Chamber of Commerce-Certified Detective Specialists in Essen

Since 1990, a recommendation from the then Federal Minister for Education and Science, Jürgen Möllemann, has stated that professional training for detectives should be defined in the Vocational Training Act and set as a prerequisite for practising the profession. At the time, this referred to a specialist knowledge certificate for private investigators, "to avert significant dangers to the legal community" (Source: ZAD, Letter from the Federal Minister of the Interior). This recommendation has not yet been implemented.

 

It is therefore all the more important for potential clients to verify the qualifications of detectives before commissioning them. Kurtz Detective Agency Essen relies exclusively on Chamber of Commerce-certified detective specialists and former law enforcement personnel (criminal police and intelligence services) in the interest of professional investigative work: +49 201 3840 9057.

Detective Services Provided by Security Companies? Guarding is not the same as surveillance; a security firm is not a detective agency.

In addition to the qualifications of the agency or detective, clients should ensure they do not engage a security company. Unfortunately, in common parlance, the term "detective agency" has also come to mean a security company due to clever marketing by some firms. Observers in such "agencies" are often merely doormen and site security personnel, which harms both the investigative profession and its clients.

 

A detective must also be a jurist. Detectives who operate using unfair methods that are not legally admissible regularly jeopardise both their own legal position and that of their clients. Safe handling of German law is the first principle of any reputable investigator. Even years after an assignment has concluded, authorities may come knocking if investigations were conducted improperly, holding you accountable for the unlawful actions of a "detective". Any apparent savings on detective costs can quickly turn into substantial losses.

Legally admissible investigative reports should be standard for detective agencies – unfortunately, they often are not.
