Prairie / Shell Creek sits along the Peace River, with scattered homes, ranch land, and long stretches of undeveloped property. That open layout changes how surveillance works. There's less traffic to blend into and fewer places to park a vehicle without drawing notice. We use unmarked sedans for our work. We plan routes around the few main roads. These roads connect this area to the rest of Charlotte County. Cases here often involve rural insurance claims. Some involve absentee landowners. Others involve subjects who use the river and wooded land to stay hidden. We work closely with Charlotte County Fire/EMS Station 16. We use it as a landmark when we coordinate meetings. It helps us direct clients to a safe, visible spot to talk.

Get DirectionsJim who owns the company was great to work with. He was very prompt with his findings of what I needed. This company is totally legit and professional and I would recommend them to anyone else who needs a private investigator.
Professional and very thorough- they helped me find exactly what I was looking for.
The investigator that helped my family was not only professional and helpful but also kind under stressful circumstances. Our long distance from the location we hoped to find our loved one made it important to have is trustworthy commitment and stellar support. I highly recommend this agency for its competence and empathy in crisis.
I had the absolute best experience at Sarasota Investigations. I employed Jim to find out facts about an associate and he did a truly amazing job. He kept me informed at every step of the investigation and found out things that I could never have received on my own. I can recommend him highly to anyone seeking the truth about an associate or an experience. It was truly wonderful!!
10/10 would recommend, very helpful and was able to do a deep dive and get me the information i needed, all in a very timely manner. Overall it was money well spent!
Great experience! He was able to find out exactly what i wanted to know, did a very thorough investigation and was able to get the answers i needed. Would recommend to anyone!
Sarasota Private Investigations is by far one in a million. The professionalism, punctuality, pricing and communication are top notch. Our investigator went above and beyond to provide what we were looking for. Whether it was in the middle of the night, the day or evening hours - he did not disappoint and did the job well superseding our expectations.
With his thorough report and date and time stamped picture evidence, my son won his case as the opposing party knew they could not refute the evidence he provided for us. The opposing party was willing to make a deal which was in my son's favor.
Hands down 100% recommend.
The amount of detail and dedication put into finding someone I am attempting to serve, amazes me at every turn. I knew this was the right place to go to when I saw the investigator image. This establishment has real people, who want to help you as much as you need the help. This is my first time trying to serve someone, but after all the hoops and hurdles I have had to jump through, this place has helped me in more ways than one.
The investigator did a fantastic job, kept me in the loop and provided updates. Will definitely be using his services if needed in the future.
