Call to speed up regulation of private investigators

The body tasked with regulating private investigators has no target date for introducing regulations despite being set up 10 years ago.

The Private Security Authority says it has begun some groundwork on establishing the nature and scale of the private investigator industry but it is “only at the very initial stages.”

“We are licensing the security industry on a phased basis,” said Pat Gooley of the PSA’s corporate affairs section.
