Who We Are
First Recon is a licensed Ontario private investigation agency that works almost exclusively with businesses and institutions.
We are brought in when workplace situations are unclear, sensitive, or carry real operational, legal, or reputational risk, and when employers need reliable information before making decisions.
Our role is simple:
To provide clarity.
Not assumptions.
Not escalation.
Not unnecessary disruption.
We are professionals supporting other professionals with the information needed to make informed decisions.
Our Focus
We specialize in workplace and insurance related investigations, including:
-
Questionable injury and WSIB claims
-
Internal fraud, theft, and employee misconduct
-
Investigative interviews and workplace fact finding
-
Surveillance and activity verification
We understand that these matters involve real people, real livelihoods, and real consequences. That understanding guides how we approach every investigation.

Our approach is professional, neutral, and evidence-driven.
We focus on gathering objective, reliable information so employers can:
-

Experience That Fits the Situation
First Recon has been operating since 2011 and has supported organizations across Ontario in navigating complex workplace and insurance matters.
Over time, our work has evolved alongside the needs of employers expanding from loss prevention and fraud prevention into broader workplace investigations and fact finding services.
That experience allows us to tailor our approach to the situation at hand, rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all solution.
When to Reach Out
You do not need certainty or proof before contacting us.
Employers often reach out when:
-
Something doesn’t feel right
-
Internal reviews raise more questions than answers
-
Decisions carry risk and clarity is needed first
A short, confidential conversation can often help determine next steps, or confirm that no action is needed at all.
Professional. Confidential. Discreet.
These are not marketing terms for us.
They are how we operate. Every time!
If you’re navigating a situation and need clarity before taking action, we’re here to help.
