Private Detective Job Overview & Licensing Information

General Role of a Private Detective

Private detectives and investigators provide investigative support to individuals, businesses, and legal professionals by gathering, reviewing, and analyzing information tied to personal, legal, or financial matters. Their work often involves connecting small details to uncover facts that are not immediately visible.

The profession frequently requires irregular hours, and assignments can involve physical risk. Many investigators operate independently, while others work within agencies or corporate environments. Competition for positions remains strong, even as demand for investigative services continues to grow.
