Our trained detectives in Lausanne are at your service for both personal and business-related matters: +41 44 5522 264.
Lausanne is one of Switzerland’s educational centres, with the university forming, together with the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, the largest campus in the country. Accordingly, research is given high priority; for our commercial detective agency in Lausanne, this entails tasks in theft protection (burglary prevention, IT security, eavesdropping countermeasures) and investigation of offences against intellectual property. Globally, however, Lausanne is primarily known as the headquarters of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). In the city of 144,160 inhabitants (2023), 72 per cent of revenue is generated by the cantonal service sector. Nonetheless, for years the unemployment rate has been roughly twice the Swiss average. This may partly explain why Lausanne, together with Geneva, leads the crime statistics regarding theft and burglary (2015).
However, despite common prejudices, it is by no means always the unemployed who are responsible. Professional thieves from Switzerland and abroad, sometimes organised in gangs, exploit the absence of tenants or homeowners for daytime burglaries and can quickly leave the country due to Switzerland’s open borders. Even more frequently, dishonest employees tend to steal from or defraud their own employers, for example through warehouse theft, falsified working-hour records or embezzlement.
Our experienced private detectives in Lausanne are familiar with the tricks of offenders. Whether in the private sector with false statements in maintenance proceedings, concealed cohabitation, adultery or even stalking, we provide discreet investigations.
For companies, our skilled staff in Lausanne handle, in addition to the offences mentioned above, matters such as sick-leave fraud, unauthorised secondary employment, and conducting background checks on potential applicants and business partners.
Furthermore, our social investigators in Lausanne assist authorities in verifying that benefit recipients are lawfully entitled to the claims they register.
After completing our work, we provide our clients with a court-admissible report. Receive non-binding advice on your case: kontakt@kurtz-detektei-schweiz.ch or +41 44 5522 264.
