Private Investigation Services in Dickson, TN

What We Take On

Nine core investigative services across Middle Tennessee, handled directly and documented without wasted motion.

Tidwell Investigations is a d/b/a and direct branch of Delator Group, a Tennessee-licensed private investigation and process serving company. Dickson County cases are handled by Tennessee-licensed private investigators who operate under Delator Group.

No padded hours, no dramatized reports. Below is the full range of investigative work we take on, and what's actually involved in each.

Surveillance

Observation, logged and documented.

Surveillance means watching a person, property, or pattern closely enough to capture what matters, without wasting time on what doesn't. We plan around minimizing detection while staying entirely within legal bounds.

Every relevant observation is logged with time and location and backed by photo or video evidence — organized, not dumped.

Infidelity / Cheating

A direct answer, no runaround.

We start with what you've actually noticed — a schedule that stopped adding up, an inconsistency, a feeling — and build a surveillance plan around it. No drama, no assumptions ahead of the evidence.

Every finding is documented as it happens, so you get a straight answer instead of a secondhand story.

Skip Tracing

Finding people, lawfully and directly.

We locate individuals using verified records and field research — for legal, family, or personal reasons. No shortcuts, no illegal database access, just methodical work.

Every case gets handled with a level head, whatever the circumstances behind the search.

Corporate Investigations

Internal problems, handled quietly.

Internal theft, vendor fraud, workplace misconduct — we work alongside leadership or counsel to investigate without tipping anyone off before evidence is locked down.

Reports are structured to withstand review by HR, insurers, or legal counsel.

Background Checks

The full picture, not a guess.

We verify identity, history, and public records to give you an accurate picture before you make a decision — hiring, renting, or otherwise.

No filler. The report contains what's relevant and nothing else.

Criminal Defense Investigations

Independent work, coordinated with counsel.

When someone's facing charges, independent fieldwork — coordinated with defense counsel — can surface facts the prosecution's case missed. We locate witnesses, verify timelines, and review evidence directly.

All of it happens alongside your attorney, documented to hold up under cross-examination.

Child Custody Investigations

Facts only, with the child's wellbeing first.

Custody cases get a different approach. We document a home environment, routines, and relevant interactions — factually, without editorializing — because the goal is an accurate picture, not building a case.

Reports stay objective, understanding they may be reviewed directly by a judge or guardian ad litem.

Fraud Investigations

Tracing the discrepancy, directly.

Financial, insurance, and identity fraud investigations start with a specific concern and get resolved with lawfully accessible records, documentation review, and surveillance where it applies.

We don't recover money — that's a legal or law enforcement process — but we build the evidence trail that supports it.

General Investigations

Doesn't fit a category? Ask anyway.

Not every situation fits neatly into one of the above. If you're not sure what you need, say so — we'll walk through it and tell you plainly whether we can help.

Same standards, same documentation, no matter what the case turns out to be.

Not sure which service fits?

Tell us what's going on. We'll tell you plainly whether — and how — we can help.
