What is a Private Investigator?
Generally, "Private Investigator" means a person who investigates and furnishes information for hire or reward, including a person who,
(a) searches for and furnishes information as to the personal character or actions of a person, or character or kind of business or occupation of a person,
(b) searches for offenders against the law, or
(c) searches for missing persons or property.
The Private Investigation profession is growing at such a rate that even the government regulators find themselves overwhelmed. As law enforcement budgets are stretched, Private Investigators are playing a larger role in both the domestic and business affairs of the community.
There are as many different kinds of investigations as there are investigators. The Private Investigation profession is a diverse and multi faceted occupation with the Private Investigators coming from varied backgrounds.
