While each Oklahoma agency is free to set their own education and training requirements, it is also necessary to pass the training and licensing requirements set by Oklahoma’s laws and the Council on Law Enforcement and Education and Training (CLEET).
Let us put it this way: the basic, unarmed Oklahoma City private investigator must take and successfully complete CLEET’s Phases I & III – to which they would then complete Oklahoma’s state-mandated tests. If the private investigator in Oklahoma wishes to be armed, he/she/they must take and successfully complete CLEET’s Phases I, III, & IV.
Currently, Oklahoma’s laws do not require any additional education or training to provide Oklahoma private investigators – besides being over the age of 21 and completing their required private investigation agency in OKC continuing education classes every couple of years. That does not mean, however, that a better qualified private detective agency in Edmond OK will not offer a dedicated team of private detectives in Oklahoma City with further education and professional experience under their belt.
