Caspian is the main contractor involved in the conversion of the former Canada Post building on Graham Avenue into the Winnipeg Police Service's new HQ, which has gone $75 million over budget.
At one point on Wednesday, plainclothes officers emerged from the company's office with at least two computers.
According to RCMP, the police headquarters investigation began after the Manitoba government referred three audits to police in August for review.
Calls by CBC News to the owner of Caspian, Armik Babakhanians, have not been returned.
