Private Investigation Opportunity!

Are you tired of depending on other companies to send work your way (or even hire you)? Now we have a way to work on your own, and earn an opportunity to work for one of the best-established Private Investigator companies in Virginia, Character Profiles, Inc.

Here’s how it works:

Step 1 – Take the DCJS mandated Private Investigator class from Security Operation Services, Inc., our sister company. If you haven’t taken the course already, you can visit their website at www.sostraining.net to learn more! If you’re already registered as an investigator, you can mark this step off your list.

Step 2 – Apply for and obtain your Virginia DCJS Private Investigator registration.

Step 3 – Once you have your registration, it’s time to fill out employment paperwork! You will work under our business license, yet you will be working for your professional and personal contacts. For $150.00 per month, you will get business cards, a compliance agent and furnished office space to work from!

Step 4 – You earn while you learn! You can sell your own cases and make $30.00 per hour. You will also be given the opportunity to work cases from Character Profiles, and make $15.00 per hour. All billing is done by the CPI offices, so you have time to keep working cases!

Step 5 – The sky’s the limit! You can continue working for Character Profiles, another investigative company, or you can even open up your own! This is a great way to get experience in the industry and have our seasoned staff guide you on your work.

Did you know that the initial fees when you start a DCJS Private Security business can be over $3000.00 just to get started? That doesn’t even include office space, insurance or payroll taxes. This way, you get all the perks of starting your own business without that ridiculous initial expense!

It all begins with the first step! Get your certification and start working in the exciting field of investigations!
