terminated at an hour where the subject was most probably going to work or coming back from work. The investigator must repeat the cycle until the final destination of the subject is uncovered through pattern recognition and a process of elimination.

“To date, there’s been no subject I haven’t been able to track regardless if the subject is surveillance conscious, my experience as a professional supersedes that of theirs.” JP Merlano.

“Shock Surveillance” The Element of Surprise JP Merlano created a surveillance technique called “Shock Surveillance” the Element of Surprise whereby the intended target has no clue that they are under surveillance for prolong duration of time. “Shock Surveillance” is recommended for those subjects who are all an integral part of “Shock Surveillance.”

“Fusion Surveillance” JP Merlano created a surveillance technique called “Fusion Surveillance.” In “Fusion Surveillance” the investigator is a master in all surveillance techniques created by JP Merlano and fuses them together to be a master is the art of different tiers of operational surveillance modes. To date, the only person who is a master of “Fusion Surveillance” is JP Merlano.

Rooftop Surveillance JP Merlano has conducted numerous investigations from commercial, public and residential rooftops. “Rooftop surveillance” is an effective mode of operation to preserve the integrity of the case for those subjects that are constantly mobile and confined within a ¼ mile radius.

Team Surveillance Multiply vehicles for ground support while on mobile surveillance is recommended for those cases where we can’t afford to lose the target due to traffic conditions, weather unpredictability, traffic control devises or human error. Case in point, having multiple investigators following the target increases the probabilities of not losing your subject in traffic.

Water Vessel Surveillance JP Merlano has access to water vessels to conduct surveillance while floating on the ocean, canal, lake and any body of water. This service is recommended for those homes that overlook a body of water and are not suitable for surveillance without compromising the integrity of the case. The service is also recommended for those of you who need video documentation of someone that is traveling on a water vessel to an unknown location and the final destination is unknown.

Static Surveillance Recommended for high profile cases where preserving the integrity of the case is of the most importance to develop new leads and to piece together the investigation. In static surveillance JP Merlano will devise an operation plan whereby investigators will remain on site at different locations without following the subject; static surveillance, eyes. In static surveillance the investigator stays on site throughout the transition of the day and records all observed findings; license plates numbers, vehicles frequenting the target, visitors, types of deliveries and neighborhood patterns. Investigators must be rotated at the expiration of a 12 hour shift if 24 monitoring is warranted.
