    I've spent quite a bit of time searching various threads & am still a bit confused on the relationship between having a IPIU union plan membership and the Level 1 through Level 4 access system.
    ANSWER:

    Licensed Private Investigators:

    1. Licensed Private Investigators only choose an annual union plan or membership.

    2. After they post their agreement to their Oath & Code of Ethics on the forum, they get immediate Level 4 access to all union benefits and job areas.

    Unlicensed Private Investigators (with the exception of sworn law enforcement officers and licensed attorneys) have to:

    1. Request their union Private Investigator Photo Credentials, which includes screening, photos, and other documents that are mailed, and post their agreement to their Oath & Code of Ethics.

    2. Choose a union plan (or membership), which includes a free PI Training Manual and online test.

    3. After they pass the online test, they gain Level 4 access to all benefits and jobs.

    4. Total time for both photo credentials PLUS union plan and test can be 3-4 weeks depending on whether or not the new member uses postal mail or online or credit card purchase.

    Thanks
    Shirley
    To follow up on another answer with more clarity:

    1) If a licensed PI applies for membership, he does not need the union Private Investigator Photo Credentials (although it is available to licensed PI's as an additional photo ID).

    2) If a union member is not a licensed PI, then they can either obtain their state license or they can apply for the union Private Investigator Photo-Credentials by going to the following link:

    REQUEST your Private Investigator Photo Credentials Topic




    Summary:

    IPIU was founded in 1989 for licensed private investigators. All they had to do was choose a union membership plan, and nothing else.

    Later, IPIU changed its by-laws to allow unlicensed members if they would apply for the union's Private Investigator Photo-Credentials (which includes a criminal records registration, fingerprints, and photos).

    Therefore, for licensed PI's there is only one item to request (a union membership plan). For unlicensed PI's, there is one extra item.

    Nevertheless, after the first year ALL union members who renew just have the single union membership plan to choose. The photo credentials are included at no further cost on renewals.

    Quote Originally Posted by Rafael J Ramos

    ANSWER:

    Rafael, if an applicant has a State PI License, then all they do is choose a union membership plan from the above list, which is good for a whole year.

    If an applicant does not have a State PI License then they can request the union license (the IPIU Photo Credentials) to be issued in their name and is honored by all union agencies and companies, as well as others who require a 3rd party ID. Once an applicant requests the union Photo ID, it is good for life as long as they maintain their membership.

    If you have not chosen your union plan, you can do so now by clicking on the secured link. It will save you a month in remaining processing.

    Rosana, private investigators who join the union only pay their annual union dues (which is only one payment that can be as low as $99 a year). All that is required is proof of either a state issued PI License or some other form of photo ID that monitors your professional conduct while performing assignments.

    If you do not have a state issued PI License, then you can request the union's license (the IPIU Private Investigator Photo Credentials) to be issued in your name for a lifetime amount of $89.25. If that is what you requested, then IPIU would bill you for the union plan of your choosing.

    Now that you have your credentials, they are good for a lifetime (as long as you retain your union affiliation in good standing).

    Is it worth it?

    IPIU's integrity and references since 1989:

    As of the date of this post, we have over 50,000 fraternal union members worldwide, many of which are active and retired federal, state, and local law enforcement officers who also perform private investigations.

    Again, since IPIU was founded as a non-profit union association in 1989, there has never been a single record of any complaint against IPIU or its officers or its board of directors by any federal, state or local government authority or attorney general.

    The only item in over seventeen years of serving tens of thousands of private investigators were three (3) courtesy refunds through the BBB in all that time, which were all resolved. Of the remaining faithful 50,000+ members, they have posted their IPIU actual experiences on our public website using their real first and last names, and real locations at the following public link:

    http://www.ipiu.org/forums/forumdisp...aysprune=&f=48.

    There are, however, additional options for undercover operatives, law enforcement, or government employees who can choose to request a user name change after we verify their true credentials.

    Don Merritt, our 1995-2005 union president is also a speech writer for President Bush. IPIU is certainly not without its fair share of critics, but some have been seen as politically motivated because of what Mr. Merritt does for President Bush, even though his work for the White House has no conflict-of-interest with the affairs of the International Private Investigators Union, which is not a political union.

    If after reading the above links and factual items you find any internet links to legitimate law enforcement or government sites that raise concerns, please email them to legal.affairs@ipiu.org so that they can see what the issue is, or to determine if it is just a fictional opinion.

    And last, if you have an approved User Name and passcode, then you already agreed to the following Oath, Code of Ethics, and Mission Statement::

Always wanted to do some type of law enforcement. I heard great things about IPIU an they have all been true. On that note i really want to get my career going as a PI an making some money. What plan would be best for me? Thanks everyone for being so kind an helpful.
    The short answer is to invest the extra $49 for a Management Plan, because the early-bird renewal next year is the same as the Economy Plan! That way you save $50 on all the renewals, but you get the benefits of the Management Plan.

    No, as long as you have either a previous issued PI Union Credential ID or a state license. If not, then you can request the one-time PI Union Credential ID now.
    Quote Originally Posted by Carl Scheck View Post

    No. You have to approve any second charge.

    Or, go to the following link to request it:
    http://www.privateinvestigators.cc/index.php?cPath=81

    Then next year, the ID is free when you renew.

