Local knowledge
matters.
Murfreesboro is one of the fastest-growing cities in Tennessee, driven by Middle Tennessee State University, a booming healthcare sector, and steady population growth from the greater Nashville area — and that growth brings unique investigative challenges. A rapidly expanding population means more transient relationships, more out-of-town business dealings, more online dating activity, and more people who are difficult to locate using standard databases alone. A local Murfreesboro private investigator understands the geography, the MTSU community, the neighborhoods where surveillance is easy versus difficult, and the local court systems where your case may ultimately be used.
Delator Group investigators are familiar with Rutherford County and the surrounding counties — Williamson, Davidson, Cannon, and Bedford — and conduct surveillance and investigations throughout Murfreesboro's neighborhoods, suburbs, and the broader Middle Tennessee region. Whether your case involves the historic downtown square, the suburbs surrounding MTSU, or rural areas outside the city limits, our investigators know how to operate effectively and discreetly across the entire region.
We also understand Tennessee law — including what evidence is admissible in Tennessee courts, what surveillance methods are legal under Tennessee statute, and how Tennessee family and civil courts evaluate investigative evidence. This matters. An out-of-state agency or a generic national "find a PI" service often doesn't understand these nuances, and evidence gathered improperly can be thrown out — wasting your money and your time.

Fast-growing communities along the I-24 corridor — frequent family law and corporate cases.

How it works.
Confidential Consultation
Every engagement starts with a free, confidential conversation. Call or email us, describe your situation, and we'll tell you honestly whether an investigation is the right next step — and what it would likely involve. We don't pressure anyone into hiring us, and we don't guarantee outcomes we can't control.
Transparent Scope & Pricing
If you decide to move forward, you'll receive a written agreement that clearly outlines the scope of work, hourly rates, and any retainer terms — with no vague "administrative fees" or hidden charges. You'll always know what you're paying for.
Investigation
A licensed Delator investigator — not a subcontractor — conducts the work according to the agreed plan. For surveillance cases, this means full coverage of the hours you're paying for, including evenings and weekends when your case requires it.
Documentation & Reporting
You receive a professional written report with time-stamped evidence, specific observations, and documentation formatted to be usable — whether that's for your own peace of mind, a divorce attorney, or a Tennessee courtroom.
Next Steps
We'll discuss what the findings mean and what your options are. If you need to escalate to legal action, we can work directly with your attorney or refer you to qualified Tennessee family or civil law attorneys in our network.
What sets us
apart.
The private investigation industry in Tennessee has a trust problem. Too many agencies subcontract cases to unlicensed or inexperienced investigators, bill for hours that were never worked, and deliver vague reports that can't actually be used for anything. Delator Group was built specifically to be different.
Licensed Investigators Only
Every case is handled by a Tennessee-licensed investigator — never an unlicensed subcontractor you've never met.
Transparent, Itemized Billing
Every invoice shows exactly what you're paying for — time, activity, and documentation — with no vague add-on fees.
No Retainer Burning
We don't manufacture billable hours to drain your retainer. Every hour is necessary and documented. Unused funds are returned.
Full-Day Coverage
If your case needs evening or overnight surveillance, that's what you get — we don't leave because it's convenient for us.
Court-Ready Reports
Specific, time-stamped, professionally formatted documentation that holds up under legal scrutiny.
Free Confidential Consultations
No pressure, no obligation — just a straight answer about whether an investigation makes sense for your situation.
"From MTSU to the historic downtown square — wherever your case takes us in Rutherford County, we go."

Middle Tennessee.

Common questions.
How much does a private investigator cost in Nashville, TN?
+Private investigator rates in Tennessee typically range based on the type of investigation, the complexity of the case, and the hours required. Rather than quoting a generic number that doesn't apply to your situation, we provide a free consultation where we discuss your specific case and give you a transparent, written estimate before any work begins — with no hidden fees or vague "administrative charges."
Is hiring a private investigator legal in Tennessee?
+Yes. Hiring a licensed private investigator in Tennessee is completely legal, and licensed investigators are regulated by the Tennessee Private Investigation and Polygraph Commission (TIPPC). What matters is that the investigation is conducted lawfully — surveillance in public spaces and places with no reasonable expectation of privacy is generally permissible, while trespassing, illegal wiretapping, or accessing restricted records is not. A licensed Tennessee investigator knows exactly where those lines are.
How long does a typical investigation take?
+It depends entirely on the type of case. A background check might be completed within days. An infidelity surveillance case often requires multiple sessions over one to several weeks to establish a reliable pattern. A missing persons or skip trace case can range from hours to weeks depending on how much information is available to start with. During your consultation, we'll give you a realistic estimate based on your specific situation.
Will my spouse or the person being investigated find out?
+Discretion is fundamental to our work. Our investigators are trained specifically to avoid detection during surveillance — being "burned" by a subject is one of the worst outcomes for an investigation, and our team takes it seriously. That said, no investigator can guarantee with absolute certainty that a subject will never become suspicious for unrelated reasons. What we can guarantee is that our methods are designed to minimize that risk as much as possible.
Can the evidence be used in a Tennessee divorce or custody case?
+Evidence obtained legally — through surveillance in public areas, documented observations, and proper reporting — can generally be used in Tennessee family court proceedings, though it's ultimately up to your attorney and the judge how it's weighted. We format every report to be as useful as possible to attorneys, with specific timestamps, locations, and documented observations rather than vague summaries.
Do you offer payment plans or work with attorneys directly?
+We regularly work directly with Tennessee attorneys on litigation support cases, and billing arrangements can be discussed during your consultation. We're happy to coordinate directly with your legal counsel if you have one, or refer you to a qualified Tennessee attorney if you need one.
What's the difference between Delator Group and other Murfreesboro PI agencies?
+The biggest differences are licensing, transparency, and follow-through. We don't subcontract cases to unlicensed investigators, we don't pad invoices with vague fees, we don't end surveillance early because it's convenient, and we don't write vague reports that can't actually be used. If you've been burned by another agency before, we've likely seen the exact pattern — and we built our business specifically not to operate that way.
How do I get started?
+Call us at (629) 310-8667 or email contact@delatorgroup.com. Your initial consultation is free and completely confidential — there's no pressure and no obligation. We'll listen to your situation and give you an honest assessment of your options.
