Private Investigator Training

I don't believe it. You can buy these for $16.95 - $149.00, no questions asked. These fake ID's are as PLASTIC as the Wankers who own them!

I can't think of a better way for easily influenced young people to have themselves, jailed. injured or killed than to carry one of these Private Investigator Badges around.

Over the past seven years I have invested over five million dollars into raising the standard of professionalism in training within the Australian Private Investigation Industry. With one $149.00 badge everything that I have aimed for and achieved plus many others like me with similar investments in quality professional development, could be destroyed by one misguided, misinformed dangerous individual with a Private Investigator Badge.

A Licensed Private Investigator has no powers to direct a person to do anything or elicit any information, obtain any information or attempt to obtain any information by misrepresentation, offer, threat, implied threat, inducement or reward.
A Licensed Private Investigator cannot and does not imply that s/he has any police power, government authorization or capability to coerce a person into cooperating with them on any matter.

If you as a Licensed Private Investigator acting on behalf of a client ever pulled out a badge in an attempt to intimidate, impress or deceive a member of the public, an insured, a claimant, a court or a subject there would be swift and serious consequences for you personally from your client. Plus equally serious consequences for the organisation that trained you, and issued your qualification in order for you to become licensed. That organisation should be shut down, and fined on top of the serious risk to your employment, career and possible liberty."

You are not a police officer, you are not an interrogator, you do not carry weapons, handcuffs, stun guns, smoke bombs or look at me badges. If you mistakenly showed that badge in the wrong company, or to a person who has something to lose, you or some one you love associated with you, could be killed or seriously injured. Just consider where you live and how vulnerable you are?

Badges were once issued to PIs in NSW and Victoria. I have seen two of them, owned by professional PI's fortunately the practice stopped for safety reasons twenty years ago and those two PI's agreed it was the right thing to do.

The Australian Taxation Office investigators, Work Cover Inspectors and similar do carry official government badges. They only show them to suspect's, witnesses and Bank Managers when accessing bank records. Who were you going to show your badge to and under what Act or Legislation?

If you wish to carry a PI badge, join the Iranian Secret Police and realise your unlimited potential out of harms way. Just stay out of the Australian PI Industry."

Heres some tongue in cheek times you could use your Private Investigator Badge

Next time some one cuts you off in traffic you could flash this ! And suffer the consequences.
If you are on an undercover operation in a small town and you purchase something from a shop or book into a motel, make sure you make this visible in your wallet!
If you want to impress the opposite sex and you don't have a brain use this!
If the police find it on you will be impersonating a law enforcement official and facing jail.
If you accidentally find yourself in a situation surrounded by Hells Angles or a similar gang, just pull this out and say, its OK I'm a P.I.
Also if you come across a bunch of plain clothes detectives (Police, FBI, ASIO,CIA) pull out your badge and say " It's OK officers I will take it from here!"
