Meet Dustin Grate: Private Investigator

Dustin Grate is the owner of Grate Detections, LLC. He is licensed for private investigations, process serving and private patrol, and holds Nevada PILB license 1782, California PI license 188095 and Arizona PI license 1766007.

We also offer mobile drug testing. We come to you and test for pre-hire, post-accident and reasonable-suspicion cases, using urine and hair tests along with 80-hour alcohol testing. Dustin’s training includes criminal justice classes, POST certificates and psychology classes. He has continued his education at the University of Nevada, Reno, Western Nevada College and Truckee Meadows Community College.

Licensed in Nevada (PILB 1782, 1782a, 1782b, 1782c), California (PI 188095) and Arizona (PI 1766007).

Our work includes criminal defense, surveillance, cheating spouse cases, background checks, process serving, drug testing, skip tracing, asset searches and recovery, and more.

Criminal Defense Experts / Mitigation Specialists

The Criminal Defense Team has years of criminal defense experience behind it. Our owner is certified as an expert witness for investigations in several courts, and we provide what defense attorneys look for.

Grate Detections, LLC works on criminal and civil defense cases, either with your attorney or directly with clients. We have worked on multiple death penalty, murder, attempted murder, sexual assault, attempted sexual assault and rape cases, and many other high-profile cases. We also provide mitigation work for sentencing, surveillance, counter surveillance and process serving.

Nationwide Background Checks

Background checks and pre-employment background checks are normally performed by private investigators for the purpose of getting the truth about a subject’s history or background. Private investigators in Reno are skilled in getting the records that are buried in the court system. Many states, and counties such as Washoe County in Nevada, are what is known as “non-reporting.” These states and counties do not report to any online background check or screening database.

Screening companies that sell a quick pre-employment check can mislead you and expose you to liability later. Many provide mass results rather than hand checking all courts and records. Background check costs will vary depending on local or nationwide searches, as there are many variables for a background report or a background investigation.

Wondering where to get a background check in Reno, or how to complete one for a job? Private investigators, sometimes called detectives or private eyes, can provide it. Search the web for private investigators near you, and read the Google reviews before you hire. Grate Detections can also provide a private security contractor.

Private Investigator Reno, Nevada

A private investigator finds facts that free background check sites and screening companies cannot. Our work ranges from criminal investigations to basic personal background checks, and from a local check to a nationwide one. We work to finish each check as quickly as accuracy allows.

In Nevada, the PILB licenses and oversees private investigators. Before you hire an investigator in Reno, compare firms, read their Google reviews and ask what the work will cost. Remember that you often get what you pay for.

Grate Detections states that it is certified with the National Association of Professional Background Screeners (NAPBS) and FCRA certified.

Do not rely on an online database, or on a staffing agency that says it checks your employees. Most staffing agencies are not licensed investigators. They do not check all local or nationwide courts; they run a name through a database and hope for a hit.

Grate Detections hand checks all local courts and the non-reporting courts as well. Nevada is a non-reporting state, which means most Nevada counties, and many counties across the country, do not report to any online database. When the answer matters, do not rely on an instant internet database search.

Employment Screening and Investigations

The Reno private investigators and Grate Detections are FCRA Certified.

We provide our clients with an alternative through both proactive employee screening services and a fast, accurate investigation.

Surveillance

Grate Detections private investigators can help if you have a workers’ comp or other insurance claim and believe fraud is involved. When the fear of infidelity becomes a part of your life and you need answers, let us provide the truth that you are seeking. We document evidence lawfully with video, photography and written logs, and we follow Nevada and federal law on every surveillance. Comprehensive reports are always provided upon request.

Counter Surveillance

Counter-surveillance refers to measures undertaken to prevent surveillance. This may include bug sweeping, which detects electronic surveillance devices such as covert listening and visual devices, and it may include human countermeasures and strategies. No matter what methods are employed or necessary, the goal of counter surveillance is to reduce the risk of surveillance. Our Reno private investigators are experienced in counter surveillance as well.

On-Site Drug Testing

Nevada: Reno, Sparks, Carson City and Las Vegas

Digital Reader for Drug Testing

Keeping employees drug free helps protect your business. Grate Detections sends mobile drug testing personnel to your location for a 5-panel screen, up to a 12-panel lab-based drug test. We provide pre-employment, post-accident, reasonable-suspicion and random testing. Rapid on-site tests give results immediately, and lab-based results are reported within 24 hours of testing. Taking employees to a lab costs you time and money, and sending an employee to a lab after a reasonable-suspicion call creates a risk: if they crash or hurt someone on the way, you told them to go. We also provide court-approved drug testing for family court matters in Nevada.

Drug Panels

Every mobile drug test includes a 5-panel screen at no extra charge, and panels go up to 12. Our tests detect the presence of:

• Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC, found in marijuana)
• Cocaine
• Amphetamines
• Methamphetamines (including Ecstasy)
• Barbiturates
• Benzodiazepines
• Morphine – Opiates
• PCP (Phencyclidine)
• Methadone
• Buprenorphine
• MDMA – Ecstasy
• Oxycodone

The 12-panel test with specimen validity testing (SVT) covers AMP, BAR, BUP, BZO, COC, mAMP, MDMA, MOR, MTD, OXY, PCP and THC, with OX, CR and PH validity checks.

Urine and Hair Testing, Not Only Oral Swabs

Most staffing agencies only run an oral swab, which looks back only hours and is easier to pass. Grate Detections uses urine and hair tests, which look back farther. Ask for a quote and compare.

80-Hour Alcohol Testing Available

An 80-hour alcohol test confirms whether there has been any drinking in the last 80 hours. Before you drop off or pick up your children in a custody matter, we can provide drug and alcohol testing on the spot.
