Intelligence
that stands up
to scrutiny.
Poindexter Global Intelligence is composed of seasoned investigative and intelligence-gathering specialists with extensive international experience in both open and covert operations. All intelligence and countermeasures professionals are rigorously trained and well-equipped for their respective assignments. The firm's principal and operational cadre are former employees of government components of the Intelligence Community, or are currently contracted by such agencies to perform intelligence, counterintelligence, or defense contracting functions.
An intelligence report
is not a data report.
Polished intelligence is the product of careful source identification, disciplined collection, and rigorous analysis. In our terminology, that means information 'vetted and evaluated'.
Defining the requirement
Before any collection activity begins, a clearly defined need must exist. Through a detailed client interview and subsequent risk and vulnerability assessment, we rapidly identify a specific investigative direction that satisfies the stated requirement.
Open and covert collection
With a clear requirement in hand, investigators execute specific information-gathering activities. Operations may be open "OSINT" (public records, databases, on-record interviews) and/or covert (surreptitious audio and video surveillance, undercover activity, informant development).
Rigorous analysis
As information arrives during the collection phase, it is organized and rigorously analyzed. A well-constructed preliminary report reveals gaps, lack of clarity in specific areas, and new investigative leads worth pursuing. Effective analysis may recommend additional, more targeted collection.
Report and controlled dissemination
When the defined requirement has been satisfied (or further collection would be futile), collection ceases and a final report is prepared. Dissemination to appropriate parties is a critical follow-up. Undisciplined dissemination can compromise investigators, witnesses, informants, and other confidential sources — which is why controlled dissemination is a vital part of the process.
Comprehensive
operational services.
Five disciplines covering everything from physical surveillance and electronic countermeasures to international service of judicial process. Every service line is executed under the same evidentiary standards.
Civil investigation
Field work carried out by operatives with a broad foundation of investigative experience. The final product reflects knowledge of legal boundaries, obsessive attention to observational detail, strict professionalism, and superior intelligence tradecraft.

Background inquiries
Criminal and civil background searches for clients in all fifty U.S. states and more than 90 sovereign nations combined with address reporting, property ownership/leasing and passport activity, produces a complete profile of a subject's pattern of life, criminal activity, lawsuits and more.

Electronic countermeasures
A legitimate countermeasures operation is a highly technical investigation that requires a level of skill and experience few possess. It always begins with a complete risk assessment and a discreet, covert reconnaissance of the site to be swept.

Service of
Legal Process.
Official Translation

We serve domestic and international law firms, insurers, corporate legal departments, financial institutions, and any entity requiring document service under Dominican law.
Service of judicial process is subject to strict constitutional and procedural rules. Failure to translate into Spanish, incorrect formats, or intervention by unauthorized personnel can result in nullity of the act, procedural delays, or judicial challenges. To avoid those risks, we integrate mandatory professional Spanish translation into the service and local counsel review is included in the price.

Dominican regulatory
framework for service.
Spanish is the official language of the Dominican Republic and the only language recognized for judicial and administrative proceedings. Any legal document drafted in English or another foreign language must be translated into Spanish before service, or the courts will declare the service of process void.

Code of Civil Procedure
Require that summonses, subpoenas, notifications, and other judicial acts performed in Dominican territory be drafted in Spanish to have full legal validity.
