Private investigator: acting within the law

Private investigator: acting within the law

Private investigator: we act within the framework of the law. Everything happens in life, and many situations related to breaking the law in relation to you require the intervention of outsiders who have more opportunities to resolve a particular case. As a rule, the most correct decision is an appeal to law enforcement agencies, with the submission of an appropriate application and the willingness to cooperate at any time of the day or night. But, sometimes it happens that the police (police) are not able to provide complete information in the near future, which is completely explained by objective factors, or the matter is so personal that the only way out is to turn to a private detective. In modern Russia, and in most civilized countries, detective services are in great demand among various segments of the population.

But before you contact the detective agency with a particular request, you need to make sure that your problem fits into the list of services that are allowed by law.

So, in accordance with the Law on Private Detective and Security Activities in the Russian Federation, you can ask a detective about:

the search for a missing relative, child, spouse, friend, debtor or work colleague; as well as pets of exclusive breeds or from a pedigree;

usually a private detective has an extensive and updated database of missing persons, and also has operational communications with law enforcement agencies;

collecting information on civil cases on a contractual basis with participants in the process;

This is often used to identify hidden assets of debtors who do not wish to pay debts, presenting false information about the property. The result of the detective’s work is an official document, which any court must accept and on the basis of which to make an appropriate decision in favor of the plaintiff;

business intelligence;

if you plan to conclude a contract for a significant amount of money and non-fulfillment of contractual obligations by a potential partner is fraught with financial risks, then many cautious entrepreneurs turn to detectives to clarify the market situation, collect data for negotiations, as well as identify the level of creditworthiness and reliability of a business partner;

investigation of cases of illegal use of brand names and names in business, unfair competition, as well as the disclosure of trade secrets that entailed losses;

in the latter case, detective services are especially in demand, because this is a purely "internal" affair of any organization and is not subject to public disclosure;

ascertaining the reliability of the information presented in the resume of applicants for managerial positions (directors, financial managers, etc.);

this measure is necessary to exclude a person’s criminal past and to find out the reasons for dismissal from a previous job;

search for the disappeared property;

Usually such matters are “family” and clients do not want publicity.


As a rule, in any city there is more than one private detective agency, whose employees are former employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and related spheres. If deadlines play an important role, then you need to choose an organization with a good reputation and experience.

Private investigation - history and modernity

The adventurer and artisan created the most risky business.

The beginning of private investigation was laid by the adventurer and artisan. Eugene Francois Widoc, the founder of the European private investigation - comes from the ranks of the French police. The truth left the law enforcement agencies not quite voluntarily - an adventurer, actor and mercenary, a thief, a swindler, a duelist and a convict - such a biography turned out to be too rich even for the tolerant Sürte. Vidok, who exposed about 20 thousand criminals, was fired from the police and in 1834 established the Bureau of Investigation in the Interests of Trade, luring his most capable colleagues in Sürte into his business. His clients were merchants, bankers, industrialists.

The first American detective agency appeared a little later, it was created by a craftsman, cooper Alan Nathaniel Pinkerton. When buyers paid fake banknotes in his shop near Chicago, the deceived cooper himself tracked them down and handed them over to the sheriff, after which he gained fame as the greatest detective in the district and was elected sheriff himself. This led him to the idea of creating his own detective agency, which he founded in 1852. In 1861, Pinkerton prevented the assassination attempt on President Lincoln, and, at his request, created an American secret service and led it for some time. Pinkerton’s employees were the first to work undercover, use photography in forensics, and learn other new technologies in the fight against crime.


The victorious procession of detectives

After that, detective agencies all over the world began to grow like mushrooms after the rain: in 1929, there were already about a thousand agencies in the USA, and today there are more than 3500. In the large industrial and trading companies of Finland, Norway, Denmark, and Sweden at the end of the last century, powerful security services. In Canada, in 1909, a law was passed on private investigators and security officers, which provide for the registration and issuance of licenses to all investigators and police officers who work under contracts with private agencies.


