Book Reviews of Code of Professional Conduct: Standards and Ethics for the Investigative Profession

Book Review: A Must For All Professional Investigators...
Summary: 5 Stars

As a licensed private investigator, college instructor of private investigations courses, and an avid reader of investigative texts, I must commend Ms. Kitty Hailey, CLI, CFE, for writing the only definitive book on ethics for the investigative professional.

Individuals seek out the expertise of the professional investigator when they are in need of help. The role of the investigator is to provide the necessary assistance in a manner that is factual, accountable, and complete. Nothing, however, stops the unethical practitioner who takes advantage of those for whom he or she works. "Code of Professional Conduct" has been prepared to advance the reputation of the private investigation profession, and to ensure that sufficient effort is afforded to each client.

A majority of the professional investigation associations already invoke a code of ethics and/or cannons of professional conduct. Although similar in many respects, they also vary greatly.

Ms. Hailey has compiled, compared, and contrasted the various doctrines of these codes. They have been categorized and restated with emphasis on clarity and simplicity of language.

The private investigation profession demands the most diligent, honest, and professional conduct of its practitioners. "Code of Professional Conduct" will help meet that goal.

This book should be in the hands of every practicing investigator, every person who hires an investigator, and the leaders of every investigative association.

Overall, the content is excellent and the author is one of the nation's foremost authorities on professionalism in the investigative professions. If you are truly interested in this topic, and all professional investigators should be, then this is the title you've been looking for.

I would also like to personally thank Ms. Hailey for taking the time to send me a signed copy of this book and her other book, "The Professional Investigator: A compilation of Articles, Essays and Forms".

As always, check with your local library or bookstore to see if you can read/review this or any title before deciding to make a purchase. This method has effectively allowed me to make the most of my investigative library budget.

Summary of Code of Professional Conduct: Standards and Ethics for the Investigative Profession

People come to a private investigator to seek help. Lawyers will use an investigator on cases, a businessman may hire an investigator to investigate fraudulent transactions with his company, or an investigator may be hired by a convicted felon to prove his innocence. The job of the investigator is to provide the necessary assistance in a manner that is both accountable and complete. Nothing, however, stops the unethical practitioner who takes advantage of those for whom he or she works. Code of Professional Conduct has been prepared to advance the reputation of the profession and insure that sufficient effort is afforded each client.

A majority of the professional investigator associations already invoke a code of ethics. Although similar in many respects, they also vary greatly. Kitty Hailey has compiled, compared and contrasted the various doctrine of these codes. They have been categorized and restated with emphasis on clarity and simplicity of language. Many of these international, national, and state ethical codes are individually lacking in content. Together, they are an all-encompassing platform that establishes a level to which the investigator can aspire. The bar is high. But the profession demands the most diligent, honest and professional conduct be afforded those who pay for the services of the investigator.

If you are an investigator, you should have this book handy to make sure your services meet the highest standards. If you are someone hiring an investigator, you should use this book to make sure that your investigator is providing to you the services for which you paid.
