About Sleuth Forensics Group

One Coordinated Point of Engagement
for Specialized Forensic Needs

Sleuth Forensics Group brings specialized forensic capabilities together under one coordinated engagement structure.

Clients do not need to determine in advance which expert, technology, discipline, or operating company is required. SleuthFG begins by evaluating the need, confirming the appropriate client authority, defining the desired outcome, and identifying the most responsible pathway.

Depending on the engagement, support may be provided through SleuthFIGG, SleuthID, Sleuth Forensic Academy, SleuthFG principals, approved strategic partners, or qualified project-specific experts.

SleuthFG remains responsible for coordinating the engagement, establishing scope and responsibilities, addressing security and quality requirements, and ensuring that authorized work is assigned to appropriate resources.

The subsidiaries deliver specialized capability. SleuthFG connects, scopes, coordinates, and supports the work.

Selective Managed Services

Coordinated Support When the
Engagement Requires More

Some client needs require more than a consultation, technology implementation, training program, or individual expert assignment.

When SleuthFG can responsibly establish and control the scope, expertise, security, quality requirements, project responsibilities, and deliverables, it may accept a selective managed engagement.

A managed engagement may combine resources from more than one SleuthFG practice or professional discipline.

Managed engagements are evaluated individually and are not the default service model.

Discuss a Managed Engagement
Examples may include
  • Multidisciplinary forensic problem assessment
  • Coordinated investigative and analytical support
  • Specialized forensic technology deployment
  • Program development and supervised implementation
  • Independent technical reassessment
  • Secure project collaboration
  • Court-readiness and prosecutorial support
  • Defined project management and quality review

  5. E
    Quality Review, Coordination, and Delivery

Some engagements remain within one specialized practice. Others require coordinated support across forensic disciplines, technology, training, investigation, or expert review.

SleuthFG provides the structure needed to connect those resources without requiring the client to manage multiple unrelated vendors or determine the complete solution before the first consultation.

Specialized Expert Resources

Expertise Activated for the
Authorized Engagement

SleuthFG maintains relationships with experienced professionals across relevant forensic, investigative, scientific, technical, analytical, training, and court-support disciplines.

Resources are identified and engaged according to the requirements of an authorized project. Qualifications, availability, conflicts, security requirements, responsibilities, compensation, and deliverables are addressed for the specific engagement.

The objective is to assemble the appropriate capability for the need — not to assign personnel simply because they are available.

Expert participation is subject to project requirements, qualifications, availability, conflicts review, client authorization, and an approved scope of work.

Examples of Expertise
  • Experienced local and federal investigators
  • Forensic investigative genetic genealogists
  • Latent-print examiners
  • Forensic document and handwriting examiners
  • Forensic scientists
  • Intelligence and analytical professionals
  • OSINT researchers
  • Technology specialists
  • Program-development consultants
  • Trainers and instructional specialists
  • Quality reviewers
  • Prosecutorial and court-support experts

Our Approach

We Work in Support of the Agency —
not in Place of It.

SleuthFG exists to strengthen the work of the investigators, examiners, analysts, prosecutors, laboratories, and agency leaders responsible for the mission.

We provide specialized capability where it is needed, respect established responsibilities and lines of authority, and define our role clearly before substantive work begins.

Our measure of success is useful, responsible, and defensible support — not attention for our company.

The agency retains its mission. SleuthFG provides the specialized support needed to advance it.

Begin With the Need

Every Engagement Starts With a Focused Consultation

Before a subsidiary, technology, expert, or service is selected, SleuthFG first works to understand the problem, the client's authority, the desired outcome, and the operational environment.

The consultation helps determine whether SleuthFG is an appropriate resource, which specialized practice may be involved, whether an assessment should precede substantive work, what expertise or technology may be required, what security and information controls apply, and what scope and deliverables should be proposed.
