Make sure to visit the website of a potential candidate if one is listed, it may be a valuable source of information. Moving on to the website results provided by the search engine, the website of a good candidate should be very professional and informative. There should be a clear description of the services provided by the private investigator and contact information. If the website mentions that the investigator or agency is licensed by the Security Industry RegulatoryDepartment (SIRD) of the Singapore Police Force this is a good indicator of an established, experienced and trustworthy service.

Questions that you ask should be general questions relating to the service and not reveal any specific or sensitive information about your case. For example it’s a good idea to ask about pricing information, experience, and licenses to operate but it would not be good to give out any personal information in the initial phone conversation. Try to set up a face to face interview or case consultation. If you decide during or after the interview to hire the privateinvestigator be sure to get a written contract for services that outlines all of the details of the service to be provided, costs and privacy policies. Now that you know where to look for a private investigator in Singapore, you may be one step closer to meeting all of your information needs.
