Noordhollands Dagblad: private investigators solve cases the police leave unsolved
In January 2024 the Noordhollands Dagblad spoke with private investigators and a lawyer about how the profession works, which cases they take on and how they relate to the police.
On 11 January 2024 the Noordhollands Dagblad (journalist Julia Osendarp) published a feature on private investigators: how do they work, and why do some people prefer a private investigator to the police? One of our investigators talks about his work in the article, alongside another private investigator and a lawyer.
The article covers, among other things, the requirements for an investigation bureau (a licence from the Ministry of Justice and Security, training as a private investigator and an ID card, known as the yellow pass), which cases private investigators take on, from alimony fraud, infidelity and stalking to sick leave fraud, internal theft and breach of a non-compete clause, and how cooperation with the police and lawyers works.
One of our investigators stresses that we are not a competitor of the police but do the preparatory work or offer a complement. He also says privacy and ethics set the limits: use as few heavy means as possible and do not simply place hidden cameras in a home. On cost, he says it depends on the duration, the complexity and the manpower deployed.
