Have you ever watched the TV show Cheaters? Rejected lovers hire a private investigation agency to inquire about their partner or so-called soul mate to see whether or not he/she is cheating. Yet do private eyes just target adulterous lovers? What other work does a private investigator, or sometimes called a PI, investigate? In this article, I will attempt to explain the job and the purpose of someone who was at one time called a gumshoe.

The point of their work is to uncover the truth. During this search, a private investigator, must maintain impartiality if he is to perform his task competently. Mostly, it is ironic that clients of private detectives do not want the truth, they just want to gain ground. Like this attitude, some of the clients in the programme Cheaters have a hostile attitude. The line of work of a private detective and his agency is to reveal the facts and aid their client.

For the private investigator, revealing the truth is a double-edged sword. He or she is remunerated to disclose the facts even if revealing those facts can damage their client’s chances of winning, especially a lawsuit. The clients need to know the good news as well as the bad news. Nothing can be worse for an attorney than to appear in court and be blindsided by a poisonous statement or information that he was unaware of and should have been. A lawyer should have all the facts beforehand and that is the very reason the private investigator has been hired. Whatever the outcome, it is the private investigator’s job to discover the facts and let the case develop on its own.

Suppose the other side of a lawsuit wins in court, that does not mean that the private investigator did not do his job - of course not. It just signifies they performed their job to the utmost standards for their occupation and to the greatest of their ability. The decision of a judge or jury cannot be persuaded by a private detective can they?
