About Tap Detectors

Tap Depot was founded by John A. Moschella in New York City and distributes to individuals and security professionals Worldwide. After extensive research, both nationwide and international, we were able to design a product to detect a telephone tap and disrupt the tapping device simultaneously. Our research identified various products comparably priced which would detect a telephone tap but not disrupt the monitoring station. Our study disclosed that these devices were only able to detect a tap within close proximity of the telephone instrument but yet failed to detect a hard wired tap at the demarcation point or a wireless tap within the frequency range of 1 MHZ – 6 GHZ. Generally, when an intruder places a tapping device on a telephone line, it is installed on the outside of the structure or at a transfer point between the central office. Based on our testing, comparable products were not effective in detecting the tap. Also, all the tap detectors we tested were unable to emit a load tone on the telephone line or withstand line voltage in excess or 41 volts. In addition, most devices tested were not compatible with PBX, FAX, DSL or T 1 lines. Based on our research, testing and experience, the “INTERCEPTOR” was created.

The President of Investigative Logistics, John A. Moschella, has been in the private sector performing nationwide investigations and security consulting since 1994. Mr. Moschella has been retained to perform numerous investigations related to the detection of wiretaps. Our clients include publicly trading companies, private corporations, prominent individuals and others seeking to protect their privacy. Mr. Moschella has been quoted as stating, “from corporate espionage to identity theft, the installation of a telephone tap detector is just as important as shredding important documents”. Featured on national television and radio for his investigative skills, Mr. Moschella has been classified as an expert investigator and technology specialist. With his combined law enforcement experience from the Division of Fire Investigation, Supreme Court, New York City Police Department and United States Marshal Service, he is a trusted source to many individuals nationwide. Through his expertise and accomplishments, we were able to achieve our goal and design our product.

Our consultant, Arthur Mc Nevin, has in excess of forty years experience as the former Assistant Chief of the New York City Police Department. Mr. Mc Nevin brought to us a vast amount of experience and technical skills to assist in the design of the “INTERCEPTOR”. Throughout his career, he was the Commanding Officer of various units within the New York City Police Department. Specifically, as Commanding Officer of the Special Operations Division, he worked closely with members of the Technical Assistance and Response Unit, in testing, purchasing, and utilizing high profile electronic equipment. Mr. Mc Nevin’s experience has been a valuable asset to the design and growth of our product.
