Professional investigator associations work towards bettering the detective profession, lobbying for political aspirations, monitoring relevant legislation and providing support services for their members.

This guide provides a comprehensive listing of national level private investigation organizations, as well as related trade associations for sub-sectors of the detective vocation.

US Private Investigator Associations Members

Joining a national private investigation association is always advisable for any working detective. These groups are very useful for making industry connections and keeping up with all the latest news, equipment, tactics and newsworthy topics from around the country. Members must prove that they are indeed professional investigators and are qualified to work in their particular area of the country. Some groups have far more stringent membership requirements than others.

There are a few main organizations which are well known and well respected by investigators worldwide. However, some smaller groups are obviously simply extensions of a particular investigator’s plan for financial success, charging high fees and providing no tangible benefits for members. Make sure to research any particular organization before joining, to ensure satisfaction with your choice.
