Become a Licensed Investigator
With the increase in security threats nationwide, the demand for detectives along with criminal and private investigators is on the rise. Now is the time to get the training you need to enter this exciting career path.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), demand for detectives and criminal investigators will increase by 18 percent between 2006 and 2016—a job growth rate that is faster than the national average.
This demand is fueled by a number of factors, including increased security concerns; identity theft; the nation’s growing dependency on computers and the need to protect cyber information; the growing demand for investigators in the legal system; and the need for Corporate America to screen and investigate employees.
The New Age Protection Training Academy can train you to become an investigator.
