What is the difference between a private investigator and a private detective?

The terms private investigator and private detective are often used interchangeably, but they can have slightly different meanings depending on where you are.

Private Investigator: This term is more commonly used and usually refers to a licensed professional who conducts investigations for individuals, companies, or legal professionals. Private investigators handle tasks like background checks, surveillance, fraud detection, and gathering evidence for legal cases. They focus on fact-finding and reporting information to clients.

In Canada, we can only call ourselves Private Investigators, as it would be illegal to call ourselves Private Detectives.

Private Detective: In some places, “private detective” is just another name for a private investigator. However, in other regions, it can refer to a professional with a more specialized focus on solving mysteries or criminal cases, often involving more complex or high-profile investigations.

Private Detective is used in the United States of America and is legal there.

In most cases, there’s no functional difference, and both terms describe professionals hired to investigate matters privately. The main difference is just in the terminology used by different regions or organizations.
