Specifications include, but are not limited to: Qualified firms to provide investigation/surveillance services in the processing of disability pension applications filed by police officers and firefighters. It is the intent of LAFPP to select one or more qualified Contractors to perform record searches, background investigations, and human surveillance services. These services serve as a claims validation tool to assist Staff and pension physicians in determining whether an applicant’s/claimant’s activities are consistent with his or her purported disability, including any unreported employment/business activity through record database searches, field observations, video footage, photos, and/or other evidence gathered through modern investigative resources/methods. Prospective contractors must have demonstrated recent history of providing such services to clients, preferably to other government entities and public pension systems.
