There aren't any rules, just don't break any obvious laws that you won't be able to explain later.\n\n1. Always keep your distance. Don't invade anyone's space and do not engage in any overtly violent act no matter how justified you feel.\n\n2. If you're going to take photographs make sure you are in a public place and your targets are also in a public place. If they are in a restaurant, bar, or car that's okay. Taking photos of them through the window of a private residence is a definite no-no. You could be charged as a voyeur ("peeping Tom").\n\n3. Do not resort to any kind of electronic audio bugging. The 'evidence' could land you in jail. Never 'wiretap' a phone or similar. This is a Federal offence and will land in serious trouble.\n\n4. If you are engaging in covert work on behalf of a client obtain a Private Investigators license. It'll keep you out of trouble later and you can deduct taxes too.\n\nOver all, use common sense and objectivity.

No, you do not. I hire a private investigating firm about once a month in relation to my job as a personal injury lawyer.  I, nor any of my colleagues so far as I know, require any such background.  However, I do require a basic understanding of the legal procedures to serve process in the locality, and I never hire again if my PI doesn't know how to draft a court-approved affidavit of service that reflects the circumstances (whether successfull or not) and complies with the local laws.

At my college, here in Marshfield, WI, they have two criminal justice programs. One is for law enforcement and the other is for the department of corrections. You should see if there is a program at a local college in your area that will work with the Hillsbourough Sheriff's Department.

Try your local Ymca.  Often times they have Scuba courses available.  If you are not a Ymca member then you might have to pay a little more but my family got certified in Bloomington Indiana so you should be able to get scuba lessons in WI.

Call up a local police department, or just stop by.   They are usually willing to help.  My roommate at school was in CJ, and did a similar project with a department in her local police force.  She just walked in explaining she was a student, and they told her what to look for and introduced her to an office member that really helped her out.

YOU GO GIRL! It really depends - what state you live in and if youre willing to move out of state...\n\nThis was the field I wanted to get into. I went to college, asked the counselors what courses to take. They told me to take Administration of Justice, so I did. I now have a BS in Crim Justice - but that wasnt what I needed to do forensic work! DO NOT listen to your counselors...they are morons. You need to study Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Get a degere in one of those, then you can apply with the FBI...better than a regular forensic specialist in the field...\n\nLive my dream - Im too old to now!

If I were you, I would go ask someone from your local PD.  They could let you know what the requirements are for your department.

First, most Private Detectives are very independent-minded.  That's why they chose their profession, because they like to work alone.  Secondly, they tend get lots of applications from people who saw the sexy TV shows, and want to be cool.  The real work is nothing like that.\n\nIf you're serious about pursuing this field, there are a few worthwhile directions to go.  First, consider a career in law enforcement, which would help you learn skills.  If that doesn't work for you, a private security firm might be a good option, and is probably something you could do while still in school, on a part-time basis.  Also, I think it's unlikely that you'll get a job with any but the largest of the private detective firms, most of which also have a security arm, so that may be a good entry point.\n\nBest of luck to you. I've included a link on the career field.
