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.

>> Private Investigator Standards of Practice & Ethics
Understand the importance of standards of practice, and related ethics, in protecting yourself, your agency, and your
client – as well as our profession.
Standards of practice, and related ethics, are essential business protections and are often required in licensing
programs, association memberships, and certification processes. Although these may vary, the guidance provided here
is fairly universal and standard. are professional standards that investigators must follow, particularly if retained by an
attorney as their agent. A violation of ethics can be 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.
