Message from the Founder

"Experience Matters. Every case, every time."

For over 35 years, James Glanville has dedicated himself to one thing — finding the information that brings resolution to people's lives. Before founding Discreet Investigations, James worked as a professional bodyguard, surveillance expert, and undercover operator, protecting world leaders, Fortune 500 executives, and Hollywood talent.

Today, he takes a close interest in every case the agency takes on. The team he has built comes from Ontario police services and military backgrounds, with the networks, instincts, and discipline to get the hard evidence our clients need.

Our reputation is built on absolute discretion, trust, and integrity. Every matter is kept 100% confidential and handled with care.

What Defines Us

Four Principles. Every File.

  • 01

    Discretion First

    Every file, every conversation, every photograph is handled with complete confidentiality. Your case is protected from the first call.

  • 02

    Court-Admissible

    Evidence we gather is documented, chain-of-custody logged, and built to hold up in civil, family, and criminal proceedings.

  • 03

    Experience Matters

    Our investigators come from Ontario police services and the Canadian Forces — not a call centre. Decades in the field, not on a screen.
