Every engagement at 808 Investigations follows these standards.
Licensing and the law. All work is performed under an active Hawaiʻi private detective license (HI PD 28766-0) and California license (CA PI 29141), within state and federal law. We do not trespass, record conversations without lawful consent, access private accounts, or represent ourselves as law enforcement.
Confidentiality. Client identities, case details, and findings are kept confidential and shared only with the client, their counsel, or as required by law.
Honest reporting. Reports state what the evidence shows, with sources identified. Findings are never shaded to fit a client's preferred outcome, and no result is guaranteed.
Neutrality in workplace investigations. When retained as a neutral investigator, we gather facts from all parties and reach findings based on the evidence, independent of who pays for the work.
Conflicts of interest. We decline any engagement where a personal, financial, or prior professional relationship could affect our judgment, and we disclose potential conflicts before accepting a case.
Respect for every person. Witnesses, subjects, and victims are treated with dignity. Sensitive matters, including those involving children or trauma, are handled with care.
Clear terms. Fees, scope, and expected costs are set out in writing before work begins.
