How to Get Private Investigation Information
- 1). Figure out what kind of information you want the private investigator to find. Some investigators specialize, such as looking for old friends, investigating insurance fraud or finding out if someone's spouse or partner is being unfaithful.
- 2). Ask the private investigator for proof of qualifications, such as certifications, licenses or written references from satisfied clients. References will likely be anonymous for many private investigators.
- 3). Talk more with the private investigator about what kind of information can be provided to you. Sometimes, more in-depth services, such as following someone around, will cost extra. Other times, they are not offered. Make sure the private investigator can provide you with the type of information you're looking for. Get the services that can be provided in writing.
- 4). Tell the private investigator what information you want provided. This ensures that the investigator is comfortable with the level of service and the type of information you want before accepting the job.
- 5). Go through the information with the private investigator carefully once it has been collected. Be sure you understand all of it and have received all of the information the investigator agreed to provide you with.
