This isn’t your average desk job - being a Private Investigator means you’ll have a career with excitement, travel, autonomy, and purpose.

Work Schedule: Full-time, 40-55 hours per week average, 10-11 hours per day average, depending on travel distance to the case and back to your home (commute time in the company vehicle is "on the clock")

  • Professional, hands-on training program developed over the course of 20 years
  • Quarterly team-building events and comradery with fellow team members

Long Term Career in Private Investigation

  • ATF / US Border Patrol / State Crime Lab
  • Law / Paralegal / Legal Assistant
