For our organization, it is essential that the information on the credential is kept up-to-date and correctly verified to ensure proper identification of the detective.

However, our work goes beyond merely providing information; it exerts real control over the detective’s activities, ensuring that this process remains consistent over time.

Credential Issuance

The Detective Credential is issued free of charge to the Detective after:

1. Meeting the requirements for obtaining the Diploma upon completion of the Detective Course, at which point a Detective Identification Number is assigned, serving as the main identification element on the credential.
2. After this, the Requirements for the Credential must be met.

This initial credential has an expiration period of 1 year from its issuance, after which the credential must be renewed by fulfilling the Credential Renewal Requirements.

Need for Continuous Renewal

In our society, we understand that some individuals seek to commit fraud using this profession. Often, due to our reputation, these individuals pose as qualified investigators when their intentions are quite different.

The detective profession suffers from serious issues of clandestine and illegal activities, as seen in the course, where many people use detective services to perpetrate fraud or extortion.

While we conduct a thorough review of the information submitted during the initial credential issuance, sometimes, over the course of months, a detective’s motivations may change. Therefore, it is necessary for our company to continuously verify the detective’s conduct. In most cases, detectives deepen their knowledge and advance in their investigations, but a small minority may choose an illegal, clandestine, or deceptive path. To identify this small group, we have designed the renewal system.

Through this system, where we continuously verify the credential holder’s information, we ensure that:

1. The detective with the credential possesses a quality credential because we make it exclusive to detectives who practice this profession responsibly.
2. We provide clients or service contractors with valuable information about the type of professional handling their case, generating trust and peace of mind in the process.

Common Issues Avoided with Information Control in Renewal

These cases, which are avoided through credential renewal, represent an unprecedented advancement in determining the honesty and professional development of detectives in the region. This process allows us to separate those who received our initial training but chose a different path from those detectives who grow in knowledge and capability.

Regarding this small group, we have identified the following behaviors, which we have avoided, controlled, and helped resolve through proper credential control:

• Identity Theft: Often, individuals with other intentions use someone else’s data, which might pass the initial credential check. However, with the renewal process one year after graduation, identity theft becomes much more difficult, enabling our team to detect such behavior based on the initial credential issuance records, IP addresses, and other systems.
• Behavioral Changes: It’s clear that different personal situations can lead a detective to desperation, pushing them toward criminal activities. Therefore, what initially motivated them correctly may change over time, and signs of this change are what we seek to identify during renewal.
• Control of Misconduct: Our commitment, as is well known, is to the truth. Any behavior suggesting deception or betrayal of this principle is considered an irregular activity against the company’s purpose. When we notice during the renewal process that a detective is involved in actions or activities contrary to the company’s mission, the credential is suspended.
• Criminal Activity: In this line of work, we may have close relationships with national and international regulatory bodies, making it necessary to have data on high-profile members, such as detectives. In rare cases, detectives may be involved in criminal activities. In these cases, and with the appropriate legal support from the relevant body, we provide all the information collected about the detective from their beginnings.

Benefits of Information Updating and Control

Proper detective identification offers many benefits, such as:

• Transparency: One of the most important norms when establishing a working relationship with a person is professional identification. Often, we find people offering numerous services in the market, but we rarely have the opportunity to know their expertise in a particular skill. Credential control resolves this uncertainty.
• Proper Identification: On many occasions, we need a business card that speaks to who we are or what we are capable of doing, but such cards or advertisements can always be questioned. The credential, through its QR code, validates the credential holder as a person with the corresponding private investigation knowledge.
• Professional Growth and Development: For those of us who have been in the profession for years, achieving categorization is one of the most challenging tasks since it means that in our professional development, we reach milestones along the way. The credential indicates these achievements through the Detective Class listed on our credential.
• Verification of Legal Work: The credential promotes the legal status of the detective through the Type of Credential, providing valuable information to the regulatory body in the detective’s country.
• Physical Identification: Often, credential identification can be complex because photo characteristics or data are simple or outdated. A photo or name alone may raise reasonable doubt in many cases. The credential precisely indicates data such as gender, date of birth, height, and eye color, which, along with the updated photo, provides a useful profile for those seeking to verify the detective’s identity. This same information is available by scanning the QR code on the credential, ensuring that any imperfections are addressed.
• Detective’s Location: One of the most frequently asked questions by government control agencies and clients is, “Where can the detective be found?” The credential provides the detective’s address, verified by our company, offering security to the individual seeking the detective’s whereabouts, signifying accountability for their activities.

Thus, for our company, a credential is a highly valuable informational tool that exercises full control over this professional activity.
