NZ Security36	 February - March 2012
Association News NZIPI
Ron McQuilter is the current chairman of the NZIPI and is
Managing Director of Paragon Investigations
Ron can be contacted by email: Ron.McQuilter@paragonnz.com
2012 and the start of a very busy year for
the New Zealand Institute of Professional
Investigators, the only New Zealand
Private Investigation Professional Body.
	 As such it is perhaps incumbent on us
to pick up the pieces from some poor
legislation. I refer to the recent introduction
of the Private Security Personnel and
Private Investigators Act 2010 governing
our profession that took 37 years in the
making, yet has some glaring issues one of
which could destroy our good reputation
committed private investigators have been
working for years to create.
	 Imagine letting a person practice law
without any training or qualification. You
just don’t believe it could ever happen.
	 So what about just putting a Police
uniform on any person with no training
or experience and letting them go around
in a Police car attending crimes and
interviewing witnesses.
	 Again, you would think the world had
gone nuts. Why then would a new Act
permit the Ministry of Justice to grant a
person a Certificate of Approval to be an
independent contractor Private Investigator
without any training, qualification or other
experience, just because the applicant
happens to pay for a Crowd Controllers
Certificate at the same time and just decides
to tick the box for PI.
NZIPI Update
	 It gets worse, if a truly well qualified and
experienced Private Investigator does the
reverse and ticks to be a Crowd Controller
then they will soon be required to sit an
exam, despite the persons Police or other
background.
	 For this reason, NZIPI have decided
to look very carefully at applications
for membership whilst at the same time
embarking on a soon to be released
marketing campaign promoting that clients
seek NZIPI membership status of their
investigators. Perhaps, this is the only way
a client could get some form of comfort
that the person to whom they have placed
their trust (and money) is at least regarded
by their peers as a person fit to be a
member of NZIPI.
	 Some good news though is that our
submissions to the New Zealand Transport
Agency were well received and after lengthy
dialogue access to the Motor Vehicle register
has been granted to many applicants, of
course on payment of the appropriate
fee. By way of background, no Private
Investigator in my 29 years in the business
here has to my knowledge ever been taken
to task over checking the owner of a vehicle.
	 What was interesting in our submissions
was when we discussed the necessity when
performing surveillance to ensure you are
following the correct suspect. It sounds
obvious but from a privacy perspective
how horrible is it if a Private Investigator
was following you around because you
unwittingly parked your car outside his
suspect’s house and the Investigator was
unable to determine the registered owner.
	 This surely invades another’s privacy and
also could allow a crime to occur while
the wrong person is being followed. The
granting of access does come with very strict
reporting and auditing requirements with the
onus on the Private Investigator to ensure
accurate records of all vehicles checked are
maintained and the purpose noted.
	 So with a positive start the outlook for
2012 is good for the members of NZIPI,
or more importantly the clients we act
for. The membership is united in our
Code of Ethics and promoting ourselves
as New Zealand’s foremost Professional
Investigative Industry Body.
What
happened
to good old
fashioned
surveillance
PI gets a flash new Snitch GPS tracker
purpose adapted to allow it to be both
hard wired and battery operated.
	 The PI decides to test the battery life
(expected to be four days). So the very
busy PI plants the GPS somewhere
were it cannot easily be found, then
forgets where he put it 	
	 That was on 29 September 2011 and
it’s still missing.
