A private detective agency is a company or organisation who undertakes investigations for members of the public and other organisations. Detective and security agencies have been in operation for many years with the most famous being the Pinkerton National Detective Agency of America, who’s leader Allan Pinkerton became famous for foiling a plot to assassinate the President Abraham Lincoln. His agency became very well known throughout the United States for their work in security and when hired as a military contractor, they had more men that the actual national Army during their hay day.
Today’s average private detective agency won’t be foiling plots to assassinate Tony Blair or bringing down the Molly Maguire’s but detective agencies are enjoying a fruitful period in the new century. Think tanks put this down to the general publics disillusion with the law and the powers the police have, many feel that there is nothing the police can do to gather evidence against wrong doers and therefore take steps to combat criminals themselves, step in the Private Eye. A private detective agency can set up surveillance, check finger prints and find out information about people and organisations that you want to know about, anywhere in the world, these are things that the local bobby doesn’t do which can lead to conviction.
A Private Detective Agency charge for their services as they are a private company, some work on an hourly rate with extras depending on the type of investigation needed and others will charge a set fee after reviewing the information you already have.
