Useful Information: Your Insight into the World of Private Detectives

At Privatdetektei Ryffel AG, you benefit from over 30 years of experience in investigative services. In this section, we shed light on important questions and offer clarity on various aspects of our work.

Choosing the Right Detective

The guiding principle is “One is none,” emphasizing the importance of avoiding investigations conducted by a sole proprietor or a “one-man- show.” It is equally important to verify the presence of professional office space at a legitimate address, the number of investigations completed over the years, and positive Google reviews. Moreover, the detective must be physically based in Switzerland and well-versed in local laws and conditions.

Legality of Surveillance

Our detective work is based on the principle of legality. All court-admissible evidence we gather is obtained solely through legal means. We possess all the necessary cantonal and national permits required to collect information within Switzerland.

Costs of Investigation

The cost of detective services depends on the specific requirements of the case and the methods chosen. In a non-binding consultation, we clarify your needs and provide you with a cost estimate. On request, we can also provide you with a binding offer.

Observation Schedule

Observations can be organized and carried out flexibly and on short notice. Once the necessary information is in place, a contract is signed, and a deposit is made, we can immediately begin the investigation.

Delivery of Results

You will always receive a detailed, written investigation report, supplemented with photos or videos. The results will be delivered through the channel of your choice.

Training to Become a Detective

Our detectives undergo an in-house training program that equips them with the necessary skills, from technical abilities to legal knowledge. Annual internal training ensures they remain up-to-date and retain any required permits.
