What is the difference between a Private Investigator and a Private Detective? There really is no difference – it is a matter of semantics and whether the term “investigator” or “detective” is used depends on the licensing laws for the State in which you reside in. In many states, the words “private investigator” and “private detective” are interchangeable, but in some states there is a difference in their accepted meaning. In Virginia you can call yourself either an Investigator or a Detective. However, for example, in New Jersey someone who wants to become a private investigator must adhere to the licensing laws as detailed in the Private Detective Act of 1939.
A person who has the prerequisite investigative experience is called a “qualifier.” When the New Jersey State Police Private Detective Unit issues the license, the “qualifier” is classified as a Licensed Private Detective. When an owner of a licensed detective agency employs a “licensed qualifier” that person is classified as a Private Investigator. Historically, the profession of non-law enforcement investigations started back with Pinkerton in the late 1800’s. At that time, the term “private detective” was the formal name and the outfit they worked with was a “detective agency.” There were many movies and TV shows that began using the “private-eye” moniker more often. Starting in 1974, television shows like the Rockford Files and Magnum P.I. really brought the investigative profession into the limelight. Around 1960, many states did not want the public to confuse a private detective with that of a police detective. There has been a trend in many state licensing authorities and investigative associations to use the title “private investigator” as opposed to “private detective.” In fact, many states have actually taken legal steps to stop using the “detective” title.
