The veteran-owned business designation has become common enough that it can start to feel like a marketing label. At Birds Eye Investigations, we want to be specific about what our military background actually brings to the work — because it's not just a credential, it's a methodology.
Military intelligence training and private investigation
The founder of Birds Eye Investigations comes from a military intelligence background. That background is directly applicable to investigative work in ways that general law enforcement experience or civilian training programs are not. Military intelligence work requires the ability to develop and execute surveillance plans in dynamic, unpredictable environments. It requires the ability to gather, analyze, and synthesize information from multiple sources simultaneously. It requires discipline, patience, and the ability to maintain operational focus over extended periods. And it requires producing reports that are accurate, clear, and useful to decision-makers — because in a military intelligence context, a bad report has consequences.
How this translates to client outcomes
Our surveillance plans are built on operational frameworks, not improvisation. Our reports are structured to be clear and directly useful — for attorneys preparing for court, for clients trying to make decisions about their lives, and for any proceeding where our documentation might be examined. Our investigators are trained to observe and document rather than interpret and editorialize.
Technology as a force multiplier
Military intelligence work also instills an appreciation for technology as a tool rather than a novelty. We deploy drone surveillance, OSINT platforms, and modern investigative technology not because they're impressive but because they produce better evidence more efficiently. For attorneys and clients who need results, efficiency matters.
The veteran commitment
We are proud to be veteran-owned. We offer a discount to active military, veterans, and first responders as a direct expression of that pride. But beyond the label, what we offer is the discipline and methodology that military service instilled — applied to every case we take.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does a veteran-owned PI agency have any special legal authority?
No. Military service does not give a PI agency extra legal powers. Birds Eye holds the same Tennessee license as any other agency and follows the same limits: no arrests, no trespassing, no impersonating police and no hacking. What veteran ownership brings is a way of working, including careful planning, disciplined documentation and respect for rules, not additional authority.
Can Birds Eye help service members, veterans and military families?
Yes. Military families face the same legal problems as anyone else, often complicated by deployments, relocations and long distances. Birds Eye can help locate a party for service, document facts for a custody matter, or check out a person before a major decision. Scope, timeline and cost are put in writing before work begins, as with every client.
Why does report writing matter so much in a PI engagement?
The report is what your attorney, a judge or you will actually rely on. A strong report separates what was observed from what was assumed, lists times and locations, and ties each photo or video to a log entry. Birds Eye writes reports in that disciplined style so findings are easy to follow and harder for the other side to attack.
Does veteran ownership change what an investigation costs?
Cost is set by the work itself: hours, travel, records research and deadlines. Veteran ownership does not add a premium. Birds Eye explains the options, then puts the scope, timeline and cost in writing before work begins. Service members and veterans can ask about any current military discount when they reach out.
