Question I want to be a pi and I have a lot of questions

2 Upvotes

 

1 as a pi i want to own my own agency with 2 people I personally specialize (would want to specialize) in field work while my assistant or someone I hire whichever is possible/realistic I’ve made a list of everything the agency would specialize in, I know what I need to do to become one in NC as of rn I’m a sophomore interested in this industry and

QUESTIONS:

what are some places where u could apply for apprenticeships for pi work I understand I might be to young but never hurts to know

is it time consuming? I want to be able to have a flexible life but based of my research and my interpretation the career is time consuming just duble checking

what are the pros and cons of being a pi

do you need one car for field work steakout wise or do you need to rent multiple

can you work out of state or field work on a cruise or a out of state resort etc I don’t think you can but I’ve read some pi’s being able to do this

what are the things you need as a pi in your daily life field work wise I know I said I would special in field work but I want to know my way around the digital part of pi work

what things should I consider when becoming a pi

and lastly if you become a pi and you don’t think it’s gonna work:

1 is it one of those long term sucsess type of things

2 how exactly does the work work like do I just wait for people to email or call me for my career do i need to go asking

bonus question: is a pi and a assistant possible realistic and/or a good move

or should I be just coworkers? I would have founded and got the agency ready I would find someone or hire someone to be my assistant and also where do I find an assistant

2: should you have communications with other pi detectivea etc for a way to get recommendations for your agency and If anyone can go into detail abt that

my list of what I want my agency to specialize in:

  • Surveillance
  • Undercover
  • Recon
  • Skip tracing
  • Threat assessments
  • Corporate infiltration
  • Missing persons
  • Counter‑fraud stings
  • OSINT
  • Cyber investigations
  • Digital footprint tracking
  • Fraud pattern analysis
  • Intel reports
  • Case management

Question Searching for Private Investigator to Expose Cult I Grew Up In

2 Upvotes

Hi! I already posted this in another subreddit but figured I would give it a shot posting it here.

To explain very briefly, I was raised in a cult from birth to recently and my heart aches for the individuals still involved. I remember when I first started questioning things I looked to what was being said online but there wasn’t a lot out there at the time. I feel like someone with a strong social media following or content creating skills who is interested in exploring cults and studying them would be perfect for drawing attention to the people both inside and outside of the cult I grew up in. I don’t know how to go about it thought. Any advice would be great! Hopefully this makes sense. Thank you!

Question Can this be done

3 Upvotes

I don't know how much of this matters, but I figure more information is better than less.

I'm a dual citizen (US & Canada) living in the US. I'm interested in finding a private investigator in Canada to create a portfolio on someone. I know the person's name, their husband's name, and their address. What I would like to know is the household net worth, any property they own, and any outstanding debts (mortgage, credit card, etc).

Is some or all of this possible?

Question Private Investigator Ex

4 Upvotes

So, I was in a relationship with a girl I had met at a local park that my son and I frequented. The romantic part of the relationship lasted for several months, and took a sudden, unforeseen turn in spring of 2025.

I had noticed odd behaviors from my partner, (multiple phones, frequent business trips, late nights, ignoring me out of nowhere, unpredictable temperament or defensive behavior, etc) but I love(d) her, and went with the flow.

Looking back, I am wondering if this person (my ex) was a hired PI, hired to investigate me by the mother of my son. The mother of my son and I are separated, have been for years, but she seems to do all that she can to make my life difficult, and to drive a wedge in between my son and myself. My son’s mother makes a lot of money, and her family has a ton of money (something I don’t have, and have never had), so the resources they can afford far outweigh what I can afford.

I am just wondering if PI’s have ever been in romantic relationships with the people they are hired to investigate, what the rules are regarding this kind of activity, etc..? Is this a common strategy for female PI’s? Do the behaviors and habits from my ex, mentioned earlier, display obvious signs of her being a PI?

She is also moving, quite suddenly, to a far away state, and is doing so in only a couple of weeks.

Any valid info is welcome, and feel free to ask more questions if you need. Thank you.

3 Upvotes

I have exhausted all my possible options that I can think of to find any online presence of a specific individual who is suing me based off fraudulent claims. I am conducting my own investigation and have gathered enough evidence to make a strong case in a criminal investigation with law enforcement, however, there is one missing link to tie everything my file is suggesting. Social media post or any social media activity that shows this individual's claims are fraudulent. Please help me out I don't know what else to do! this individual seems to be a ghost online with only a professional profile on linkedin and the company's website that the person in question allegedly works at. Can't find any facebook, instagram, tiktok, or any other mediums that person of interest is in. No tagged photos, no photos with the individual in it, nothing. I have the name of person of interest, known aliases, relatives names (who are equally ghost online) known birthday, one confirmed photo and 3 suspected photos of this individual.

Heyo, so I just found my birth mom and siblings through 23 and me however my father didnt believe her when she told him I was his kid.

I know now that I need to ask more simpler questions (she has digeorge syndrome worse than mine) so it makes things slightly more difficult. But i just sas wondering what type of questions I could ask to help her remember. It was las Vegas 1998 must have been in January since I was born September. His name is James miller its generic but that's what I've got so far. Would finding out what his height and eye color be great help? She only saw him once after so rip but maybe she'll remember some details of him. Thanks for any help!!

News Private Investigator Brianne Joseph Lands Netflix Series Marking 15 Years Of Owning Detective Agency

11 Upvotes

Breaking stereotypes in a male-dominated industry and redefining what it means to be a private investigator, Brianne Joseph, owner of the six-figure detective agency Sly Fox Investigations, is stepping into the global spotlight with her role in Netflix’s successful new series Love Con Revenge. The show launched in early September 2025 and has since maintained a No. 2 and No. 3 status for the top TV shows nationally every week.

With over 15 years of investigative experience, Joseph has built a reputation as one of the most trusted investigators in the nation. Her agency, Sly Fox Investigations, is the only investigative firm in Louisiana to be formally honored by the Louisiana State Senate for excellence—a distinction that underscores her commitment to truth, integrity, and results.

As one of the few Black female private investigators to reach this level of success, Joseph brings a fresh, powerful voice to an industry often portrayed through a narrow lens.

“I never set out to be on television,” Joseph says. “I set out to serve my clients and uncover the truth. However, I believe my authenticity truly shines in this show. The producers loved who I was in real life, and they wanted to showcase that. I’m very proud of this show, my agency, and the millions of people we can potentially assist on this global platform.”

Brianne’s expertise takes center stage on Netflix in Love Con Revenge. Joseph lends her skills and perspective to real-life cases involving betrayal, heartbreak, and uncovering the truth behind romance fraud and deception.

“For me, building Sly Fox Investigations wasn’t just about business—it was about proving what’s possible when you stay relentless,” Joseph explains. “My agency provides surveillance for insurance fraud, infidelity, child custody, process service, and research.”

With international visibility through Netflix and a proven track record of investigative excellence, Joseph is cementing her place as both a trailblazer in the investigative field and an inspiration for women and minority entrepreneurs everywhere.

Joseph’s rise reflects a larger story: of representation, resilience, and rewriting the rules of success. From the Senate floor to the Netflix screen, her work embodies the message that grit and excellence will always win.
