Florida Private Investigator Practice Exam

The Class C License is required for individuals performing investigative services not as employees, which means they operate independently as private investigators rather than under the employment of a licensed agency. This license ensures that those conducting investigations on their own have met specific training and competency standards set forth by regulatory bodies.

This is essential for maintaining professionalism and accountability in the private investigative field. Individuals operating independently must demonstrate compliance with state laws and regulations concerning private investigation practices, as they may not benefit from the oversight required of employees working under a licensed agency.

Other groups mentioned, such as in-house investigators or those working without supervision, may not necessarily require a Class C License if they are functioning as employees of a licensed entity or under the supervision of a licensed investigator. Thus, while they play important roles within companies or under certain structures, they follow different licensing requirements dictated by their employment status.
