Speaking With A Bilingual Private Investigator

By Michael Ward


People have secrets, little nuggets of information about themselves that they would rather keep hidden. Take for example, a husband. By all accounts they can be loving fathers and terrific providers, but if they have an extramarital affair, then it would be reasonable to infer that they would rather not have something like that come to life, as it can be great ammunition in divorce proceedings. Of course, an affair, or really any dirty little secret, is not going to stay hidden for long. The fact of the matter is that the truth always comes out. Now, some of the time, those secrets come out thanks to the efforts of a bilingual private investigator.

A private investigator is, in essence, a detective. However, unlike a police officer, they are not in the game to protect and serve. They are in it to make money, to make a profit. Many of them will have a background in law enforcement, and this background will be where they receive their investigative training.

Bilingualism is, at its core, being able to talk in more than one language. Now, there is a scale to this. One end of the scale is knowing some basic words and phrases in a second language. But the other end is being fluent in two dialects. Now, the other end of scale exists on its own spectrum, with one end being conversational and the other being essentially a native speaker.

A lot of the time, individuals become bilingual by learning a second language. This is especially prominent with second generation immigrants. Most of the time, they will speak the local dialect of the country they were born into outside of the home. Inside of the home, however, is a different story entirely, with them speaking in the native language of their parents. They are able to do this because as children, they were exposed to the languages during the formative years when they were still learning how to talk. It is actually posited by experts that the best time to learn another dialect is during the early childhood, the early developmental stages where the brain is still in its relative infancy.

There are a number of advantages to being bilingual. For one, it opens a whole new market, a whole new demographic of clients. For another, it adds to the investigative ability, as some countries have large immigrant communities who speak their mother tongues, and a PI who can talk to them can question them more effectively than someone who is monolingual.

Now, while police officers get a government paycheck, benefits, and a pension, a PI is all on their own. Which means that any costs and bills they have are going to come out of their own pockets. As such, they need to charge a fee for their services.

Any service provider is going to need to be able to provide that service. Which means they have to be reliable. The best way to make sure a PI is reliable to go on their website, or to just look into their background on the internet, which should lead to client reviews.

Attorney client privilege states that if there is a reasonable expectation of privacy, then whatever a client says to their lawyer is privileged information and cannot be divulged. Many a PI will operate in the same manner. Discretion is, after all, the better part of valor.

The world is built on information. But there are things that some would rather now have known. But there professionals who can bring those things to light.
