PIs have been in existence for over 150 years. A private
investigator, abbreviated as PI, is also known by two other names:
private detective and inquiry agent. An inquiry agent is a qualified
professional who is hired by companies, a group of people or even
individuals to perform investigatory services for them.
There are PIs who work for lawyers in their civil, capital punishment
and also criminal defense cases. Some insurance companies have
their own private detectives and if not, they hire their services to
investigate claims that look suspicious before paying the claimants.
There are also other private detectives who have their own private
practices and hire out their services to different people.
A private detective can be hired by an investor to help them carry
out investigations on due diligence on an investment firm,
investment ventures, risky businesses and even on a fund manager
to help them be certain that they are not investing in a Ponzi
scheme or being conned. Qualified and licensed investigators who
have years of experience could help save the investors from
fraudulent activities. Investigators help a partner/spouse seeking
divorce to find substantiating evidence that could help them settle
issues concerning alimony, property disputes and child custody.
www.sk.com.sg

7.
For investigators to operate legally in a lot of jurisdictions,
they need to be licensed. Other countries on the other
hand, such as Indonesia, do not recognize PI licenses.
This means that organizations or individuals can start their
own practice without a license. However, the PI’s can get
licenses as security specialists or licenses for consultants
in the gathering of information for the sake of legal
operations as operating any business without a license is
considered illegal. The Investigators in such countries
mostly obtain their qualifications overseas. The PIs are
allowed to carry firearms in some jurisdictions. This will
depend if the law allows or prohibits it. A number PIs,
though not all of them, were former police officers, former
bodyguards, former security guards, ex-spies, and former
agents of the law.
www.sk.com.sg

8.
Even though PIs may be involved in investigating
criminal or illegal activities, most of them have not been
given the authority that police officers have. The only
powers they possess in such cases are those of citizen’s
arrest and also detainment just like other citizens have.
The law requires that the investigators have evidence
and detailed notes and be prepared and willing to testify
in a court of law regarding any information they may have
acquired on their client’s behalf. Care and caution is
required as the private investigator Singapore go
about performing their work. They should at all times
operate within the confines of their country’s laws or they
may find themselves being charged for engaging in
activities regarded as unlawful and criminal.
www.sk.com.sg

9.
The job of PIs requires patience, resilience, tact, and
long irregular hours of work when carrying out
surveillance work and thorough investigations. Some PIs
specialize in one or a few areas of investigations. Some
investigators deal with tracing alone. Others deal in ECM,
that is, electronic counter measures; this line of work
involves dealing with unwanted surveillance in classified
areas such as boardrooms. The PIs locate the bugged
areas of the room and gets rid of the devices. Some PIs
are corporate investigators and specialize in the
protection of trade secrets and also intellectual property,
anti-fraud matters, anti-piracy, investigations on due
diligence, computer forensics issues and infringement of
copyright issues. A person with a background in business
may decide to specialize in the area of financial
investigations. www.sk.com.sg

10.
There are also store private detectives who are
hired to help curb the vice of shoplifting and also
employee theft that is very rampant in many
stores. Many casinos also hire investigators to
help them in investigating crimes, or illegal
winnings in casinos.
www.sk.com.sg

11.
Investigators have become very important in
day to life of not just people but also agencies
for various purposes. The major or general
reason being the fact they assist their clients
dig for information that might seem not to exist
yet in the real sense does exist. A private
investigator Singapore performs a number of
services that help different people in different
areas. Here are why they are important.
www.sk.com.sg

12.
There are so many people who have a pending child
support that they cannot collect. This is primarily because
the debtors are evasive and hence untouchable in the sense
that they do not have any assets in their names, they work
for cash hence do not operate their bank accounts and if
they have, the accounts are not in their name and they drive
with an invalid or suspended license. Trying to get a hold of
collectable assets requires an investigator. Highly qualified
PIs use extensive surveillance to follow the person
everywhere they go and find out where he/she works and
under the pre-text use very effective methods to get the
contacts of that person. The client, using the reliable
information presented by the PI, can then contact the
relevant authority so that they can issue garnishments.
www.sk.com.sg

