If you need information for sensitive personal matters or business concerns, it’s essential you go to a source you can trust. After all, the outcome of your situation may rest heavily on the information collected and how it’s gathered. As such, it’s vital to hire a licensed, insured, and experienced private investigator who can meet both your expectations and legal requirements.
Licensing Is Essential
If your case is in Tennessee, it’s not just a good idea to hire a licensed investigator, it’s actually the law. All private investigators operating in Tennessee are required to be licensed. We’re proud to hold licenses not only in Tennessee but also in Kentucky and Alabama, which helps us follow leads across state lines where reciprocity agreements may not apply.
If your case crosses into a state where we’re not licensed, please note, we’re members of national investigator associations, which means we can get you referred to a trusted investigator, often at a reduced rate. These memberships also come with a professional code of ethics, ensuring your case is handled with integrity. A licensed, experienced and well-connected private investigator will make sure your case is handled with the care it deserves.
Certification, Insurance, and Ongoing Education Matter
Licensing is just the start. In addition, you’ll want to work with a P.I. who is fully certified and insured. In Tennessee, investigators must complete 12 hours of Continuing Professional Education (CPE) every two years, including two hours specifically focused on ethics. These sessions keep us up to date on new investigative methods and technologies, including surveillance tools and courtroom presentation tactics.
That continued training pays off when it’s time to deliver results that will hold up in court. It’s not just about watching and waiting; it’s about documenting evidence that can be used to your advantage.
Tools, Tech, and Thinking Outside the Box
Experience counts, but only when it’s matched with modern techniques. Some investigators are stuck using outdated tools that won’t cut it today. We use advanced tools like GoPro’s and iPad cameras, encrypted file sharing systems, and high-definition video to get the footage others miss. Whether it takes a plane, train, or automobile to get the shot, we’ll make it happen.
If you’re ready to work with a private investigator who’s licensed, certified, and committed to doing the job right the first time, contact us. We don’t outsource and your initial consultation is free. Call us at 615-777-8555 to get started.
