Essentially, it is always about gathering information and documentation. For this<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">can<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> classic surveillance<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> and<\/span> <span data-contrast=\"auto\">Monitoring <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">are used,<\/span> <span data-contrast=\"auto\">but also research (online and offline) and personal interviews<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">. The detective generally utilises all sources of information available to him. This may include, for example, publicly accessible files or special informants to whom he has access.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The data and information gathered is then used by the detective to <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">analysed, compiled and prepared in such a way that the client receives the results of the investigation as a conclusive picture with the corresponding evidence and clues.<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> The results can be used in court.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">What does <\/span><\/b><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201e<\/span><\/b><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">MOT<\/span><\/b><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">-<\/span><\/b><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">certified detective agency<\/span><\/b><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201c<\/span><\/b><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> and <\/span><\/b><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201e<\/span><\/b><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">ZAD<\/span><\/b><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">-<\/span><\/b><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Certified detective<\/span><\/b><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201c<\/span><\/b><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">?<\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Detective is not an apprenticeship<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, and the term is not protected in Germany. The Vocational Training Act does not include the profession of detective. There is therefore no official training programme to become a detective. This also means that, in principle, anyone in Germany can call themselves a detective.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">There are three major professional associations for detectives in Germany: BDD, BID and DDV. They have <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">one<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> Professional Code of Conduct <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">for detectives and are committed to their principles.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Based on these professional regulations, a vocational training plan for detectives was developed in the mid-1980s. This was incorporated into the Central Centre for Training in the Detective Industry (ZAD). In this respect, ZAD certification is an indicator of the quality of the detective agency or detective. It ensures that the services are professional, reputable and legally compliant.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The T\u00dcV certification proves the same. <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">It is also based on <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">on the requirements of the ZAD examinations for detectives.<\/span> <span data-contrast=\"auto\">The DIN standard DIN SPEC 33452 regulates the framework conditions and requirements for the services of private detectives. <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">A reputable detective will therefore have completed training, for example the examination \u201eZAD-certified private investigator - IHK\u201c and ideally also certification in accordance with DIN <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">SPEC 33452, which is certified by T\u00dcV.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">How do I hire a detective agency or detective?<\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Anyone who hires a detective agency needs good reasons. A reputable detective may only take action if his client has a legitimate interest. The existence of a \u201elegitimate interest\u201c is enshrined in the Criminal Code and forms the basis for investigations by detectives. Because<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">:<\/span> <span data-contrast=\"auto\">E<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">an observation <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">for example <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">represents an encroachment on the personal rights of every individual. <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">That is why mere curiosity about what a person is doing does not constitute a legitimate interest. Serious detectives must therefore always check whether there is actually a legitimate interest in the case they are offered.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">How many detectives work on a case<\/span><\/b><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">?<\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This depends first of all on the size and scope of the case. But even in \u201esmaller\u201c cases, for example where only one target person is involved, it may be necessary to deploy several detectives. Several investigators are regularly deployed for surveillance, for example, as this is the only way to ensure that the target person does not notice the investigator.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Detective costs: <\/span><\/b><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">What does a private investigator cost?<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This depends on the detective's experience, but also on the size and nature of the assignment. Thefts are not always easy to solve and evidence can be found in no time at all. Eavesdropping defence, bugging protection and surveillance are time-consuming anyway. This is why detectives usually charge by the hour. It is possible to cap the budget in advance. Sometimes flat rates can also be agreed.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Tips from the security expert: What to look out for when hiring a detective?<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">It is important to note that if you want to hire a detective, you should make sure they are reputable. An assignment costs<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">t<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> Money, and of course you want this investment to be well invested. <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Certification in accordance with DIN SPEC 33452 (T\u00dcV certification) or a completed<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">r<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> A training programme with a passed ZAD examination is a good indicator. Of course, training and certification is no guarantee of excellent performance, just as an investigator who is not ZAD-certified is not necessarily bad. Certification merely provides a certain amount of orientation.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Furthermore, it should be checked in advance whether there is actually a legitimate interest. It is also important to bear in mind that the contract with the detective is a service contract. This means that the detective cannot guarantee a result.<\/span> <span data-contrast=\"auto\">guarantee.<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> If he finds nothing, payment must still be made.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">If there is a legitimate interest and a detective can deliver results that can be used in court, the costs of the detective are reimbursable under certain circumstances. <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Before<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> G<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">order the unsuccessful party to pay the costs.<\/span> <span data-contrast=\"auto\">take over the \u201e<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">were necessary for the appropriate prosecution or legal defence\u201c<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> - This may also involve costs for the deployment of a detective <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">or private investigator <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">include.
