How To Become A Private Detective Richland

By Paul Ward


Whether desiring to become a private investigator or police officer, there is often a great deal of training. While training as a private detective Richland is most likely easier than attending the police academy, both have certain requirements. When it comes to serving Richland WA, individuals must obtain licensing and certification upon completing a training course.

In most cases, these individuals investigate a number of different issues related to wrong doing, most often those which involve a criminal element. There are also investigators who work directly with patrons of the public. Most often, individuals hiring a private eye, or PI are looking for proof of some type of wrong doing with relation to a partner, wife or business associate.

A private security service provides registration, licensing and certification for the industry. When it comes to this industry, there are a number of different types of registration. Each of these aspects and requirements are defined by a Washington State code related to this type business.

The licenses and registration available in the state of Washington include one to become an armed or unarmed investigator, a trainer and one for those wishing to open an private investigative agency. In Washington, individuals looking to work in any of these areas must be licensed and registered before providing service to city and state officials or the public.

To obtain a license, individuals must meet basic eligibility requirements. After which, the individual must make application with a private investigation service which provides licensing and registration. Then, the applicant must complete the state licensing application, pay a nominal fee and complete a state exam. It should be noted that this fee is non-refundable whether or not one completes the application process and becomes licensed as a PI.

Most often these eligibility requirements are the same across state lines. Individuals seeking permits for this type work must be a U. S. Citizen or legal alien, be 18 years of age and having completing all training requirements. At times, entry level training can be waived if the individual has previous training as a guard, escort or other security personnel. Once these requirements have been met, the individual can move forward and take the state exam.

In most areas, becoming this type investigator requires at least 60 hours of basic training in law enforcement. While this training does not last nearly as long as a stint in the police academy, many still have issues completing the training and passing the exam. As such, only those with the strongest will and desire to become involved in this type work generally pass the test.

When all training is completed, individuals must then provide the application and all other required documentation to the supporting agency. In cases where individuals will be carrying weapons, there may be additional applications and forms required. As such, to avoid having to pay multiple application fees, it is best to assure that all documentation is complete before submission.
