Investigation

This division of the Security Industry covers investigative activities of all types. Four subcategories have been created to assist visitors in locating information from the websites of Licensed Private Investigators, International Investigators, Process Servers, and Public Records Research Firms. For your protection, before hiring any prospective agency to undertake an investigation on your behalf, you should verify their credentials, experience, license, insurance and bond. Government agencies that serve an investigative function are located elsewhere in the Open Directory.

Investigators

This category is reserved for private investigators and detective agencies. It is meant to distinguish between websites for investigators, and those of information brokers such as public records research firms, skip-tracers, cross reference directory providers, and the like.
