Hiring a detective

Before you decide to hire a detective, you should know what to check and about what to ask him.

Before signing a contract for specific activities you need to get an answer for a few questions to be sure that you chose a right person.

You should know that his licence and his words about experience and effectiveness are not enough to judge his credibility and professionalism.

What do you need to know and about what to ask to hire the best detective for your assignment?

  • first you need to ask for the detective's licence and check at the first meeting whether he really has one. You should know that licences are issued by Province Police, and obtaining it is preceded by a course and passing the exam.
  • another document to check the legality of the services provided is an entry in the detective's company in the register as business. This entry allows providing that services.
  • check his experience. This question is best answered by the information from when he has a licence and since when his activity has been entered. The longer the licence period, the greater the experience, as well.
  • another way to verify the person and his services is the Internet. You should enter the name of the detective and his profession into the search engine and, based on the search results, you can check the opinion of Internet users about him and the quality of his services.
  • check your detective by visiting his website. The lack of his website or the lack of licence information on his website should disqualify him in your eyes, and you should look for another specialist.
  • on the detective's website, you can check the scope of his cases. Your order should stay within the scope of his services. This information can show that you have found a detective who is appropriate for your needs.
  • it is a good practice that detective present on his website the hardware and software he uses at work. In this way, he can bring us his professionalism at work
  • during the first conversation, you should get from the detective an information which kind of evidence and information obtained by him can be used as evidence in court
  • during the conversation, ask, he has civil liability insurance. Having such insurance is necessary because it can save us from expenses in extreme situations
  • the price of services is not the most important point to check, but when you're deciding to hire the most expensive offer, you should be convinced that you will get a Premium service
  • if someone from your family or friends previously mentioned their experiences with a detective, in this case you can discreetly ask if they would recommend him to you or not.

I hope that this short information let you choose the right private detective for your case.
