The origins of Private Investigating date back THOUSANDS of years. As long as men (and women) have been keeping secrets, other men and women have been trying to uncover them through various techniques. The modern private investigation agency, however, has Eugene Francois Vidocq to thank for its existence. Eugene was a French soldier and…a criminal. He put together a team of men from various backgrounds (soldiers, law enforcement among them) and open a PI agency. He also pioneered several investigating techniques that are still in use today. But the world of sleuthing has come along way since those days in the early 1800’s.
Today, private investigators have access to the most up to date technology and their ability to collect clues and information and solve crimes, locate individuals, etc. has never been as effective as it is today. And the process has gotten even more efficient in Ireland through the passing of the Private Security and Services act in 2004. That, coupled with the 2015 enforcement that ensured all Private Investigators must be licensed and regulated, the industry has become honed and incredibly efficient. While these recent developments give one faith in the hiring of a PI, there are quite a few benefits to the average citizen that make hiring one an incredibly wise decision.
Here are the top 3 benefits of hiring a Private Investigator in Ireland:
- Stress relief-Hiring a private investigator can bring about a huge amount of stress relief. When you are dealing with an issue such as an unsolved crime, a possible cheating spouse, etc., that thing can weigh on your mind 24-7. When you hire a qualified private in investigator to handle your case, you can oftentimes feel the “weight” being lifted, knowing that you have the situation well under control. Let the PI do the work of solving the case while you go about the rest of your life’s duties.
- Financial-While yes, it does cost to hire a PI, oftentimes, the amount of money SAVED by doing so is enormous. In the cases of embezzlement, robbery and the like, a qualified personal investigator can uncover evidence that will result in your getting back huge sums of money, thereby covering the cost of hiring the PI many, many times over.
- Closure-While the outcome of a private investigation may not always be a positive one, finding out the truth of a matter once and for all can provide closure in many instances. For example, no one wants to discover that their spouse has been cheating on them, but if, through hiring a private investigator, this is what you discover, it can be a healthy thing to get to the truth, take action and move on.
Considering the multitude of variables that exist in all types of cases, there are certainly more than 3 benefits to hiring a Private Investigator but the above will apply in almost all cases. If there is a mystery to be solved, a person to be found, or a misdeed that needs uncovering, hiring a Private Investigator may be your best, and ONLY course of action.
