Why do tinted car windows often help Oklahoma City private investigators?

Tinted windows can often help them go undetected by those they are investigating. No one wants the person he or she is conducting surveillance on to know someone is in a parked car. Likewise, no client wants the person of interest to know that a detective is following him or her! They do not have to pay an inordinate amount for tinted windows, so the cost versus the benefits makes for a good deal!

Is serving as a private investigator dangerous?

Working as a licensed agent can sometimes be quite dangerous. Depending on what case he is working on, the danger level can be relatively low or extremely high. Some people under surveillance might be breaking the law, or they might be conducting a private investigation into a murder or a missing children case. The people under surveillance might be carrying knives, guns, or even bombs! This is why the Council on Law Enforcement Education and Training (CLEET) provides for two different types of private investigator licenses.

What is the difference between the “armed” and “unarmed” Oklahoma private investigator licenses?

The first type of license is that of an “unarmed private investigator”. With this type of license, a private detective in Oklahoma does not have to take any firearm training courses. Likewise, he with this type of private investigation license may not carry any firearm. Thus, if the Oklahoma private eye gets into trouble or needs to protect himself with a firearm, then his only options will be to call the police or to bring an armed private investigator along who can lawfully carry a firearm. The second type of license is that of an “armed private investigator”. In addition to completing Phases I & 3 and passing their tests, he must also take the CLEET Phase IV class and pass that accompanying test. The Phase IV class is the firearms training, and it also requires that all candidates take and pass a psychological evaluation. Once candidates have successfully done this, they will also be allowed to carry a firearm with them.
