The word private in private investigator throws a lot of people off. Most people assume private means we hide in the bushes and sneak around. That might be true but, that is not why we are called private investigators.
Private investigators are called such because we work for the "private sector". Meaning we work for private citizens or businesses that hire us for a particular investigation. Police and government officials are called public officers. A cop is a public investigator because he serves everyone equally and is paid by the government.
Why do people need us? Well, public officials are not as good as those of us who are paid to investigate. Private investigators have the ability to specialize in one niche of investigation, becoming highly experienced.
Let's use the example of a missing person investigation. The local cops and FBI might get involved but what about the other cases they are currently working? You see, resources eventually run out. Once all leads are exhausted and a few days go by the public servants that were working the case become tired. Then a new case arrives and they wisk away to that case.
A private investigator can devote his full attention and resources to your specific case. A PI on a missing person case can pull in a lot of resources gather great evidence and specific facts. PI's are less intimidating than the law so people will give out information that they were afraid to give to the police. A PI has powerful resources in his toolbox and working together with law enforcement could greatly increase the chances of finding that loved one.
People call on private investigators when other options run out. Most of the time, through networks, we can get any information you may need.