13.
Private Investigators in Singapore have proven very
effective in helping children find their birth parents.
They help re-unite families by finding a missing
member of their family. Most adoption agencies do not
disclose any information on the adopted children from
their organizations. This information is regarded as
classified however, qualified investigators with years of
experience know how to get around this discreetly and
obtain all the necessary information needed in finding a
child’s birth parents. It can also happen vice versa in
cases where mainly single mothers give away their
children for adoption and later on look for them and try
to claim for them or even establish a personal
relationship with them.
www.sk.com.sg

14.
More and more corporations are increasingly enlisting the
services of private detectives to help them in investigating
theft cases in the company, crimes committed by workers,
managers or shareholders, employee related issues, insider
trading, among other activities. Corporations have become
wary of closing and signing deals. They hire PIs to conduct
investigations on due diligence and perform background
checks on the business partners they are dealing with.
In copyright and trademark related issues; in this era of major
technological advancements, any corporation can become a
victim of some form of piracy. This is considered as theft and
therefore illegal. Big corporations and companies hire highly
qualified and experienced investigators to help them
investigate on any trademark infractions. The Investigators
investigate distributors and even manufacturers who are not
authorized to distribute or manufacture products belonging to
www.sk.com.sg
the big corporations.

15.
Criminal defense, wrongful accusation and aiding
defense lawyers–a person that has been charged for
committing a crime may hire a private investigator in
Singapore to help them find key witnesses for their case.
They may also need PIs to find incriminating evidence
against other people that were also involved. It also is not
uncommon to find someone wrongfully accused of a
crime they did commit. In a bid to prove their innocence,
these people hire the services of PIs to help them get the
evidence needed to acquit them of the crime. Defense
lawyers in most of their court cases hire PIs to help them
in their defense trials. The investigators look for evidence
that will be helpful to the lawyers in their defense.
www.sk.com.sg

16.
PIs find absconding debtors, witnesses and
also litigation parties. Credited companies,
insurance companies and banking institutions
hire investigators to help them collect debts
and serve documents. They track down
missing debtors who owe banks and other
institutions money.
www.sk.com.sg

17.
A private investigator in Singapore is hired by
store owners to help them spot shop lifters. They are
also hired to help curb the vice of employee theft. In
bars, PIs are hired by the owners to see whether all
the drinks ordered are being bought through the
bar’s cash register machine. The PIs pose as
patrons and closely monitor the cash transactions.
www.sk.com.sg

18.
An investigator is a person who does the work of spying on
others at a small fee. Since the work of an investigator is
challenging, it is necessary for them to have some tools that
are reliable and can facilitate their work. Apart from the tools,
they also need to have the necessary personnel as well as
informers who play an important role in collecting and giving
out relevant information.
Some of the tools that an investigator is required to have
include; a camera and a voice recorder. The camera is
important to an investigator because if they are to carry out
their work properly, they will have to take good pictures of
their subjects. The best camera for this kind of work must
have the ability to capture high quality pictures from far
because in most times an investigator will have to be in hiding
when taking the photos. On the other hand, the voice recorder
that an investigator need is essential because they will have
to record any conversations and interviews that are important
for the success of the investigation. The recorder will also be
important for future references like when you want to make
www.sk.com.sg
proper transcripts of all the conversations.

19.
An investigator also requires a wireless audio receiver.
This tool is important to an investigator because it gives
them the ability to listen in on conversations that are
taking place some few meters from them. It is regarded
as one of the best tools which an investigator must have.
A card recorder is also an important tool that a private
detective must have. A card recorder is an innovative
tool that allows one to record calls that a subject makes.
This tool can record all types of calls including cellular,
residential and business calls.
Various computer tools are also necessary for an
investigator to succeed in doing their work. The
investigators require a tool like Skype which facilitates
communication between them and their clients. Skype is
also important because it allows communication between
people who are located far apart.
www.sk.com.sg

