Frequently Asked Questions

What services does Maryland's leading private detective offer for search and locate cases?
We provide a comprehensive range of services for search and locate cases, including locating missing persons, finding lost assets, and tracing individuals for family reunification or legal matters. Our investigators use advanced techniques — database searches, surveillance, and interviews — combined with traditional methods to deliver accurate results, even when subjects are intentionally difficult to find.
How does a private investigator differ from a police detective?
A police detective works within a law enforcement agency, focuses on solving crimes, and has authority to make arrests. A private investigator operates independently, is hired by individuals, attorneys, or businesses, and conducts investigations that may not involve criminal activity. PIs gather information and evidence lawfully but do not have police authority.
What qualifications are required to become a private detective in Maryland?
Maryland private detectives must obtain a state license. Backgrounds in law enforcement or related fields are common, and while a degree in criminal justice is not mandatory, it provides a strong foundation. Practical experience and state-specific licensing requirements are the key qualifications. Our entire team is fully licensed under Maryland state law.
