Licensed Private
Investigation Services.
Discreet, professional investigation services for legal, corporate, and personal matters across Virginia. Our DCJS-licensed investigators deliver actionable intelligence through surveillance, background research, and evidence gathering.
When You Need Answers
There are situations where the truth matters more than anything else — when legal proceedings depend on verified evidence, when a business deal requires due diligence, or when personal circumstances demand clarity. A licensed private investigator provides the expertise and legal framework to obtain information that stands up in court.
Virginia law requires private investigators to hold a DCJS registration. Operating without proper licensing is a criminal offense. When you hire Charm Security's investigation division, you are working with fully credentialed professionals who understand both the legal boundaries and the investigative techniques necessary to deliver results.
Every investigation begins with a confidential consultation. We assess the scope of the matter, discuss realistic expectations, and provide transparent pricing. Our investigators maintain strict confidentiality protocols and deliver documented findings in formats suitable for legal proceedings, corporate decision-making, or personal records.