20.
This therefore makes it easy for you to seek the
services of a foreign investigator. An investigator will
also require the service of some software tools which
makes their work easier. You can also get software
which allows an investigator to spy on the keystrokes
that a subject presses when compiling emails,
browsing or chatting on the internet. This therefore
allows an investigator to access the subject’s online
conversations and accounts.
www.sk.com.sg

21.
A private detective works for businesses, attorneys,
insurance companies and the public. The PI may be part of a
staff of a large PI firm or have their own private practice.
Some of the services they provide may be to find missing
persons, gather important or crucial information for their
clients, conducting investigations for attorneys in court cases
and doing surveillance. For you to become an investigator,
you will need the following:
You need to know who is in the field as this is your
competition. The majority of professionals in this practice have
mainly a law enforcement or military background. Other PIs
have attained degrees in political science, business or
criminal justice. If you lack the experience listed, then you
need to join a detective institution. There, you will be taught
what it takes to be a detective and acquire essential skills.
Some of the essentials are: using firearms, taking fingerprints
and writing reports. www.sk.com.sg

22.
You also need to become highly efficient in searching
resources available in the computer e.g. Lexis-Nexis, you
need to know how to use credit checks. These two could
by themselves land you a position in a PI firm.
You need to know the requirements of the job; it is
essential to have very good communication skills. Also,
know the duties of PIs. Some of the duties are providing
investigative as well as surveillance services, carrying
out field surveillance, carrying out investigations for
breach of federal and also state laws, participating in
manhunts and searches, preparing records and also
organizing as well as maintaining them, presenting
evidence in a court of law on their client’s behalf and
being able to work closely with the client in order to close
www.sk.com.sg
a case successfully.

23.
You need to acquire special skills by either being trained in a
private detective Singapore college or by a mentor who is a
licensed detective and has years of experience. These special
skills are in knowing how to work efficiently with computers.
You should know how to get information from the internet
either for free or for a fee regarding the suspect’s
whereabouts, their address and also their assets. You should
also know how to get important information useful for the case
from the suspect’s computer and know how to carry out
surveillance using a special computer program.
You can become a PI by getting employed by an investigative
firm that is licensed. Most jurisdictions require that those
employed in licensed investigative firms be registered with a
licensing authority. Once registered by the state, you legally
become recognized as an investigator. You should always
remember that to qualify as a licensed PI, it is mandatory that
you fulfill the different licensing requirements in the jurisdiction
that you plan to work in. www.sk.com.sg

24.
Becoming a PI largely relies on the reputation you
have built for yourself. You need to have performed
well with worthy results and also have testimonials
to back you up. This is because clients will not
solely be convinced by your professional
qualifications. Quite a number of detectives have
clients streaming in as a result of the reputation
they have even though they do not possess
professional qualifications.
If it is mandatory to get an investigator’s license in
your jurisdiction, then you need to apply for one. If
you have no clue on where to get one, the local
police station or even a well established detective
agency could guide you on where to go.
www.sk.com.sg

25.
Investigators have been in this profession for more than
150 years. They are also known as PIs, inquiry agents or
private detectives. A private detective Singapore is a
licensed professional who is hired by corporations,
establishments and the general public to provide them
with investigatory services. There are different types of
investigators who offer different services to their clients.
Whereas some investigators specialize in one area of
investigation, others are trained to offer more than one
service. This also applies to the investigative agencies
with some specializing in certain areas and others having
different detectives specialized in different arenas of this
industry. Some of the most common detective services
you can be provided by an investigative agency are as
discussed below.
www.sk.com.sg

26.
Regardless of the type of investigation, surveillance is a
crucial part of all investigative services or even solutions. This
is quite a good specialty especially for investigators who have
learnt the art of following suspects discreetly without being
caught. Surveillance can be done by one person although
team work in such instances tends to produce better results.
An example of surveillance work is in a case where a PI is
investigating a worker’s comp claim to find out whether or not
it is fraud. The surveillance investigator’s role in this case
would be to determine whether he/ she is in the physical
condition that he/ she is claiming to be in. This can only be
accomplished through close monitoring of the individual at all
times. Surveillance investigators know how to access and
search public records for any leads that could help their
cases. They also have some of the latest and best
surveillance equipment to facilitate the collection of data or
even information. Actually, all investigators irrespective of area
of specialty, must have and know how to use the surveillance
www.sk.com.sg
equipment.

