Available Regions

The group is made up of licensed agents, each agent covers a particular area or region depending on what back office support or experience they may have (if any). Usually new agents that are unskilled will be allocated an "Area" and often experienced agents will be allocated an area or region.

An Area consists of a large town or group of towns where as a region could be made up of several conunties.

When an area or region has been allocated, no other agents can fulfill this position, one agent per area or region is allowed only as not to compete with each other under the same organisation.

A region is more likely to be awarded to an agent if they are familiar with that area and have been resident in the locality for some considerable time.

When making contact it is important that you state you desired area/region as early as possible.

The role of a Private Investigator One thing's for sure, no two days will ever be the same So what does a Private Investigator get up to in his or her day. There are many interpretations of what Professional Private Investigators duties are, in fact the services offered are very broad and dependent on each individual, their knowledge and their skills. Some choose to specialise in one are, such as tracing (searching for missing persons or finding the beneficiary of a will) others choose to venture into Process Serving (Serving of court papers) as their main source of activity whilst many will choose to practice all the services offered by a professional private investigator such as: Matrimonial Investigation Surveillance GPS Tracking Fraud Investigations Commercial Investigations Background Reports Repossessions Tracing Employee Integrity Process Serving Forensics For a full list click here With this much offering it is no wonder then that being a private investigator has so much to offer, so much diversity and excitement. You never know what your next instruction or enquiry will be. It is said that the "bread and butter" of private investigation work is Process Serving, this is because this work is more readily available. With solicitors and indeed private clients requiring these documents served on a daily, weekly, monthly basis it offers a good steady source of income. The work itself isn't too demanding either, aside the fact that you will need comprehensive knowledge of the system it often requires nothing more than to visit a residential or commercial address and hand the documents to the respondent. However, depending on how you promote and market yourself you could specialise in just one area, either because you feel it is profitable or because it means you can keep your overheads at a minimum (such as tracing work) which more often than not, can be mainly carried out using desktop searching using many various databases. Obviously this has it's downside, by restricting yourself to just specialising in one or two subjects you are narrowing your income potential, not to mention the fact that it can become very mundane and monotonous. Typical day in the life of a private investigator A day in the life of a private investigator is so varied it is virtually impossible to to give anyone an overight of what the role entails from just an account of one day. However, in order to demonstrate some of the work you will be carrying out here is a taste of what an average private investigator gets up to. ..................................................................................................................................................................................... Monday 07.00: Check emails. print off paperwork and organise folder for the day. Check addresses and ensure I have everything I need, camera, forms, case notes etc. Check again! Monday 09.00: Set office phone to divert all calls to mobile. Monday 09.45: Statement to be taken from a witness to a road traffic accident involving a cyclist Monday 12.00: Locus report to be carried out at the scene of the accident. Pictures measurements and diagrams need to be collated and a full report drawn up. Monday 13.15: Lunch - A private investigator has to eat! Monday 15.00: Serve bankruptcy petition on a director at a business premises (should be straight forward) Monday 16.30: Back to the office. Write up reports on witness statement and locus. Affidavit to be drawn up from successful serve at business premises on director. Monday 19.00: Put feet up! (or you could spend an hour marketing your business online!) Whilst you can see from the above this is an example of a busier day, although typical of the work a private investigator does, you will also notice that it is definately not a 9 - 5 job. There will be ocassions when you may be on surveillance for 12 hours constantly or longer! Other times you may have little on, in which case you would concentrate on promoting and marketing your business and using our proven techniques to attract more clients. However way you look at it, the role of a private investigator is intriguing, exciting and above all you have the freedom that you don't have working for someone. You are your own boss and you can earn as much or as little as you like* *Providing you reach the minimum required threshold. ©Seagal Investigations Group a trading name of Seagal Investigations Ltd Designated trademarks and brands are the property of their respective owners Privacy policy - Disclaimer Home \| About \| Training \| Role of a PI \| Expected Income \| Regions \| Support \| Application \| Contact	Featured Questions How much can I earn?
