Career guide: A day in the life of a Private Investigator
18.05.12
Then, it's off to a client in the morning, to conduct an interview with a suspected fraudster, and then it's time to sweep out all the bugs from the office of another.
No, it's not this week's episode of the TV show Cheaters, but a day in the life of private investigator Wayne Fisher of BDI - the man clients turn to to find out the truth about events.
If you're intrepid, inquisitive, intelligent and inquiring, with a strong sense of justice, then you may just have what it takes to become a private investigator.
Wayne is one of many former SAPS detectives who have taken their policing skills and gone solo to provide private investigative services to businesses and individuals.
This service is increasingly in demand. The high crime rate forces businesses to become more vigilant in fighting fraud and staff theft. And there are always the wives - and husbands too - who need a private investigator to confirm suspicions.
But you don't need police experience to enter the field.
