The Private Investigator Auckland Services Guide

A Brief History of Private Investigators & Detectives

While today’s security specialists and private investigator Auckland services  use a complex range of technology and techniques, the industry itself began in 1833 as a simple, semi-legal alternative to the French police force. Founded by Eugène François Vidocq (a French soldier & criminal), “Le Bureau des Renseignements Universels pour le commerce et l’Industrie” – the first detective agency, was suprisingly started by hiring ex-convicts.

These early private investigators or detectives acted as the Police in matters their clients felt the Police were neither equipped or willing, and the agency also assisted companies in labour disputes and acted as a private militia by providing armed guards. As the industry grew internationally, the role, the requirements and expectations for private investigators also become much more comprehensive.

A Private investigator in Auckland (and across NZ) must now hold a license issued by the Ministry of Justice (in the name of an individual investigator, or the firm), often work in close collaboration with Police and engage in a broad variety of personal or business focused activities without breaching any laws.
