Technical Surveillance Counter Measures (TSCM), or bug sweeps are services that are offered by trained and specially qualified private investigators. Bug sweeps are used to locate any illegal surveillance devices, any unknown technical surveillance devices, and any technical security weaknesses. Bug sweeps and counter surveillance measures can include uncovering wiretapping, hidden cameras, tracking devices, and spyware and more.

If any of the following warning signs apply and you are concerned about covert eavesdropping or wiretapping then it would be wise to contact Papago Investigations and schedule a "Bug Sweep" or TSCM Inspection. If you suspect you are being bugged please DO NOT CALL from a suspected telephone, cell telephone, or cordless phone at that location and realize that it is time critical that you get someone out to your location confidentially and as fast as possible.

Do you think you may be a potential target for bugging? If eavesdropping on anything you say, write, or do could increase someone else's wealth or influence, then the answer must be yes, you are a potential target. Here are some of the most significant signs to look for:
