And...

A private investigation can have life-altering effects, so it is important to choose only a trained & qualified investigative professional correct for your needs.

Internet searches only reveal what the advertisers want you to know. Paying $$$ to some referral services typically only gets you a call from the sole investigator they can find in your area -- leaving you NO CHOICE as to another investigator and no refund if you aren’t comfortable with THEIR choice. And some 'investigators for hire' sites allow anyone with a credit card to pay to be listed, with absolutely NO verification as to what their advertisers are claiming.

We fully pre-screen all members before they can receive a referral AND we can do a follow-up contact with you to verify that the investigation was handled to profession standards.

Before receiving a referral, our members have already provided us with copies of any/all required & related documents:  certifications - basic training – special training - licensing – insurance – report samples – equipment ownership & proficiency - and more. Male and female professionals are available for most languages and cultures, and for all types of investigations.

With our database of available professionals, let us direct you to those who are correct for your specific needs -- no charge to the public for the referral!

An important mission - to continually & affordably improve the knowledge, work-product and income of investigators nationwide. Membership is available to most qualified investigative professionals in every state.

thePIgroup provides private investigators with referrals, a world-wide Internet member-to-members communication listserve, daily PI news, the latest information and techniques, trends and advancements, certification testing such as the comprehensive CMI: Certified Master Investigator, and affordable continuing education, that could give you a competitive edge in the professions.

Sponsoring dozens of highly-promoted referral websites and many other types of advertising, thePIgroup invests more funds every month to obtain work for its members than ALL state & national PI associations added together do in a year (in fact, virtually no other investigative organization does ANY active work-obtaining for its members!) Our websites typically receive more than 4000 requests per year for services.

Larger and more powerful than any PI 'association', more members than all state PI associations combined, there are no self-serving requirements. While many new PI 'groups' & 'directories' start every year and most eventually disappear, thePIgroup continues to grow every year since being established in 1978. No 'BS', 'chit-chat', or 'drama': PI business only!
