Williams Investigations

Williams Investigations is an Auckland based investigations company, that has investigators based all around the motu. It is owned and managed by Liz and Mike Williams, both ex police officers with wide ranging policing careers.

Mike served 20 years in management positions in the New Zealand police, then between 2014-2018, in the North Territory police in Australia. Alongside his core police management role, Mike was also a dedicated surveillance operator, a team leader in the NZ Police AOS (Armed Offenders Squad), a firearms instructor, and a highly regarded leader in times of crisis.

Liz has 24 years policing experience where she has worked as a Detective and Detective Sergeant. While Mike handles the running of the business behind the scenes, Liz is the main face of Williams Investigations, investigating cases on behalf of defence counsel, private briefs in New Zealand and overseas, and also insurance companies. Between 2014 and 2018, she also worked in the Northern Territory Police Force alongside Mike, initially as a mounted police officer, then again as a detective investigating homicides, family violence and child abuse cases, before returning to New Zealand and taking up her current role as a private investigator. Liz has also had many other interests; she was a police negotiator, an investigative interviewer, an Armed Offenders Squad (AOS) member, and a Personal Protection Officer (PPO). She is also the author of two autobiographies (Does this make my gun look big? - Hazard Press, and Five Foot and Fearless - Penguin), a public speaker, a business professional, and an artist.

Liz thrives on a challenge and her focus is on getting the best outcomes for her clients. Even if you're just seeking advice on what to do next, get in touch today.
