Associates in Forensic Investigations - Agency Standards of Practice and Ethics
The issuance of a license does not provide assurance to a client of the experience and services of the investigator. The
basics to assurance are: 1) Licensed in the state or jurisdiction in which you are operating (if applicable); 2) Have a
permitted or otherwise lawful purpose; 3) Your activity must be lawful; and 4) Your activity and purpose must be ethical.

This Month:
>> PI, Attorney and Client Relationship Ethics
Understand the ethics of private investigations - as an investigator, consumer or client.
Ethics are professional standards that investigators must follow, particularly if retained by an attorney as their agent. A
violation of ethics can harmful to a case or relationship, even professional licensure can be disciplined for a violation. For
these reasons, it is important that all parties to the relationship are made aware of these ethics and are guided by them.
Ethics serve both professional and consumer protection. Only facts obtained ethically can be evidence - facts without
ethics is not evidence.
