Full-time

Digistream Investigations

DigiStream Investigations, a fast-growing, national private investigation firm, seeks a talented addition to our investigation team in the the Kansas City region.

This isn’t your average desk job - being a Private Investigator means you’ll have a career with excitement, travel, autonomy, and purpose. This role is meant for an individual with an adventurous and curious spirit, and the drive to provide our clients with the evidence they need to defend their cases for potentially fraudulent Worker's Compensation claims.

Work Schedule : Full-time, 50-55 hours per week average, 10-11 hours per day average, depending on travel distance to the case and back to your home (commute time in the company vehicle is "on the clock")

  • Professional, hands-on training program developed over the course of 25 years

  • FBI / Law Enforcement
  • ATF / US Border Patrol / State Crime Lab
  • Law / Paralegal / Legal Assistant
  • Security / Corporate Investigations
  • Investigative Journalism

What a day in the life of an investigator looks like:

  • Monitoring, following, and videotaping subjects as they conduct their day-to-day activities
  • Vehicle and foot pursuit of subjects while maintaining cover
  • Activity varies from filming someone at a grocery store to filming them at a sports game
  • Crafting pre-surveillance strategies based on the setup location and case details
  • Detailed report writing on the activities observed/captured and submission of video evidence
  • Regular communication with team leader on setup positions, activity and tactics

What you’ll need to apply:

  • High school diploma or GED

  • Ability to pass DMV check & background check
  • Confident driving skills

Compensation/benefits:

  • All full-time staff are currently earning: $40,000-$45,000+ range due to paid commute time
  • Employee Benefits: Health, dental, vision, life insurance, and 401(k) with up to 4% company match
  • Late model Company-provided surveillance vehicle (Toyota Highlander, Honda Odyssey)
  • Equipment provided including video camera, laptop, tripod, fuel & maintenance card
