The Modern Private Investigator

 People tend to think of all sorts of shadowy tough figures when trying to imagine how a private investigator would look like. Sometimes people think that private investigators have a posh office complete with futuristic gadgets or the complete opposite, having a dark office opening into an alley or a dangerous street.

Private Investigators in the Past

What comes to mind when you try to imagine what being a private investigator is like?

Is it like in the movies, where the sleuth is a dashing gentleman with super-hero like attributes for whom the ladies swoon over? Or is it the tough guy image, barely making ends meet and trying to go by dangerous requests from private clients?

The truth is actually far from both. Here’s the biggest shocker, about 15% of private eyes at present time are females. True, that’s not a huge percentage but that just means times are changing. However way private investigators are portrayed in movies, books, and shows in the past, it is far from reality.

Gone are the days of private eyes who are involved in illegal or questionable activities in the past such as wire-tapping, getting phone records illegally, and pretending to be law enforcement officers. Today’s private investigators are professionals who undergo intensive and extensive training, plus are required to undergo licensing.
