We partner with and loan our sting trailer to local law enforcement in areas that experience high theft rates. SIG recovers millions of dollars in cargo every year. Since 2009, SIG has recovered more than $100 million in stolen goods.

Because our mission is to protect you and your business, we aim to deliver high-quality investigative services. We’ll consult with you on the types of threats that come your way.
