What does a Class A license designate?

  1. An individual private investigator

  2. A company engaging in investigative services

  3. An intern under supervision

  4. A license for security specialists

The correct answer is: A company engaging in investigative services

A Class A license is designated for companies engaging in investigative services. This type of license allows a business entity to legally operate as a private investigation agency, providing a range of investigative services such as surveillance, background checks, and other related activities. Holding a Class A license signifies that the company has met the necessary regulatory requirements and is authorized to conduct investigations on behalf of clients. Individuals or interns working under this license must be affiliated with the licensed agency and cannot operate independently without the appropriate credentials of their own. Therefore, while an individual private investigator may operate under a Class A license, it is the agency that holds the license, not the individual.