27.
These types of private investigators work just like all the
others, with their work involving surveillance of cases
involving insurers or insurance companies and their clients
who are the beneficiaries. The investigators are charged with
the role of investigating personal or automobile accident
claims that an insurance company is faced with. The PIs will
need to investigate and see if the people involved in accidents
are really as injured as they claim. The PI will also need to
establish if the hurt individual(s) has injuries arising out of a
course covered by the insurance company. For claims
involving fire or theft cases, the detective will need to find out
whether the policyholder was responsible for either the fire or
theft cases and simply wants to rip off the insurance company.
This may involve questioning close friends or people who may
be involved in one way or another, checking their bank
accounts and trying to follow any leads that might be crucial.
There are so many approaches that can be used to find out if
insurance claims are legitimate.
www.sk.com.sg

28.
These investigations cover many different areas.
Detectives in this field can help corporations build up a
defense case on claims of wrongful termination of an
employee. This type of PI can also investigate whether
someone is selling or even compromising the proprietary
information of the company to a rival business. Other
things that could be investigated on in this area are
claims of sexual harassment at the work place, internal
theft by management or staff, piracy and any other
problem that the corporation may have. Whereas some
corporations have corporate detectives working for them
full time to help monitor crimes planned or even
committed against the corporation, others only hire these
professionals when need be.
www.sk.com.sg

29.
These types of detectives are highly qualified
professionals who thoroughly go through all
records of transactions in an establishment to
see if there are malpractices such as siphoning
of company money or whether a department or
branch of the company is operating a Ponzi
scheme. Most forensic investigators specialize
in this area so much is demanded in order for
one to be an expert in this field.
www.sk.com.sg

30.
These are a branch of investigators who in most cases also
double up as a domestic private detective in Singapore. In
some domestic investigations, no court cases are involved.
The clients may just want to know the truth and find closure to
give them the strength, courage and push that they need to
move on or start a new chapter in their lives. Other times,
spouses have court cases and need to find evidence against
their partners in order to win hefty divorce settlements, gain
claim to assets, get alimony or win custody of their child/
children. The civil investigators are required to gather any
useful and incriminating evidence to help their client win the
court case. Other duties that these PIs carry out are defending
lawsuits and investigating a person’s assets, doing
background checks for potential employees; this is however
considered illegal unless the potential employee signs a
release form giving consent for a background check to be
www.sk.com.sg
conducted on them prior to employment.

31.
These PIs deal mainly with database issues. They deal
with absconding debtors who owe money to different
parties. The creditors hire the skip tracing private eye to
track down these debtors. The PIs work is to carry out
surveillance in order to track these individuals down.
Many of the debtors usually owe large sums of money
and when they run away, they may put their bank
accounts in different names, work in places that pay
cash, and not renew their driving license in order not to
be traced. Professional PIs with experience use whatever
means they can to find them, find their location and
addresses and find where they work so they can serve
them with the necessary paperwork to get them to pay off
their debts or report them to the relevant authority.
www.sk.com.sg

32.
These investigators specialize in matters of the law and scene
of crime investigations. The PIs interview suspects, witnesses
and also victims if they are in a position to. The criminal
investigators work on a number of criminal cases such as
murder cases, white-collar crimes, kidnapping, robbery and
any other criminal case. The investigators have to apply
surveillance techniques such as wiretapping, taking
photographs, going undercover and even tracking down
stolen goods in order to get substantial and crucial evidence
that could help bring the case they are investigating to a
close. The work of these investigators also involves analyzing
the information gathered in an attempt to find logical
conclusions. Some criminal investigators may work in the
crime laboratories in order to analyze the evidence collected.
After analyzing, the investigators usually write down detailed
and professional reports and they may later on be required to
present their reports and any other evidence they may be in
possession of in a court of law on behalf of their client.
www.sk.com.sg

