Private Investigator
A Private Investigator (PI) in the US conducts surveillance, gathers evidence, and investigates individuals or organisations on behalf of clients. PIs work on cases involving infidelity, fraud, missing persons, background checks, and legal support. They operate independently or within agencies, often serving law firms, corporations, and private clients. Strong analytical skills, discretion, and knowledge of state licensing laws are essential. Many PIs are former law enforcement or military professionals.
