Description of Private Investigations in Charleston


Charleston Private Investigator

A Private Investigator in Charleston must apply to the West Virginia Secretary of State and pass licensing requirements, including a thorough background check. While many Investigators in Charleston come from a law enforcement or military background, it is not a requirement for employment as a PI in West Virginia. Often times, a degree in Criminal Justice or other security and investigation work can be just as important to prospective employers.

Iit is against the law to provide any Private Investigative services in Charleston without a West Virginia Private Investigator License. You can rest assured that any Charleston Private Investigator assigned to your case with ICS has the experience and mentality to get you the results you are looking for.
