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.
Polished intelligence is the product of careful source identification, disciplined collection, and rigorous analysis. In our terminology, that means information 'vetted and evaluated'.
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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
