What do private investigators do?
Private investigators employ techniques such as public record searches for background checks and pre-employment screening. Private Investigators interview people to gain critical information gather evidence and verify facts about individuals, events or companies. Private investigators may provide assistance in civil liability and personal injury cases, insurance claims and fraud, child custody cases, premarital screening and marital infidelity. Some private investigative firms offer executive and celebrity protection and serve court papers.

The Field of Private Investigation is vast and diverse, from high-tech computer fraud to interviewing witnesses - there's a need for virtually all types of people and for a vast array of skills. Probably the most worthwhile investigative attribute is the desire to get at the truth. Most investigators possess an almost dog-like tenacity (hence, the symbol of the hound dog with the magnifying glass, used so often by private investigation firms). If you enjoy digging for clues, following every thread - solving puzzles - you will likely make a good investigator. One major trait common among investigators is the desired to help people and fulfill client's need.
