A Career In Private Investigations as a Private Investigator

Posted by Long Island Private Investigator
We receive several calls weekly from people interested in becoming private investigators.
A career in private investigations can consist of several positions. If you choose to become an investigator, working out in the field, then experience is a must in NY, in order to obtain a license. It is law in New York and most other places, to obtain a license to be a private investigator. For those individuals who have prior law enforcement experience,obtaining a license is fairly simple since you already meet the requirements. But for those inexperienced people looking to break into the filed, it is more difficult to qualify.
The only advice I can give is to call and send resumes to as many established agencies as possible, seeking employment. You do not need to be licensed if you are an employee of a licensed agency. After you complete the specific amount of time required by the state, you can then take the steps to apply for a license.

Private Investigator Long Island - TrueScoop on Facebook

There is a new app on Facebook called TrueScoop that allows Facebook account holders to search for quite a bit of private information including criminal records. There is some information stating that this is NOT a substitute for a true criminal background or any background check. But will people realize this?
Am I the only one who sees the potential problems with this service? This is surely no substitution for a REAL criminal background investigation using the tools of our trade and going straight for the court systems for accurate records. Privater Investigators sound off.
