England is not only the homeland of football, but also (alongside France) the birthplace of the modern detective profession. Numerous business and leisure trips have led many of our investigators to England. Kurtz employs several investigators with excellent language skills and very good local knowledge across different English regions. In addition, we maintain a close network of partnerships with reliable local private investigators in England.

Qualified Private Investigations by Licensed Detectives in England

The history of private investigators in Great Britain arguably begins with the London Bow Street Runners, a kind of security force often considered a precursor to the police. Interestingly, the profession had from the outset strong ties to the world of literature, from which our agency owner Patrick Kurtz also originates. The Bow Street Runners were instituted by the well-known writer Henry Fielding (author of "Tom Jones"). A century later, Charles Dickens made his friend Charles Frederick Field known as one of the first detectives in England and thus helped trigger the emergence of further detective agencies in England.

 

As in Germany, the profession of private investigator in England is unfortunately not bound to a mandatory qualification — despite its comparatively long history in the United Kingdom. There is, however, an important difference: investigators in England can obtain a licence and thus receive official confirmation of their competence. From our experience with colleagues on site, unlicensed private investigators can also deliver excellent work, but at your request we will gladly deploy only licensed investigators in England.

Areas of Work for Detective Agencies in Great Britain

The scope of work for detectives in England does not differ significantly from that in Germany. Apart from somewhat stereotypical “classics” such as surveillance for suspected infidelity, tracking down stalkers or investigations regarding alleged breaches of custody or access rights, modern detective work in England focuses very much on commercial investigations: checks on inactive field staff, surveillance of employees suspected of feigning incapacity for work, uncovering insurance fraud or falsified expense claims.

 

Whatever the issue: Kurtz Detective Agency England is at your disposal with qualified investigators in England — either local operatives or German contacts with extensive England experience. Contact us for free advice on investigative options suited to your case: +49 221 4558 0377.
