Where does IPIU Refer You as a Private Investigator Trainee?
ANSWER:
Private Investigator Trainees are referred to our jobposting and agency forums and are encouraged to apply for assignments within a 45 minute drive-time from their nearest county courthouse.
The county records of your courthouse is the center
of all civil and criminal records for your area,
and at times a pre-investigation for the agency client
may require you to pull record copies.
In general, you are not required to travel further
than a 45 minute drive. If an assignment requires
any unreasonable travel, then auto expenses can be
added to your earnings.
If there is an assignment which exceeds the 45
minute drive time, you have the option of turning
down that particular assignment.
Sometimes a nearby private investigator in a neighboring
county is unavailable. Your agency may contact you
to see if you are willing to take on the assignment.
If so, consider how many hours the assignment will
total, times your hourly rate. And then determine
if your net earnings after travel and dead-time is
worth the assignment. Many agency managers will offer
extra pay to offset dead-time and expenses.
Hopefully this will answer some questions to new
private investigator members of IPIU.
