Frequently Asked Questions
Most frequent questions and answers
What is a private investigator?
A private investigator is a real-life professional who digs into the truth—nothing like what you see on TV! We’re private individuals with real experience—some of us have college degrees, law enforcement backgrounds, or have worked alongside licensed PIs until we gained enough knowledge to take the state exam. We’re here to get the facts, whether it’s finding someone, uncovering fraud, or solving a mystery!
what does a private investigator do ?
A private investigator’s job is all about getting to the truth. We can locate witnesses, conduct surveillance, and help with anything a private citizen can do—like running background checks or digging into public records. While we’re skilled at uncovering hidden details, we’re not law enforcement, so we don’t have the power to arrest or enforce laws.

How do private investigators handle confidentiality?
We take confidentiality seriously—it’s the backbone of our profession. As licensed professionals, we are bound by the Private Investigator Act and our governing body to protect your privacy. Your case details are kept strictly confidential. However, we can be required to respond to subpoenas or cooperate with law enforcement in certain situations. But rest assured, your information stays in trusted hands unless legally required otherwise
How do private investigators communicate with clients ?
Communication is key to our work, and we keep our clients in the loop through phone, text, or email.

Rest assured, we’ll update you as soon as we can with the important details you need
