Private detective agency in Shelby County, Tennessee
Shelby is Tennessee's largest county by population and the hub of the Mid-South. Pinnacle's private eyes cover Memphis and every community in Shelby County with the same lawful methods and court-ready documentation we bring to all 95 Tennessee counties.
A private eye who knows Memphis and the county around it
Shelby County is a different assignment from the rest of Tennessee. Memphis runs on logistics, medicine and a nightlife economy that stretches from Beale Street to the Cordova bars, and its neighborhoods, from Whitehaven and Frayser to Germantown and Collierville, each have their own rhythm. A private eye who does not know that rhythm stands out. Pinnacle's Shelby County work is staffed by people who know which streets a surveillance vehicle can sit on, how traffic moves on Poplar and Sam Cooper at rush hour, and where a subject headed to the Arkansas or Mississippi line is likely to cross.
Our Shelby County casework covers infidelity and custody matters in the suburbs, insurance and workers' comp surveillance across the warehouse and distribution corridors around the airport, corporate and employee theft work for the region's logistics, healthcare and hospitality employers, and defense support for attorneys practicing at 201 Poplar. We hold Tennessee licensure through Delator Group and coordinate with partner agencies when a case crosses into DeSoto County, Mississippi or Crittenden County, Arkansas.
