Before you hire
A buyer's guide to hiring a private investigator in the US: what PIs can and cannot legally do, state-by-state licensing, real hourly rates and retainers, how to vet a firm, and when to hire through a lawyer instead.
Read the private investigation buyer's guidePrivate security in Wisconsin is licensed at the state level by the the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS). A legitimate company operating in Racine holds a Private Detective/Security Agency license, which means it has cleared Wisconsin DSPS's ownership, background-check and insurance requirements. Ask for that license number in writing and verify it yourself — a certificate on the wall tells you nothing about current standing, since a license can be suspended or revoked.
Hiring an unlicensed company is a risk you carry. In Wisconsin, operating without a license is misdemeanor (Wis. Stat. § 440.26(8)). Operating unlicensed, or knowingly employing someone who advertises or works unlicensed as a private detective/security person, is fined $100-$500, imprisoned 3-6 months, or both; conviction also makes the offender ineligible for a license for one year and can trigger revocation or suspension of the employing agency's license.
