Murfreesboro’s Private Investigation Firm, Built On A Statewide Standard
Praesidium Investigations is a licensed private investigation agency headquartered in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, and operated as a company of Delator Group, a Nashville-based investigative and process serving organization licensed and active across all 95 Tennessee counties. Where Delator Group anchors Middle Tennessee’s corporate, legal, and government investigative work, Praesidium was built to serve Rutherford County and the greater Murfreesboro area directly — with the same rigor, licensing standards, and case discipline the Delator Group name is built on.
Clients across Murfreesboro, Smyrna, La Vergne, Eagleville, Christiana, Rockvale, and the surrounding Middle Tennessee communities come to Praesidium Investigations for one reason: the truth, documented in a way that holds up — whether that’s in a family law proceeding, an insurance claim, a corporate personnel matter, or a private family decision that was never meant to become public.
Every investigator operating under the Praesidium name is held to Tennessee’s private investigator licensing requirements and to Delator Group’s internal chain-of-custody, reporting, and communication standards — meaning your case file is never subcontracted, never handed off to a third-party investigator you’ve never spoken with, and never treated as a commodity file in a national clearinghouse queue.
Fieldwork After Dark
Most activity worth documenting doesn’t happen at 9 a.m. Our investigators log the hours a case actually requires.
Wherever The Case Leads
Murfreesboro is home base — but a locate, a records trail, or a subject’s route rarely stays inside one zip code.

Private Investigator Questions, Answered
Is it legal to hire a private investigator in Tennessee?
Yes. Hiring a licensed private investigator is legal in Tennessee for a wide range of purposes, including infidelity investigations, background checks, surveillance, and locate services. Praesidium Investigations operates under Tennessee’s private investigator licensing requirements through Delator Group, and every investigation is conducted within applicable state and federal law.
How much does a private investigator cost in Murfreesboro, TN?
Cost depends on the type of case, the amount of fieldwork required, and the timeline involved. Simple record checks and locate services typically cost less than multi-day surveillance cases. Every Praesidium Investigations engagement begins with a confidential consultation where scope and cost are discussed before any work begins — there are no hidden fees.
Can private investigator evidence be used in court?
Properly documented surveillance, photographs, video, and reports from a licensed investigator can be used to support a case in family law, civil, and insurance proceedings. Praesidium Investigations prepares all documentation to a standard intended to hold up under attorney and court review, including accurate timestamps and a clear evidence chain.
Do you serve areas outside of Murfreesboro and Rutherford County?
Yes. While Praesidium Investigations is based in Murfreesboro and focused on Rutherford County, we operate as part of Delator Group, which is licensed and active across all 95 Tennessee counties — including Nashville, Franklin, and the greater Middle Tennessee region.
How discreet is the investigation process?
Discretion governs every part of the process, from how we communicate with you to how field investigators conduct surveillance. Case details are shared only with you (and your attorney, if applicable) and are never discussed with the subject of an investigation or third parties.
What information do I need to provide to open a case?
At minimum, we need a general description of the situation and the outcome you’re hoping to achieve. From there, we’ll ask targeted questions — such as known addresses, vehicles, workplaces, or schedules — to help scope the investigation accurately during your confidential consultation.
Does Praesidium Investigations handle process serving as well?
Praesidium focuses on investigative work, but our sister division, Delator Field Services, handles licensed process serving across all 95 Tennessee counties. Many clients use both services through a single point of contact.
