Investigative Assistant Position: Short and Sweet.

This page is provided to dispel misconceptions as to the roll of a Private Investigator therefore saving our time and yours.

No experience is needed, we will train you to our needs and standards.

We are looking for mature adults that are available most weekday hours. Some evenings and weekends. Schedules are mostly flexible.

The position is initially part time, approximately 10-20 hours per week. Perfect for Retirees who NEED a supplemental income. We do not have the time to train and license anyone who just wants to kill time and pick-up a few bucks.

NO illegal drug use, NO history of theft, violence or alcohol abuse.

A thorough records investigation is conducted by the Maryland State Police as well as an FBI records check .

We do not primarily watch cheating husbands and wives.

We do not carry handguns.

We do not engage in car chases.

We do not generally identify ourselves and are mostly covert.

We do not carry badges.

Our primary duties included surveillance for fraud.

The hours are mostly inactive. In other words, boring.

Internet access is a must and possess a functional knowledge of Word, Outlook Calendar & Email software. You do not need to know it inside and out.

A cell phone is almost a must. We will reimburse legitimate minute usage.

Transportation is a must. We pay mileage.

Having your own video camera and digital still camera would be a PLUS.

Having transcribing skills a PLUS

Speaking Spanish a PLUS

Area of Coverage: Primarily Washington, Frederick and Montgomery Counties in Maryland.

Pay: STARTING pay is between $9.00 & $15.00/hr.; 15 cents per mile travel and any out of pocket expenses. Pay period is flexible. A state licensing and background fee of $57.00 is required but may be deducted through payroll. This IS NOT an application fee. It is only applicable once hired for the position. The fee is reimbursed after 90 days of employment. It will not be reimbursed if information on any application is deemed to be false.

All this being said, it can be a rewarding and exciting position. We’ve investigated homicides, suicides, traffic accidents, theft as well as locating long lost friends, relatives and others. Many times a case is like a puzzle where the challenge is to follow a lead to a successful conclusion. My intent was not to under-play our roll but to eliminate an applicant’s disappointment in not finding what they have perceived the profession to be.
