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.

How We Work

Our approach is professional, neutral, and evidence-driven.

We focus on gathering objective, reliable information so employers can:

  • Understand what is actually happening

  • Reduce uncertainty before taking action

  • Make informed, fair, and defensible decisions

Every investigation is conducted discreetly, lawfully, and with respect for privacy and workplace dynamics.

Why Employers Choose First Recon

Employers work with us because we:

  • Handle sensitive matters quietly and professionally

  • Communicate clearly and honestly throughout the process

  • Avoid unnecessary escalation or disruption

  • Focus on facts, not assumptions

  • Deliver documentation that supports internal decision-making

We understand that protecting your organization and your reputation is always part of the job.

 

 

 

 

 

 

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.
