Investigations in a Divided Country: Detectives in the UK

The term Great Britain denotes both the geological island on which Scotland, Wales and England are located and the state “United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”, to which Northern Ireland is additionally attached. That these four countries have been united rather than truly integrated becomes increasingly apparent in recent years. All four parts now have their own parliaments (with the City of London parliament as a special case for England). Political power is no longer concentrated solely in Westminster. Separatist tendencies have multiplied at the latest since the controversial Brexit, and even the English favourite gossip topic – the Windsor royal household – contributes its share. The country appears internally as divided as perhaps never before; the historic individual identities of the partners are resurfacing. For private detectives in Great Britain it is essential to know each constituent country in order to keep an overview – also for a possibly divided future. Our detective agency for the UK stands for that with years of on-site experience.

The relationship of the so-called Crown Dependencies in the Channel and the Irish Sea to the mother state is often complicated. Notwithstanding, our detectives on the Isle of Man, Guernsey and Jersey are likewise at your disposal.

At the Heart of British Economic Strength: Investigations by British Detectives in England

England contains by far the largest population centres and the bulk of Great Britain’s economic power. Nearly all the larger cities are found here, and in education the universities such as Oxford and Cambridge or the elite school Eton in Berkshire enjoy worldwide renown. England evokes Shakespeare, Charles Darwin and James Bond on the one hand, and countercultures such as those embodied by the Beatles, the Rolling Stones or the Sex Pistols on the other, as well as hooliganism, binge drinking and increasingly again racism. Working as a detective in Great Britain therefore requires extensive local knowledge and considerable adaptability.

Despite the diminished and still steadily shrinking influence of the English Crown, the self-image of many English people remains oriented to the former world-power status of the so-called Commonwealth. When conducting interviews as private detectives in England, a certain reserve and sensitivity is therefore advisable so as not to alienate the interlocutor. In fact, a number of overseas territories still exist under British sovereignty, predominantly in the Atlantic south of 32 degrees north (Bermuda) and as far down as over 54 degrees south (South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands) or, at least according to the self-understanding of the English Crown, even far into Antarctica to the South Pole (“British Antarctic Territory”). Kurtz Detective Agency Bremen is also happy to assist in matters occurring in the (milder) overseas territories, with Gibraltar constituting the area where our detectives can most readily provide local expertise.

In the Land of the Dragon: Detectives in Wales

The Red Dragon of Cadwaladr is the Welsh national symbol. The country’s name probably dates from Roman times and is thought to mean something like “foreigners” – a sense that remains relevant even for investigations by commercial and private detectives in Wales, and which can be transferred to other regions in Europe: Wallonia in Belgium, the Swiss canton Valais, the Wallachia region in Romania or Włochy, the Polish name for Italy, derive etymologically from the same root. Germans know the term “Kauderwelsch” as a label for an unintelligible form of speech. Fancy a sample of genuinely Welsh tongue-twisters? Ysbyty Ystwyth stands for the university town Aberystwyth in Cardigan Bay; the absolute classic among unpronounceable Welsh names is the village of Llanfair­pwllgwyngyll­gogery­chwyrn­drobwll­llan­tysilio­gogo­goch on Anglesey.

Our private detectives for the United Kingdom do not claim to be fluent in Welsh; however, a basic understanding is present and English will get you there in Wales in any case. Tensions with England are not as pronounced as those with Scotland and Northern Ireland, and culturally the capital Cardiff is close to English large cities. Peculiarities occur more in the inland hilly areas away from the coasts. There the Kurtz Detective Agency for Great Britain can assist, if necessary in cooperation with Welsh investigators: +49 421 3679 9066.

Northern Ireland – A Historical Special Case with Renewed Sensitivity

Northern Ireland represents the greatest special case within the “United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”, because despite its state affiliation with the UK it lies across the Irish Sea on a different island – Ireland, of course. The bloody images of the decades-long disputes over Northern Ireland’s status and the equal rights of its Catholic residents (“The Troubles”) are well known to most of us. Netflix returned the topic to international awareness with the series "Derry Girls" amid renewed uncertainties raised by Brexit, and internationally famous songs such as “Zombie” by the Cranberries or “Sunday Bloody Sunday” by U2 also concern the Northern Ireland conflict. It is questionable how long English dominance over the Irish outpost can be sustained.

Our detective agency for the United Kingdom is familiar with the historical context and the sensitivity of the situation in Northern Ireland. We find the right approach and are happy to assist you with your matter for our detectives in Northern Ireland: +49 421 3679 9066.