    (Please read the other posts above where this question was asked before).

    Or, call 800-548-1526 during the day and they will handle i over the phone for you.

    Re: Seven (7) PI Union Memberships!

    I am on my 2nd year in the IPIU Management Union Plan. I made ten times (10x's) my union dues during my first year, and I am looking to do more on my second year.

    It depends on the individual as to what union plan you choose, but personally I think the Professional Management Union Plan is well worth the extra $49 with all the freebies.

    Just my thoughts. Good luck everybody.

    Re: Seven (7) PI Union Memberships!

    I had joined IPIU back in 2003, but the Police Department I was with said it was a conflict of interest to be a private investigator. So I did not pick a membership plan at that time.

    I just rejoined today and I picked the Professional Management Plan, plus I recruited a few friends. I hope they become members.



    Update:
    I just upgraded to a Lifetime Professional Management Member. No more fees!

    Plus, I purchased my own PI Agency Corporation License through IPIU - which does not require any previous experience as a private investigator!

    Some new options have been posted in the following link:
    http://www.privateinvestigators.cc/index.php?cPath=67

    You will see the economy starts at $99 a year, while the Management is the best value for the extra $50 the first year. Both will renew the following year as low as $99, which makes the management the best.

    Or, you can choose the first year packages at $189 and $238. After the first year, they too can be renewed as low as $99, which makes them more valuable.

    And last, we now have a Lifetime Professional Plan available at $699, with monthly payments available for 5 months if you prefer.

    Donald, if you are one of the owners (corporate officer), then your union membership and any other corporate officer or partner would be included in the choosing of one (1) agency membership.

    If your other two (2) investigators are pay-rolled employees (not independent contractors), then they would be included for free with the agency membership. If they are independent contractors, then they would be treated as a separate membership (either the standard Economy or standard Management).

    Your choices for agency memberships:


    The lifetime union plan is new, and some payment arrangements can be made with the office if need be. But I think the lifetime union plans will offer members and agencies the greatest recognition we have ever seen in the last 19 years. Currently, we only have a selected amount of lifetime members out of the 50,000 we have served.

    Or, you could choose the management agency plan too, especially if you wish to get your agency web site going.

    Quote Originally Posted by Donald Crews View Post

    Any agency plan would include separate passcodes and log in names for employee investigators.

    All agency plans come with one (1) free PI Union Photo Credentials. Additional IDs are $49.99 for the first year, less when renewed (unless the agency plan is a lifetime where the IDs are lifetime).

    You can also call Tim at 800-548-1526 from 8AM to 430PM Mountain Time.

    Quick question , sort of new to all this as well and hopefully will be getting the management plan off the bat , come Wed. If we are new to this biz , is it wise to print biz cards from the start ?? In other words is it legal if we are interns / trainee just starting into this ??

    I am trying to understand the memberships, please tell me if I am correct on any of this.
    Once you register on new members forum, you automatically get Level 1 access, and in order to move to the next level which is Level 2 you have to choose a plan; is this correct?

    Yes.

    For new members with a state issue PI License, they can choose any of the 7 plans. As soon as their license is verfied, they go right to Level 4.

    For new members without a state issued PI License, they can ADD to their union plan the PI Union License (which is a one-time amount to set up and is free every year when they renew their plan on time. For these members, they can go to Level 2 and 3 pending the paperwork completion before going to Level 4.

    Remember, some plans include the PI Union License.

    My agency co owned between myself and my partner. If we were to purchase the Agency Management Membership, would we both receive the Management Membership as owners or only one of us?

    The standard Agency Membership at $150 is for all waged employees at the same office. The benefits are the same as the personal Economy Plan.

    What is not listed is the Agency Professional Plan at $199.99 the first year, and less for renewals. Includes all employees and partners of record.

    To order, first purchase the following:
    http://www.privateinvestigators.cc/p...oducts_id=1001

    Then include a note you wish to upgrade to Professional foir the extra $49.99

    Better, would be the Lifetime Professional Plan at $699.99 (with no renewals due).

    Go here:
    http://www.privateinvestigators.cc/p...oducts_id=1400

    Or, monthly payments are here:

    Theresa, you were given Level 3 and Level 4 Instructions for your Benefits already. Return to your official introduction topic titled "Theresa Cote" and follow the benefits link given to you for ordering your business cards. (This topic you posted in is not the correct topic)

    Bruce,

    I didn't see your post until today... you've posted your question in the wrong topic and forum...

    You already have level 4 access to the sign up area of Federal Anti-Piracy assignments. You've already signed up in the past... you're on the way to get trained and certified if you complete these assignments, send in your documentation as requested, follow the instructions, etc.

    Look for an invite to complete per email...

    Now, this topic here is for union memberships and not for questions on assignments. Click here and you can see questions and answers like yours... http://www.ipiu.org/forums/forumdisp...signment-Forum

    Also, did you see the links that Tim provided you with here?
    http://www.ipiu.org/forums/showthrea...ht=#post461269

    Talk to you soon. Good luck.

    If you have never posted in the wrong place, you have not been responding to issues or delving into them. We all have an oops when we are seriouslyh trying to find information.

    I've looked into taking some extra classes to further pursue in getting a local Georgia license.
