My personal opinion is that most law enforcement agencies don't like PI's, for the statue that we provide. Every law enforcement agency feels that we are trying to do their job. Instead of working with us they work against us this creates tension. Most PI's are at most better investigators that law enforcement, because we care "no politic's". We are just as professional as any law enforcement detectives and they fill threatened. Don't get me wrong we are not tied by politics but we are tied by law enforcement themselves. I am working on a murder case that is 25 years old and the family hired me to get results and signed release forms and they still will not give me the case information. I am having to go to a judge to get it released. Even with authorization from the family, the police is still giving me trouble. Cover up maybe or just bad results and hiding it, don't know. Until we start working together we will not be able to really help the general public with problems.
