    Here are the licensing requirements for Pennsylvania.

    • Minimum age: 25
    • Experience Required: 3 years with a P.I. Agency
    • Courses Required: None



    "Within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, there is no central licensing agency. This function is performed by the Clerk of Courts of Common Pleas in each of the sixty-seven (67) counties in the Commonwealth. The application process must be initiated through the county in which you intend to headquarter your operation.

    In the Event that you have any further questions concerning the Private Detective Act, do no hesitate to contact this office by corresponding to this address or telephone Trooper Dennis Plant at (717) 783-5592".

    Question Question on Pennsylvania Licensing

    HELP

    I went to my county D.A.'s office then they directed me to an attorney that they work with. I asked the attorney if I would be allowed to work as a Private Investigator for an agency and he said yes but I would be working for the agency and I couldn't advertise myself as a Private Investigator. Keep in mind I have no background in law enforcement. Next I asked how I could go about getting my license and he said without 3 years in law enforcement I wouldn't be able to. Next I asked if I would be able to get it by working 3 years for an agency and he said flat out "No".

    I'm a little confused I've been reading what's in the forums and I read our Pennsylvania laws for Private investigators. I was just wondering what is correct?

    Will I be able to use the experience I get through IPIU to get my own license after 3 years. Or will I forever have to work for an agency since I was never in law enforcement?

    I look forward to your response.

    Thanks

    Richard,

    Don't take this as a definite answer, but looking through the PA licensing info, I found this:

    " Every such applicant shall establish, to the satisfaction of the court of quarter sessions and by at least two duly acknowledged certificates, that such applicant, if he be a person, or, in the case of a partnership, association, or corporation, at least one member of such partnership, association, or corporation, has been regularly employed as a detective, or sheriff, a member of the Pennsylvania State Police, or a member of a city police department of a rank or grade higher than that of patrolman, for a period of not less than three years. "
    Italics and underline added for emphasis

    This seems to imply that you can attain the three years by working as a detective. This would also seem to agree with most other states statutes that I have reviewed.

    Again, This is not a legally binding answer, but seems plain enough.

    I'm sure Legal will be by with a more thourough reply.

    Thanks you very much.

    Thanks for the quick response. I guess I'll also know more when I get notified by different agents.

    You should be confused if you're taking his advice seriously.

    That was from attorney? I'm glad he's not on my list of referrals! He just does not know the law!

    Read the above post that is quoted from the statutes. After being employed as a private investigator for three years of hours, you get your experience!

    (This sounds like the guy has cops who are friends that are PI's, and they feel competition from you)

    Mary,

    Thank you it's nice to know someone feels the same as me. To be honest I was very disappointed, but then that quick I decided to wait until I checked here on the Forum to see what others had to say.

    I really want this to work out for me so to hear that almost brought me down. But I should have guessed.

    I know I have to get LOTS of training before I even think about getting my license, but it's nice to know it's a reachable goal.

    thank you again!

    Richard,

    Almost every day you will run into a couple of people who will tell you, you can't do something.

    That's where family comes in to support, There are over 3500 bothers and sisters here that will tell you, you CAN do it.

    GO FOR IT!!

    I just wanted to say thank you, to all of you for your help, in the licensing law form. We have had many calls lately concerning this topic. The information that you have all looked into to answer these questions is greatly appropriated.

    PI Licensing in Pa.

    I did contact the Pa. Association for Licensed Investigators. They are not in Harrisburg, Pa. any more. Their new phone number is 1-610-687-2999 in Gladwayne, Pa. The President is Jim Carino. He told me to contact my county clerk office which I did. I recieved a package that is tedious and cumbersome with several fees. Mr. Carino did stated that a person needs 3 yrs. of law enforcement experience and 5 character references. Does my 11 yrs. as a Juvenile Probation Officer count? Also, I am confused about the fingerprinting process. I am already on file with IPIU. Why do I need to pay for additional fingerprints?

    How can you get started in an agency in order to get the three years that is required to become a PI? What training takes place initially? I have read the above comments and they seem to contradict. Do you actually need a state license to practice? Sorry, it's all new to me and I just want to make sure I am taking the right steps. Thanks!

