Reliable Investigators

I found Laura to be extremely professional, courteous, and caring in all our communications. Despite my being so far away in America, Laura made the process very smooth. I am so glad I found Are They Safe. I will not hesitate to recommend this company and Laura to others who may need their services.

I cannot thank Laura enough for the support, professionalism, and courage she showed during one of the most difficult moments of my life. After my home was broken into, Laura stepped in immediately and helped me take the right steps to protect my home and restore a sense of safety. Her guidance was clear, practical, and reassuring at a time when I truly needed it.
What sets Laura apart even more is her unwavering support when I was facing hostility and racism within my community. She stood by me, helped me defend myself, and made sure my voice was heard. Her actions showed not only expertise, but also integrity, empathy, and genuine care for people.
Laura is someone who goes above and beyond her role. She is strong, dependable, and deeply committed to protecting others. I am incredibly grateful for everything she did for me, and I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone who needs support, protection, or advocacy.

Laura is exceptional

Laura is exceptional; she provides practical help and personal, friendly, non judgmental reassurance in a timely and professional manner. The team she has built have a knowledgeable specialised skill set that are able to address complex and sensitive issues. They provide appropriate strategic responses to bring clarity and resolution to problems. Her advice and insight is invaluable, and I feel both safer, more confident and secure going forward as a result of her involvement. Highly recommended.

Are They Safe exceeded all my expectations

Laura was a very reassuring person to speak to at a time when things can be quite traumatic! She was the perfect professional, explaining what could be done. What impressed me most that the results were available when she said they'd be. No over promising and under delivering - quite the opposite! I would have no hesitation whatsoever either using Are They Safe again or recommending them to anyone else in need. A service that can't be faulted.

From a Distance!

I live in Zimbabwe. I have no knowledge of businesses or ethics in other parts of the world. Picking out a company with which to deal from 10000 km away is a scary task. Once, however, I made contact with Laura at 'Are They Safe,' I received nothing but courteous, helpful and most beneficial service. Thank you, Laura and your team for your kindness, professionalism and expertise. Above all, thank you for your personal interest and direct and friendly communications. I would have not a moments hesitation in recommending you to anyone in need of the services you offer.

Thank you

Thank you, Laura, for all your help, and especially your invaluable advice to hold my fire until there was visible proof. The result is finite and a basis to move forward and heal the situation. Your operatives clearly did a thorough job, were very patient and extremely capable. Your personal support, throughout my ordeal was more than kind, on a human level, and I will always consider this operation as a success. Hopefully the way things turned out, together with your excellent advice, this will help others who are having a similar experience. Thank you, again.

Simply Amazing!

Laura and her team are simply amazing! The skill and professionalism that they provide combined with compassion and understanding during difficult circumstances make Are they safe impossible to beat.
From the moment that I first contacted Laura, regarding undertaking a surveillance operation for a relationship issue, she has been so helpful and has gone over and above what I ever expected. The regular updates of photos and videos that I received during the surveillance were incredible and definitely got me the results that I was looking for. I wouldn’t hesitate to contact Laura in the future if I required these services again and I would definitely recommend Are they safe.

Great surveillance service

I really appreciate Laura's help and support for providing surveillance at our property which got a break-in. She also provided great advices for precautions to mitigate risks in the future. She noticed potential risks that weren't addressed by the police. Highly recommend her service to put mind at ease!

Discreet, professional and easy to deal with

I went to Laura asking for help with a family issue that I was looking to try and get clarity on after a gap of a number of years. I've never used a PI before but she is an empathetic listener who immediately put me at ease. The job involved surveillance and discreet enquiries - Laura was able to get things in place at short notice and the visual and verbal communication via her from the operative on the ground was first class. For one of the photos I received, I couldn't believe how the operative took it without the subject noticing but it spoke volumes about their skill. It's a slightly strange experience when you never actually meet or speak directly with the person in the field but everything about the process was highly professional. I hope this is the only time in my life I ever need to use a PI but if there happens to be another, then I will definitely use Laura's services again.

Amazing and professional service

Reached out to Laura for advice, having never used a service like this before, and was absolutely overwhelmed by the support, compassion, kindness, professionalism and sensitivity that she showed to my enquiry. Answering all my questions so quickly and making this very difficult process as easy as possible for me. Laura your support has changed lives and thank you is not enough to express this gratitude.

Great attention to detail and very discreet.

I was initially reluctant to employ such a
service but I needed to understand a certain
situation. I found Laura to be very
reassuring, friendly and helpful - she
immediately put my mind at ease.

The company approach is consistent, reliable and very discreet - with Laura keeping in close communication along the way.

They use professionals (ex police etc) and they absolutely, definitely pay great attention to detail - which is exactly what you need.

They are also very flexible and will often engage at short notice.

I would definitely use this company again.

Any hesitation that I had soon faded after my first phonecall with laura. 

Laura takes time to listen, makes you feel at ease. No pressure, just constructive advice and ideas on how to best move forward based on her years of experience.

I would not hesitate to recommend service or use again. Thank you
