Global TSCM Profile — Technical Surveillance Authority

When the world's top companies, celebrities, and the global 1% need to ensure their homes and businesses are secure from prying eyes and ears, Empire Investigation LLC has been at the top of a very short list for over 30 years. Specializing in Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM) and Counter-Espionage tactics, Empire provides high-level clientele with the confidential, highly sensitive proof and peace of mind they need.

Founded in 1982 and headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Empire Investigation LLC was built by CEO Robert Kresson — a Pittsburgh native who has trained alongside some of the most prominent figures in the art of espionage and counter-espionage, including the likes of G. Gordon Liddy. Kresson has prided his agency on maintaining the most advanced and up-to-date equipment available, bringing what clients see in James Bond films to real-world reality.

Empire Investigation LLC is a member of the World Association of Detectives and the Council of International Investigators — brainstorming and collaborating globally with some of the industry's finest minds on emerging threats and new investigative strategies. Their work has been recognized in international publications including USA Today, the Saudi Gazette, and the Ritz Carlton. Empire is the go-to source for local media on new and ongoing technological threats, undercover operations, and confidential intelligence.

Empire Investigation LLC team members have been key contributors to high-profile investigations including the Jerry Sandusky child predator case, an LA Fitness shooting investigation, and countless cases of domestic infidelity and corporate theft across the country.

"Corporate espionage is very real in competitive economies across the globe. With ever-enhancing technologies, there has never been a time of greater threat for bug placement in and out of the workplace. Kresson is a man who thrives on taking strong, immediate response — instead of waiting and living in fear of losing out on information."

Their true expertise lies in the ability to advise, detect, and eliminate hidden threats to a company's trade secrets and personal information before the competition can exploit them.
