Lincoln Private Investigator

With a population of just under 3 million people, the State of Mississippi averages 32.95 annual crimes reported per 1,000 residents. Of those, 2.7 are violent crimes (well below the 3.9 national median), while the other 30.25 are property crimes (slightly above the 29.1 national median). The city of Jackson, however, has crime rates that are substantially higher than the national medians, and is rated safer than only 2% of U.S. cities. Violent crimes are committed at a staggering 9.25 reports per 1,000 residents, while property crimes are even more prolific at 73.82 per 1,000 residents. With a population of only 175,000 people, these numbers indicate a dire need for crime prevention and law enforcement. Local law enforcement agencies do not have the resources to keep up with such high levels of crime, which creates a need for private investigators who can dedicate their time and money to solving complex and difficult crimes.

The State of Mississippi does not require private investigators to be licensed under any regulatory body, nor does any statute govern their activities explicitly. Because the State does not regulate investigators, it is even more important that you enlist the help of a reputable and established private investigation firm such as ICS to handle your case.
