A Singapore investigation agency built on real police experience

Our purpose
Why Privateye exists
Many people facing a difficult personal or business situation don’t know where to turn for a trustworthy, discreet investigation. Privateye was built to fill that gap — bringing proper investigative standards, hard-won in the Singapore Police Force, to private clients who need the truth handled with care.
Leadership
The founder — Jeffrey Lim
Jeffrey Lim leads every Privateye engagement personally. Over more than three decades with the Singapore Police Force, he built a 100% conviction record — experience he now brings to matrimonial, commercial, WICA and general investigations for private clients.
He is not a strong believer in a big, faceless agency. Cases are scoped and overseen by Jeffrey himself, with a trusted team of investigators activated as each assignment requires — so the person who hears your situation is the person accountable for it.
