How to
Become a Private Investigator: Career Advice
If you've ever considered a career as a Professional Investigator, the time is right to
break into this exciting industry! New specialties and areas of
expertise are being created frequently, necessitated by an unquenchable
demand for information.
What new specialties are opening up? Where is the best money being made? You need to know about
background, training, and educational requirements, about professional
associations that will help you network with other PI's and information
specialists, and how to keep abreast of developments in this
fast-growing field.
Licensing requirements vary from state to state. See
State Licensing Information for Private InvestigatorsQ. What should I do to get started to become private investigator?
 |
"Talk to investigators. Talk to attorneys. Basically, do a
background. Find out what it's like to be an investigator. Find
out about the area you want to go into. Everything today is very
specialized. For instance, an investigator I work with up in New
York only works on patent fraud. If you want to do patent fraud,
get your MBA. Study engineering. My cousin is an arson
investigator. He has a chemical and technical background. Someone
who wants to start out in this field, yes, go for it! It's not a
shadowing profession. It's not Sam Spade, it's a good energetic,
interesting, productive way of contributing and making a living.
You're doing the first thing you should do which is research." -

"Contact some local investigative agencies. Make every attempt to sit down
with a person who knows what he or she is doing. You might
volunteer your time with an agency most likely to share
information. Get some first-hand experience. Educate yourself and
get actively involved with an agency." - Darrell Goodwin |
 |
"I decided to go into this line of work (investigation) several years
ago because I'd just gone through a divorce and I couldn't afford a
PI. That's how I got started, doing it myself, working undercover."
- Linda Bowman |
Q. What advice do you have for a young person just coming out of high
school that wanted to become a private investigator?
 |
"Take a course in criminal justice to learn what the system is all about.
Take journalism. If you take two years of criminal justice and two
years of journalism, you'll be an ideal candidate. Learn about
photography, because we're in the business where not only do we have
to produce the information, we have to show proof of it, and the
proof is in photography. Learn about the video equipment that's
being employed now." - Bob Brown |
Q. Do female investigators perform as well as males?
 |
"Women can do a lot more. We're not intimidating to people. I would open my
door to a women as opposed to a man. People will spill their guts to
a women when they won't give a man the time of day. We're sweet and
nice and we're not out to hurt anyone. - Pat Beltrante |
|
|
"Women are naturally inquisitive. By nature we're more detail oriented.
Woman are generally more compassionate. Women look at a case -
especially if it involves child custody or marital situations - from
a different angle then a man. We are also natural for undercover
work. People tell me all the time - and I take it as a compliment -
'You don't look like a Private Investigator.' I like that." - Linnea
Sinclair |

"In the early 70's there were very few female
private investigators. I know of only one. I did not hire women then because I
just did not think they would make good investigators. It was 1976 before I
hired the first woman investigator, a woman who really proved herself and proved
to me that women make excellent investigators. She did a superb job for me and
was with me several years. |
"Since that time, I've hired
many women. In each instance, they have been superior to male investigators.
They can acquire data that men
cannot get. They are less threatening. more and more women have come
into PI business, not only as investigators, but as owners of
agencies. As we moved into the 80's, many women retired from law
enforcement or spent four or five years in public law enforcement and
decided that was not what they wanted to do, so they went into the
private sector. Now, a large percentage of investigators nationwide
are women. I would say at least 10% are women.
"It certainly helps in many instances to be a woman. Doors open for
women that might not open for me. People get the impression I'm a
police officer. They are immediately guarded and somewhat
uncooperative. When I identify myself as a PI, doors do open, but
people are still reluctant to deal with me. They don't have that
reluctance with women, in most instances. - Nick Beltrante |
