We are not police officers. The training testing, background checks, and certifications process we go through in order to obtain our Registration is meant to set us apart as individuals who are committed to unbiased professionalism. As such, we are bound to rigid codes of conduct dictated by the Association of Private Detectives of India. 2 Similarly, we are not attorneys. Though we are very knowledgeable of the laws governing our actions, any advice we give concerning the direction or outcome of your case is merely a suggestion that should be approved by any legal representative you may have. 3 We are not magicians. Ours is an industry revolving around details gathered through available information, the understanding of this details, and the working knowledge of how to follow the trails we uncover. This detailed information is generated through diligence and knowing where to look. Just as librarians are not geniuses, they simply are trained on where and how to find information. 4 Sometimes the information generated is contrary to what the client hopes to find. We cannot guarantee results. We can only guarantee that the necessary information, documentation, etc will be searched for diligently, legally, expediently, and as economically as possible. 5 If surveillance is necessary we feel obligated to inform you of the “real life caveats”. Surveillance, especially moving surveillance, is a hit an miss science. We can perform these observations under agreed upon time and location parameters but cannot promise activity on behalf of the subject. Similarly, moving surveillance carries with it inherent obstacles such as the unpredictable nature of traffic. There is no guarantee that contact with the subject can be maintained as we cannot predict traffic flow, traffic conditions, weather, or other unforeseen problems. As in number one above, we have not more authority than an ordinary citizen. This includes traffic laws. Similarly, privacy and private property laws will dictate the conduct of some surveillances.   Probe Intelligence Services can, however, make a promise that most of the other agencies can’t. That is, we will do everything in our power to reach the goal of obtaining the information you need in a timely and economical fashion and conduct ourselves in a professional and discreet manner while representing you in your case.   Table 1 Grading scale for answers to questions on an application form   Result of check or reply Probable decision False replies on the application or serious derogatory data uncovered explanations Reject Confront: ask for detailed more likely to reject than accept.
