Our Approach
At Mantis, we believe in approaching all task assignments with an open mind, free from any preconceived or subjective notions. Our philosophy views investigation as a holistic endeavor, where we utilize a combination of surveillance, comprehensive background checks, and in-depth social media analysis to paint a realistic picture of the claimant's current capabilities and past activities.
Our Story
Founded in 1977 by John Spray, the Mantis agency initially operated as a one-man show for two years. However, John's successful recipe of combining surveillance with comprehensive background checks resulted in a surge of business, which necessitated the addition of extra staff. John takes immense pride in the agency he founded and remains dedicated to ensuring that the Mantis product adheres to the highest industry standards.
