Early Background

Before launching Investigation Hotline in 1988, Mitchell built a successful business called “Just-in-Case,” which pioneered bulk supply services in Canada and anticipated the model later popularized by giants like Costco.

His entrepreneurial background, combined with a strong interest in human behaviour and problem-solving, ultimately led him into the field of investigations.

Since launching Investigation Hotline in 1988, Mitchell has remained closely involved in the agency’s day-to-day operations and investigative strategy. His experience spans decades of evolving investigative methods, surveillance technologies, and intelligence-gathering techniques.

A Practical Approach to Investigations

Many clients contact private investigators during periods of uncertainty, conflict, or major life decisions. Mitchell believes investigations should focus on facts, clarity, and practical guidance rather than unnecessary escalation.

Under his leadership, Investigation Hotline has developed a reputation for transparent communication, professionalism, and results-driven investigations designed to help clients make informed decisions.

“When people contact us, they’re often dealing with one of the most difficult situations in their lives. Our role is to provide clarity, professionalism, and reliable information they can trust.” — Mitchell Dubros
