Private Investigations
Private investigators have existed for more than 150 years. The first known private detective agency opened in France in 1833. In 1850, Allan Pinkerton formed Pinkerton National Detective Agency, which grew into one of the most famous detective agencies in the United States.

The Pinkerton Agency became notorious for breaking strikes, but it also made several contributions to the fields of law enforcement and investigation. The agency takes credit for the concept of the mug shot, and the term “private eye” came from the original Pinkerton logo.

Today, about a quarter of the private investigators in the United States are self-employed. Out of those who are not self-employed, about a quarter work for detective agencies and security services [source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics]. The rest of them work for financial institutions, credit collection services, and other businesses.

Many investigators choose to focus on a specific field of investigation based on their background and training. For example, someone with a degree in business might become a corporate investigator. An investigator with a background in patents and trademarks might focus on intellectual property theft.