In Russia, a detective is a man of sovereigns

In Russia, non-state law enforcement units began to emerge a little later, in the second half of the 19th century. However, the specificity of Russia was that it was not about detective agencies in the usual sense for us, but rather about security services with expanded powers or a completely outlandish symbiosis of police and private capital.

Ivan Dmitrievich Putilin in his youth tested his strength in military service, but soon realized that it was not his path, and went to the police. He was quickly noticed and in 1863 he was recommended to the top-level commission of inquiry. This meant his undoubted recognition - in those days, patronage, although it existed, was not in institutions of this level. The gifted detective was loved by the leadership - for professional actions, and ordinary people - for selflessness and goodwill, even the criminals respected him for his immaculate, incapable of immoral acts. In 1866, the main detective organ, the Directorate, was formed in the Russian Empire, and Putinin, of course, headed it.

In 1889, after 30 years of immaculate service, Putilin retired, receiving the rank of lieutenant general.

For example, in 1872, the Cabinet of Ministers of the Russian Empire created a private police at the Novorossiysk Society of Coal, Rail and Railway Production. By 1890, private police already existed in 67 provinces, and in 1916 its total number was about 6 thousand people. In 1910, the Ministry of Internal Affairs received a number of applications for permission to establish the All-Russian Private Detective Bureau. However, a strict ban was imposed on the activities of the Russian Sherlock Holmes - at that time in Russia there was a strong police force created on the basis of the law of July 6, 1908 “On the organization of the detective unit”, which did not need the assistance of a private detective.

At the International Congress of Criminalists, held in Switzerland in 1913, the Russian detective police in the nomination "crime detection" was recognized as the best in the world. At different times, it was headed by such detective stars as “The King of Investigation” A.F. Koshko and “Russian Sherlock Holmes” I.D. Putilin.

Arkady Frantsevich Koshko was born in 1867. After graduating from a military school, the young junker was assigned to further service in the regiment, stationed in Simbirsk. But military service did not attract an inquisitive young man, and he resigned. In 1894 A.F. Koshko entered the Riga police as an ordinary inspector and immediately received excellent recommendations. He quickly grew in service, was repeatedly awarded. For a high detection of crimes, a young, educated and ambitious detective showed not only personal courage, but also boldly applied the methods known to European forensics in practice. Six years later, A.F. Koshko was the chief of the Riga police; five years later he was appointed deputy chief of the St. Petersburg detective police.

In 1908, he became the head of the detective police of Moscow. At this time, Arkady Frantsevich developed and first applied the new system in forensics, which was subsequently adopted by Scotland Yard.

Instead of detectives - combatants

Russia was shocked by the revolution and civil war. In 1922, the Tsentrozysk (MVD) of Russia prepared and sent to the Council of People's Commissars two draft decrees on a private search bureau and private security. Private search bureaus could work with both criminal and civil cases, it was assumed that their competence would include the prevention and disclosure of crimes against the person and property interests. The prepared decree was sent to the Council of People's Commissars, but then recalled. Moreover, the opening of private detective bureaus on the ground was prohibited.

From 1922 to 1987, private detective and security activities in the USSR as such did not exist, private participation in law enforcement was possible in the form of public entities, such as public assistants to investigators, non-staff police officers, and vigilantes.


Perestroika gave Russian detectives a new chance

Private detectives appeared in Russia only in the late 80s of the twentieth century, during the rapid development of the cooperative movement and entrepreneurship. One of the consequences of the adoption of the laws "On Cooperation", "On Joint-Stock Companies", was the emergence of detective agencies. Then, to create a detective organization, a license was not required; there was an application rather than a permit procedure. A large number of highly qualified professionals from the KGB, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the GRU, and the SVR tested their strength on the path of private investigation. But, like 100 years ago, the most popular was a complex of detective and security services, which was a guarantee of the protection of businessmen in the event of conflicts with racketeers and corrupt officials. Currently, private detective activity in Russia is based on the law "On Private Detective and Security Activities in the Russian Federation" adopted on March 11, 1992 (as amended on December 22, 2008).