33.
www.sk.com.sg

34.
These PIs help lawyers in their defense suits. They
help defense lawyers collect evidence that could help
the lawyers win their court cases. They also serve
court papers, track down key witnesses that may be
missing, testify before a court and even take
photographs as evidence. In addition, the legal
private eye interview potential witnesses, victims
and police to access more information on the same.
They also gather and analyze the evidence collected.
Many of these PIs work for individual lawyers or are
hired by law firms
www.sk.com.sg

35.
They work in hotels, bars, casinos and even stores. Their work
involves keeping the property of guests visiting these
establishments safe. In stores, PIs help curb the vice of shoplifting
and employee theft. The kind of investigators who help in the retail
stores to monitor the place so that those who steal from them can
be caught are known as mystery shoppers. They pose as other
shoppers when in the real sense they are just monitoring the
activities of those doing the real shopping. This allows them to
easily spot those trying to shoplift any items from the store. These
two offenses are very rampant in stores and cause substantial
losses to the owners. In casinos, the PIs help to keep the players’
winnings safe and keep petty thieves away. The investigators are
also tasked with ensuring that the players are not using illegal
means to secure winnings. In bars, the detective private observes
if all transactions are being carried out at the cash register. They
have the authority to apprehend petty thieves and persons trying to
steal from the hotels, bars, casinos and stores. In some of these
establishments they are tasked with preparing the security, prevent
any kind or form of loss and when necessary, testify on their client’s
behalf in a court of law.
www.sk.com.sg

36.
These kinds of detectives deal with marital issues of cheating
spouses. It is no surprise that the number of those seeking
these services is increasing on a daily basis. Due to the
increase in technology and improvement of ways of life,
cheating nowadays take place through various platforms such
as mobile devices and the internet. Use of chat services has
become a very common means of cheaters communicating
with their lovers since unlike other means such as mobile
phones, it is quite difficult for anyone to find evidence left in
the chat programs and unless you are a professional in using
the IT-related programs and hardware. Though, digging for
such information is not as difficult as it might seem. The
investigators dealing with such matters have the relevant skills
and equipment or tools needed in order to access such
services. Apart from finding evidence of cheating in computer
systems, matrimonial investigators also trail the spouses
suspected of cheating and special surveillance equipment
used to collect evidence.
www.sk.com.sg

37.
Though these kind of Singapore private
investigators are few, they do exist. These are
psychics who have real life premonitions of
happenings and in some countries across the globe,
they have been trained to help solve mysterious
crimes by identifying the real culprits.
www.sk.com.sg

38.
Background check investigators assist both
individuals and corporations to find out
information on either a certain individual (s) or
even organization (s). This can be on criminal
backgrounds, financial information and any
other relevant information on the person or
company’s past.
www.sk.com.sg

39.
So many people are victims of various cyber crimes
with the most rampant being identity theft. Though
these investigators have the skills to help curb such
crimes, all detective private professionals are
expected to have some basic knowledge of using
computer systems as the modern world is fast
moving towards computerized processes with
everything going online.
www.sk.com.sg

40.
A private detective regularly faces working conditions that
are very challenging. Some of the challenges are as
follows:
Private detectives’ work can be quite stressful. This is
because their jobs involve long and irregular working
hours, spending a lot of hours outside the office doing
field work and being involved in confrontations regularly.
This kind of lifestyle that always puts the detectives
under pressure may affect their personal lives.
Some investigators such as insurance or fidelity
investigators work primarily outside their offices in very
harsh terrains that have unfavorable weather conditions.
They work for extended hours outdoors when conducting
surveillance. These harsh weather conditions may
negatively affect the ability of the PIs to conduct their
investigations effectively.
www.sk.com.sg

