Louisiana Private Investigations & Intelligence Agency

What Louisiana Private Investigations & Intelligence Agency does

Louisiana Private Investigations & Intelligence Agency (LPIIA) is a Louisiana-licensed private investigation firm headquartered in Elton, Louisiana, founded in 2023 by Brandon LaVan, a former law enforcement officer with nine years of experience in Jefferson Davis Parish and Calcasieu Parish. The firm delivers investigative services to individuals, attorneys, corporations, and governmental entities, with a primary segment focus on individuals seeking surveillance, child custody, cheating spouse, online dating, and social media investigations. Service delivery is centered on hourly or per-project professional-services engagements, supplemented by structured surveillance tiers (Lunch/Dinner Meeting at 4 hours, One-Day Surveillance at 8 hours, and Spousal Check at 16 hours) and GPS tracker rental at $750 for a three-day period or $2,500 per month.

The firm's technology stack combines traditional investigative techniques with what it describes as AI-enhanced investigation tools, cryptocurrency tracking, dark web investigation capabilities, and licensed drone surveillance for accident scene reconstruction. The website integrates online booking (including a $1 one-hour in-person consultation) and is supported by a multi-channel organic presence (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok) and SEO-optimized location, guide, tool, and authority pages targeting Southwest Louisiana search demand. LPIIA also maintains a sister-company relationship with Southwest Louisiana Process Service, providing integrated process service for legal clients. The team is small (1-10 employees) and operates on a direct, sales-led go-to-market motion with no disclosed institutional funding, parent company, or external investors.
