it a profession anyone can enter or is it restricted to a select few?
Getting into the private investigation business today has almost become open slather. That is, if you satisfy certain criteria. If you are a convicted criminal with a history of misdemeanors then your chances of gaining a licence would be pretty slim.
As a private investigator, you're required to possess certain ethical qualities and the screening process has become more and more rigid. However, don't be put off by the qualifying criteria until you have made your own investigations on what's required to gain a licence and employment in the P.I. field.
In The USA
Many jurisdictions especially in USA require a private investigator, or detectives, to be licensed, and they can if they are allowed by the law to carry firearms. Many of them are ex-police officers. They are trained to keep detailed notes and prepared to testify for their clients on behalf of what they've found out in their investigations. They have to take care of their actions to not trespass private property or undertake any activity that could result in a criminal charge.
If a private investigator ever crosses this line, and gets charged with criminal activity, then the chances of them losing their license or being suspended are extremely high.
Working Conditions
The working conditions for a private investigator vary. The industry has evolved to such a state that spending long hours in surveillance mode is no longer the only option available to P.I.'s.
People from all walks of life are entering the field of private investigation and bringing with them certain skills. For example, those with computer science qualifications will spend most of their time sitting at their desk and plying their craft on such cases as online fraud and tracking down missing persons.
People with police or military backgrounds will usually opt for more field work and spend a lot of their time in surveillance situations.
There are many cases a P.I. takes which are common knowledge. For example, many private investigators are involved in the process of serving, summons delivery, subpoenas and many other legal documents to parties in a legal case (not the most thrilling of work). Tracking down a debtor of some of their clients is also a large part of the work that a private investigator does.
While private investigator agencies are usually equipped to cover most areas of society, many will simply specialize in a certain field. For example many agencies deal only with tracing debtors. Others may specialize in technical surveillance countermeasures, or TSCM, which is the locating and dealing with unwanted forms of electronic surveillance (for example, a bugged boardroom for industrial espionage purposes).
It's Your Choice
Yes, the private investigator industry is a growing one and offers new recruits plenty of scope however, it can be a lonely existence.
Work hours can be irregular and if you're the type of person who likes routine, then you may want to consider other options. As far as personal relationships are concerned, again with the irregularity of the work hours, maintaining relationships at a level you once enjoyed could be a thing of the past.
