Following the\u00a0House of Commons Select Committee report of: 2012 into the Regulation of Private Investigators<\/a>: \u201cAn inquiry into the case for statutory regulation of private investigators\u201d. The assumption was that a simple licensing process would be, \u201cRolled out\u201d…<\/p>\n

Training centres that offer the L3 Awards in Professional Investigation have noticed the symmetry between their existing syllabus<\/a> and the proposed components of the competency requirements in BS Standard 102000…specifically, the Code of practice for the provision of investigative services directs that before an investigator conducts activities, the necessary competence has been demonstrated in:<\/p>\n
