When seeking the help of an Investigator, the British public can fall vulnerable to the destructive practice of untrained and unaccountable individuals masquerading through flashy websites and the unprotected term ‘Private Investigator’.
The Association of British Investigators prevents this type of exploitation. Formed in 1913, the ABI is a professional body representing investigators in the private sector – harmonising and improving standards, ethics, practice and procedures, whilst protecting the public in its careful referrals.
The ABI’s strict membership process requires applicants to satisfy a selection panel over a wide range of criteria, ensuring credible, qualified and experienced Investigators are recommended to the British public.
