Private Investigator also known as Private Detective requires broad knowledge to be very successful. You need broad based training, just like many other criminal justice professions. The last thing you need is to be called for a job only for you to discover that you are not equipped to handle that job. In this article, I will discuss some of the many hats (jobs) private investigators may be called to wear.

1. The private investigator may be called to wear the hat of Interviewer. This requires their talking to people to gather facts.

For example, a law firm preparing for a case in court may hire a private investigator to interview witnesses. Though a lot of people will call this interrogation when done by a private investigator, but the job here is just to help the law firm gather the facts.

2. The private investigator may be called to wear the hat of a Researcher. This involves going over mountains of paper to fish out information. In this digital age, this may involve using the computer and the internet.

It will be wise then for the private investigator to be high tech savvy. Investing time and money in computer training will not be a bad idea for those that don’t want to forgo work in this area.

3. The private investigator may be called to wear the hat of a Surveillance Person. Surveillance can be said to be synonymous with investigation. In the old days, this is probably the majority of the job done by private detectives.

An example is spouse that suspects his/her partner of cheating. He/She would hire a private investigator to follow their partner to catch them in the act of cheating. Private investigators normally accomplish this through surveillance.

The surveillance would normally be captured on video or still camera. This way, the private investigator will have the physical evidence to show the person who hired him/her. In the current reality TV craze, there is even a television show on this. The host would video tape the cheater, sometimes with hidden video camera. The video tape is then played on television.

4. The private investigator may be called to wear the hat of Store Detective. Theft is a big problem for retail stores. To help combat this problem, retail stores would hire private detectives.

The detective’s job is to catch shoplifters or employees that try to steal goods or merchandise. The detective will usually be hidden out of sight and most likely use hidden video cameras to watch shoppers and employees. If there are shoplifters, you can be sure the private detective will catch them.

There you have it! The many hats private investigators can wear in their profession. Those that prepare themselves with the right training will have plenty of jobs at their disposal. Who knows, they could end up being TV stars, like the star of the TV show, Cheaters.

Criminal Justice is an exciting field. One of the most beautiful things about the profession is that you have many career choices. You have the option of not being stuck doing the same thing your whole career. One of the choices you have is that of being a Private Investigator. In this article, I will examine the role of the Private Investigator (PI) in the Criminal Justice field.

To examine the role of the private investigator in the criminal justice field, we need to understand the meaning of the words Private Investigator.

The word private means alone. This means as a private investigator your work will involve working by yourself or alone. You do not work with or work for a governmental organization or police group.

The word investigator means someone who does detailed examination and searches for the facts. Facts are needed to support a point someone is trying to make. Without these facts, the person may not be able to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt. This is where the investigator comes in. The investigator will help gather and examine the facts.

So to put them together, the private investigator works alone to help non governmental organizations or police groups gather information and examine this information for the facts. There are simply personal cases that governmental organizations cannot help individuals with. The private investigator’s role is to help these individuals.

An example is an attorney preparing for a court case. The private investigator can help this attorney gather and examine facts for the case.

Another example is insurance company that suspects someone of committing insurance fraud. This insurance company cannot simply accuse someone of committing insurance fraud. When it suspects there is such insurance fraud, it will employ the services of a private investigator to gather the facts to prove this suspicion.

The need for the private investigator to work in private is to allow him/her not to be detected by the people or person they are investigating. It must be pointed out that there are times a private investigator must work with other people. A private investigator working a case that requires surveillance may require someone to help setup and/or operate the surveillance equipment/s.

As can be seen, the role the private investigator plays in the criminal justice field is an important one. It’s a profession people interested in this exciting field should consider.
