Licensed Drone Video & Photography

At Petit Investigations LLC, we take surveillance and documentation to new heights—literally. Our FAA-licensed drone operators provide high-resolution aerial video and photography tailored to meet the specific needs of private investigations. Whether you're dealing with property disputes, insurance fraud, missing persons, or infidelity cases, drone footage can offer a discreet, comprehensive view that ground surveillance simply can't match.

From rural landscapes to urban rooftops, drone technology allows us to capture evidence with precision, while maintaining a low profile. Our team uses this tool strategically—never as a gimmick, but as a powerful extension of the investigative process.

While Petit Investigations LLC specializes in using drone technology for investigative purposes, our licensed drone services are also available to individuals, businesses, and organizations seeking high-quality aerial imagery for non-investigative needs.

Whether you're a real estate professional looking to showcase a property, a farmer needing crop imagery, or a private client who wants a unique overhead video of a family event or landscape, we offer the same professionalism, equipment, and FAA-certified operation outside the context of investigations.

Common non-investigative drone services include:

• Real estate marketing photos and video walk-throughs
   
• Construction site documentation and progress tracking
   
• Land surveying imagery (non-legal)
   
• Event aerial footage (where permitted)
   
• Scenic photography of homes, cabins, or acreage

All drone operations conducted by Petit Investigations LLC are:

• Fully compliant with FAA Part 107 regulations and licensing

• Fully compliant with 14 CFR Part 48

• Operated by licensed, insured drone pilots
   
• Conducted with strict attention to privacy laws and legal boundaries
   
• Delivered with high-resolution footage and optional editing for presentation
   
• Accompanied by written reports to support evidentiary use in legal or insurance contexts
   

We don’t just fly drones—we integrate them into a broader investigative strategy, ensuring they serve your case goals. Our technology is an extension of our commitment to discretion, thoroughness, and actionable results.

When ground surveillance hits its limits, our drone team is ready to take your investigation to the next level—quietly, professionally, and legally.

In today’s investigative landscape, having a higher vantage point can mean the difference between speculation and solid evidence. Drone footage allows us to discreetly document locations, observe behavior patterns, and capture time-sensitive visuals that might otherwise go unnoticed. This capability is especially critical in cases where traditional ground-based surveillance is limited, obstructed, or too risky.

Our drone video and photography services are ideal for:

• Insurance Fraud Investigations
  Identify staged property damage, false injury claims, or exaggerated losses with aerial overviews of accident sites or alleged damage areas.
   
• Infidelity and Domestic Investigations
  Monitor remote meeting spots, vacation properties, or large estates where traditional surveillance may be difficult to maintain without detection.
   
• Missing Persons & Locating Individuals
  Cover more ground quickly in search efforts, especially in wooded, rural, or sprawling areas where ground searches may be slow or ineffective.
   
• Property & Asset Documentation
  Capture detailed images and video of land, buildings, and other assets—particularly useful in divorce, probate, or business litigation cases.
   
• Trespassing, Vandalism & Property Disputes
  Secure overhead views of boundary lines, habitual trespassing paths, or damage to property, helping build a timeline and pattern of events.

Drone services may not be covered by the Wisconsin State Public Defender (SPD) system. If you are working with or are SPD-appointed counsel, it is your responsibility to confirm with the SPD office whether this service can be approved or reimbursed prior to requesting it.
