History of the PPIAC
Professional Private Investigators Association of Colorado
PPIAC, founded in 1978, was formed to improve the credibility of private investigators and to provide guidelines for a licensing statute, should one be drafted.
PPIAC focuses on the continuous education of investigators while providing a framework for their ethical conduct. When the public needs a P.I., they can rely on the competent members of this organization, who have all passed a thorough background check. PPIAC members believe in high standards of conduct and also in a constant upgrading of skills and knowledge through training.
PPIAC, about 140 members strong, fosters professionalism, as well as informs the investigative community of legislative changes. We sponsor monthly trainings and a three-day Annual Training Conference covering the various aspects of a very diverse business, including these topics:
- marketing and growing the P.I. business,
- civil and criminal case work,
- public records and computer databases,
- trial preparation,
- corporate structures,
- interviewing,
- fact verification,
- fraud,
- workers compensation,
- lawyer support services,
- undercover and surveillance,
- counter-surveillance,