41.
Detectives have the privilege of accessing classified government
information. These detectives also receive training, equipment for
carrying out investigations, vehicles to help them in surveillance and
firearms free of charge. In contrast, it’s illegal for PIs to access
classified government data. Private detectives also have to buy
their own investigative equipment, pay for their training, pay for their
propriety databases and find their own means of transport. Because
of the funding differences, public investigators have an upper hand
when it comes to training and getting highly sophisticated
equipment as compared to the PIs.
Detectives overwork themselves. This is because of the nature of
their work. Their working hours are mainly dictated by the cases
they are working on and their clients. In order to crack a case, they
may be required to work from very early in the morning to very late
at night doing surveillance and undercover work. These extended
hours don’t exempt them from working the following day even
though they may be really exhausted.
www.sk.com.sg

42.
PIs have to go the extra mile and learn a lot about the
legal system even though they may be swamped with
work and exhausted by the long hours they have put in.
This is because, they may at times be required to testify
and present credible and factual information on behalf of
their clients in a court of law.
Large investigation companies have cropped up and do
not have the license requirements. They offer their
services to the public and other establishments as well.
The practice has created a situation whereby, clients do
not receive very good services. This is because these
investigation companies have compromised on the
quality of the services that they are offering. As a result,
quite a number of local investigators are losing their work
as clients become warywww.sk.com.sg
of a private investigator sg.

43.
A number of government regulations such as laws on
audio and also video surveillance have widely affected
investigators and their work. According to some
detectives, these strict regulations are hampering them
from carrying out investigations efficiently. The stringent
laws, according to detectives, have caused them to work
more slowly in solving cases.
TV movies and drama series have given clients
unrealistic expectations of the standards that detectives
are supposed to have. In the real sense, this is
impossible to match up to. It is hard to convince these
clients, who already have an idea of what type of
equipment the PIs should have and how their cases
should be handled, otherwise.
www.sk.com.sg

44.
Times are hard and the economy has been tough for
just about everyone. Some clients expect the
Singapore Private investigator to do his/her job
with less resources and limited funds and still
produce the same quality work and results. In
addition, quite a number of PIs are finding it difficult
to get work regularly. Some are even losing their
clients to larger investigative firms who are able to
offer the same if not better services to clients at
reduced rates. This is due to the fact that these big
firms enjoy economies of scale.

An investigator is a person who possesses
many characteristics. Some of these are
natural while others are acquired through
relevant education. Some things like data
collection and analysis techniques are learnt
from educational institutions while others like
being truthful are natural.
www.sk.com.sg

47.
The personality traits of investigators are the personal
characteristics that an investigator is required to have.
These traits are behavioral and vary from one person to
another
Some of the personality traits that an investigator is
required to have include a positive attitude. A person who
has a positive attitude is always optimistic about his
chances of being successful. A positive attitude shows
the level of confidence that a person has on his or her
job. Therefore, if you want an investigator who can give
you results, you should go for one who is positive. The
other thing that you should look out for is the ability of the
investigator to create good relationships with those that
they come into contact with. This strength is important
because as an investigator, you will need to interact with
various types of peoplewww.sk.com.sg play a big role in
who will
collecting important information for your investigation.

48.
You should also look at the ability of the investigator
to make friends and not enemies. This basically
means that the investigator should be able to relate
well with everyone they come across in a friendly
manner. A private investigator who makes enemies
risks derailing the operation especially if one of the
friends who used to spy for him becomes an enemy.
An investigator must have the ability to control his
emotions. Being able to do this is good as it allows
the investigator to relate well with all those whom
they come across.
www.sk.com.sg

49.
A good investigator should have good observation skills.
This is because observation is the main data collection
method that is used here. The investigator is supposed to
observe the subjects keenly and collect the correct
information which reflects the true situation on the
ground. Since not all the things that an investigator is
supposed to collect can be seen in plain sight, good
observation skills are necessary. The investigator should
also be a person who loves solving puzzles as most of
the work involves complicated operations which requires
good thinking and analysis. He or she should also love
adventures since most of their work involves travelling to
all the destinations that the subject visits. The
investigator must also be a person who is trustworthy
and reports the truth. Being truthful is one of the main
characteristics of this profession as any small lie can lead
to flawed investigationswww.sk.com.sg would be unethical.
and this

50.

qualified investigators are those who have some formal
training in criminal justice or a course that is related to this.