    Ted, yes, your Military Police experience would count, plus any investigative hours of experence through IPIU referrals would count (depending on the agency).

    Read the link Donna Reagan posted in her reply above for the Military Police. Also, read the two posts above by Mary Lynn Warner. IPIU will keep track of your hours of work.

    The hours has to add up to three years. I don't know how many hours, or years you were a Military Police? Both will count. I hope this will help. Good luck in all you do.

    Have a wonderful week. Take care.

    Out of State licensing??

    Does anyone know a short answer to this question: I am relocating to the tri-state area (NY/NJ/CT), but will be living very close to the PA border. Do the individual states require a licensee to be a resident of that particular state? My goal will be to get licenses for NY, NJ & PA.

    Yes and no. Your credentials are not a state license, but they can be used as a professional tool when applying to unregulated companies performing investigations. Regulated companies would either require you to have a state license, or they could allow you to work under their agency license.

    But before you go applying, click here for further instructions:

    Although this item states the House has only referred their bill to the committee, it has not become law. When it does become law, their website will include the amendment.

    The proposed bill does not affect the licensing requirements or the exemptions and provisions of unregulated private investigations. It only addresses a diliberate attempt to impersonate a licensed PI.

    PI said flat out "NO"

    I checked w/ one Pgh, PA agency, and the owner told me, "The DA would not let me hire you to do an investigation." I am untrained and new to the field.

    1) The PI agency owner you spoke to did not give you all of the facts of the licensing laws.

    2) The PI Agency owner's response may be typical because he/she views you as untrained and unqualified. IPIU does not endorse nor recommend going knocking on doors to get hired without experience or training. IPIU offers both before you go knocking on doors. And, IPIU will also provide you with doors that are open and not closed.

    3) The PI Agency owner's statement about his local DA has nothing to do with the owner's ability to hire you within the licensing laws. I suspect he/she probably made that statement to you as a tactic to get you out the door (or off the phone).

    Hi ... I'm new the fourm and to the IPIU but I've noticed several consistancies between this and other career paths. Remember that it is human nature for others to want you to quit or fail, that way you never provide them with competition. The thing you need to do is keep working toward your goals. If you persist you will succeed.

    I'm a member in training and i'm just going around and reading stuff and when i read when you said that here are 3500 men and woman who are family that felt good. I'm in the proccess of moving and haven't had much time to do what i need to do but when i get settled in little by little i will post and participate alot more plus i'm going to be a dad.

    thanks Carl Violando

    Hello Lance,
    I have to agree with Mr. Copeland on this issue. The PI's statement to you was his way of brushing you off as you had nothing to offer when you came to the table.
    PI Agency's do hire Training PI's. My company does but you must have some basic Training when you apply with us. IPIU provides you with the training you will need to get your foot in the door instead of the door slamming in your face. MY advise to you is get the training learn all you can knowledge is your best tool in this business, you will always be learning.

    Regards,
    David

    B Ann,
    I have been reading all these post on the Pennsylvania requirements and now know if one is not prior law enforcement, the requirement is 3 years of hours working with an agency. Could you clarify what is meant by "The hours has to add up to three years". My questions are, How many hours are considered for a year, the normal 2080 ? and is it reasonable to expect to get enough assignments to work 3 years and have enough hours?

    Thanks - Steve

    Good question Steven, I have been wondering, also, about the hours worked through IPIU Anti-Piracy and Integrity assignments.

    Do the hours worked on these types of assignments become credited towards licensing in PA?

    Pete.

    • Experience Required: 3 years with a P.I. Agency
    • Courses Required: None


    PERFECT! Exactly the information I was looking for! I'm only 22 so this works pretty well (3 years experience, min. age 25)! I'm so excited!

    OH, Also quick question and I know this is a long-shot BUT I've heard (and this may not even be true) that the FBI will take a 2 year degree in computer forensics because it is a specialty field (instead of the required 4 year). The computer forensics degree requires several law classes. Does any of this go against the 3 year rule? I know this is very unlikely but I figured I'd ask just in case.

    My question is: If I am not have all of the requirements above, I'll never be a Professional Private Investigator.
