Skip Tracing Services

The most critical aspect of any recovery effort is being able to locate and identify the defendant. When attempting to recover hard assets such as vehicles, or monetary compensation in order to satisfy a judgment, knowing where your defendant is will drastically increase the odds of satisfying your claim. 

G.I.S. has an innovative system which has revolutionized the skip tracing industry. Our professional skip tracers locate the hard to find missing persons, fugitives and delinquent debtors. G.I.S. uses the most comprehensive sources and innovative technologies to locate even the most elusive skips. We have access to virtually every means possible to locate anybody, anywhere in the United States as well as internationally.  Simply put, it is not possible to find more current, more complete, or more accurate intelligence.

With the evolution of the internet, we have seen a dramatic increase in the number of web sites that claim to have the ability to locate people anywhere. Professional skip tracers know these as "Detective" sites. They are simply using public records that are available to everyone for free. Accurate to an extent; however, most of the information provided is at least 6 months old. These companies offer no verification or guarantees. Knowing where your subject has been is very different than knowing where your subject is.

Our professional skip tracers do not quit at simply finding information on your subject, our investigative team verifies the information as current. G.I.S. has access to information that is not available on the internet: Driving records, Marriage and Divorce Records, Child Support Information, or Current Employment records. Surveillance and Interviews of family members, friends and roommates provide insight into your subject that internet records and data base searches cannot provide.

Our founder

Bob Arthur's law-enforcement background includes investigative and management assignments involving violent crime, undercover operations, organized crime, drug enforcement, hostage negotiation, and family crisis intervention.

As a Detective Lieutenant, Bob commanded a Special Enforcement Unit. He also served as an Assistant District Commander and managed a civilian crisis-intervention unit. He later became Chief of Police in Pinetop-Lakeside, where he organized and developed the department. As a private consultant, he was retained to reorganize another police department.

His education and training include a degree in criminal justice, hostage-negotiation training through Northwestern University, FBI management training, U.S. Secret Service dignitary-protection training, and DEA advanced training. He was also a founding board member of the White Mountain Safe House Project.
