About Warwickshire Investigation Agency (WIA)

Warwickshire Investigation Agency (WIA) is a female run private detective and investigation company that specialises in professional evidence gathering using covert methods of observation and surveillance. The agency is staffed exclusively with highly trained police or military trained personnel, all of whom are speciaists in their field.

WIA is owned and headed by its principal and senior investigator, Maria Cooper.  Maria has an extensive history in professional investigation. She joined Thames Valley Police (TVP) in 1982, serving just under 20 years prior to her retirement in 2002.  During the vast proportion of her service, Maria was a specialist officer becoming an expert in the use of firearms and providing personal protection for the Royal Family and visiting VIPʼs to the area. She still holds the highest grades gained by any female officer in both advanced and evasive driving techniques.

In her later service, Maria extended her skills to include covert evidence gathering and surveillance. She obtained the highest grades in surveillance and went on to become an integral part of the TVP Intelligent Support Team (IST) where her training and experience resulted in her perfecting her skills in evidence gathering, covert observations and surveillance. Covert Photography, professional log keeping and statement writing were all undertaken on a daily basis presenting indisputable professional evidence to the U.K Criminal Court system.

Maria was awarded two commendations during her service for bravery and devotion to duty.  She retired from the police service in 2002 and has since gone on to obtain the Diploma in Advanced Investigation through the Association of Professional Investigators. Maria passed all 5 categories of the Diploma with distinction.
