Florida Private Investigator

Florida Private Investigator

A private investigator in Florida must apply to the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services and pass licensing requirements, including a thorough background check. While many Florida private investigators come from a law enforcement or military background, it is not a requirement for employment as a private investigator. Often times a degree in Criminal Justice or other security and investigation work can be just as important to prospective employers.

In Florida, private investigators and private investigative agencies are considered to serve in positions of trust. Untrained or unlicensed persons or businesses, or persons not of good moral character, pose a threat to the public safety and welfare of Florida residents. For this reason, the private investigative industry is regulated in the State of Florida to ensure the interests of the public are adequately served and protected. You can rest assured that any Florida private investigator assigned to your case with ICS is fully licensed and insured in accordance with Florida State laws and participates in the required continuing education.

Private Investigation in Florida

Florida has the fourth highest state population in the United States, with over 18 million residents. Florida is home to some of the United States most well known cities, such as: Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville and more. The capitol of Florida is Tallahassee, while the largest population is in the city of Jacksonville and the largest and most influential business district is in Miami. Florida is almost completely surrounded by water, whether the Atlantic Ocean or the Gulf of Mexico, and has a tropical climate. Florida is serviced by major airports, including the Orlando International Airport, the Miami International Airport, the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, the Tampa International Airport and many smaller airports.

Florida is nicknamed the "Sunshine State", but this name can be misleading. Florida has the highest average precipitation of any state in the United States and is frequently hit by severe weather. Central Florida experiences more lightning strikes than anywhere else in the country and the entire state is subject to thunderstorms and hurricanes from collision of air from the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico. However, in stark contrast to these thunderstorms are the sunny beaches that exist all along the coast of Florida.

Florida's main source of revenue is the tourism industry, pushing Florida into the fourth largest economy by GDP for the United States. Attractions like Walt Disney World, Universal Studios and other amusement parks, in addition to the beautiful beaches bring in tourists from all over the world. Florida's second largest source of revenue is the agriculture industry, especially citrus fruit like oranges. Aside from parks and oranges, Florida is also known for the Everglades and NASA's Kennedy Space Center.
