The
industry of private investigation entails various duties to aid in the
collection of information and evidence, which is used to support any
legal cases or for private party education and knowledge. Private investigators
typically provide their services to lawyers to assist in building criminal
cases or defenses. They are also a resource that is often used in major
companies and corporations to detect fraudulent activities amongst employees
or consumers.
One of the most common reasons a private investigator is called upon
is for domestic issues. Identity theft, personal relationship conflicts
and asset protection are other reasons investigations may be required.
Furthermore, it is much more profitable than any other cases an investigator
may accept. This service is a tool to be utilized for educational purposes,
as well as for protection. Valid information and facts gathered by an
investigator can bring about awareness to activities and possible intentions
of any given individual. With that, one can make an educated decision
or guess whether or not to associate with any one person, company or
establishment.
It
appears today most P.I’s come from various occupations that are inter-related,
such as law enforcement, court systems, or other criminal based government
establishments. A bona fide private investigator although, is one who
does not partake in unethical methods to obtain information, and whose
main motive is to gather facts that reveal or lead to the truth of any
given matter.
- The skills I have
that fit into this business is my ability to take direction, research
effectively, problem-solve, work as a team if needed, communicate effectively
any information with accuracy, and the skill to keep and open mind versus
a narrow mind. I keep myself open to all possibilities, due to my personal
life experiences. I also have a “go-getter” and self-motivated attitude.
- I have never participated
in checking an individual’s background, however one has been done
on my when I obtained my notary and real estate license.
- I have 3 main reasons
why being exposed to private investigation appeals to me. The first
is, I have a 21-year-old brother who was involved in many crimes, which
affected many people. As a consequence, he is incarcerated in McFarland
state prison. This further compelled me to return to school and earn
my degree in criminal justice. I want to make a difference on any level
I possibly can to aid the community in educating themselves, or assisting
them is solving their major problems brought about by criminals like
my brother. Being apart of a team or establishment that can utilize
my skills and later my degree to make a difference is an important goal
I have set and will accomplish. The final reason is, I have been exposed
to the real-estate industry through my parents all of my life. From
many different aspects, I have seen fraud implemented on all levels.
This type of behavior disgusts me and has driven me to find a proper
way to correct it or make a difference. In my business the reason for
fraud is purely monetary. Most crimes I believe are committed for some
level of self-gratification. These are the main reasons why being exposed
to private investigation interests me.
