Question

A person licensed by the LSBPIE only when investigating at his place of employment during the performance of his duties pursuant to law shall not be included under the definition of a private investigator and is not required to obtain a private investigator from the LSBPIE?

Answer 1

An individual conducting investigations at their workplace as part of their official duties, in accordance with law, is not deemed a private investigator by the LSBPIE and does not need to obtain a private investigator license.

Step-by-step explanation:

A person licensed by the LSBPIE (Louisiana State Board of Private Investigator Examiners) who is investigating only at their place of employment during the performance of their duties, as outlined by law, is not classified under the definition of a private investigator. Consequently, this individual is not required to obtain a private investigator license from the LSBPIE. This exemption allows for certain types of internal or proprietary investigations conducted by employees within the scope of their employment without needing the licensure that an independent private investigator would need.
