Brooklyn Private Investigator

The State of New York has nearly 20 million residents, but crime rates are low compared to the national averages, despite the reputation of New York City.  The rate for violent crimes is 3.98 per 1,000 residents, compared to 3.9 nationally.  Property crimes, however, are a mere 19.12 offenses per 1,000 residents, compared to 29.1 nationally.  However, the city of Albany has a notably high rate of both violent and property crimes, averaging 9.64 and 47.78 annually per 1,000 residents, respectively.  Despite its reputation, Brooklyn is actually rated safer than 40% of United States cities with its population of over 2.5 million residents.  Although only 22.69 index crimes were reported per 1,000 residents, 6.28 of them were violent, and only 16.42 were property-related.  With such a densely populated area, law enforcement has an even more difficult job trying to track down leads and investigate cases.  As a result, there is an even greater need for private investigators to supplement their efforts.  At ICS, we guarantee that a highly trained, highly experienced professional will be dedicated time and resources around the clock to solving your case.
