How to hire a private investigator?

First and the most important of all you have to look for is the qualification and experience of a P.I and the amount of experience he has , the number of successful cases he /she has solved and also their reputation , never hire someone just like that , make sure you go through an agency or someone who knows about P.I’s .

Most private detectives may have been retired military officers or people who worked as law enforcers, this doesn’t mean you have to go ahead and hire the person, you’ll have to see if he fits the experience you are looking for after having a look at his profile and the successful cases.

The next most important thing to look out for is , if the P.I matches the type of case you’re hiring him for , for example some of them specialise in a particular field of investigation and surveillance , they can handle that type of a case with ease due to experience , or they could also be called specialists in that type of case , for example there are investigators who specialise in dealing with case that relate to kidnapping , false insurance claims and so on, so its left up to you to look for the right person who matches your case perfectly .
Another important thing to notice is the investigators license, see if he/she carries a proper valid licence to work as a private investigator. There are many people out there who are not well experienced and are capable of cheating you.

All private investigators need to be covered with an insurance which is very important, because during the course of the investigation process , there could be possibilities of damage to valuables and others.
