WHO ARE WE?

HOW ARE WE DIFFERENT FROM ALDONYS, NJLPIA, API-SP, NCISS, ACFE, WAD, ETC.?

SPI IS A FRATERNAL ORGANIZATION, MADE UP OF PROFESSIONAL MEMBERS!

    The Society of Professional Investigators, Inc. is a nonprofit organization, incorporated in 1956. Our membership includes investigators from City, State and Federal organizations, both active and retired; Private Investigators, Corporate Investigators & Security Professionals, CFE's, CPA's and  Attorneys.

     The Society is dedicated to a new vitality, with a strong commitment to networking and establishing open dialogues with security - and investigative - related organizations, such as: The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, American Academy of Professional Law Enforcement, Inc., National Law Enforcement Associates, Retired Detectives Association of NYCPD, Associated Licensed Detectives of NYS Inc., National Council of Investigation & Security Services, Inc., ASIS International, World Association of Detectives, Inc., New Jersey Licensed Private Investigators Association, Association of Professional Investigators and Security Providers (NJ) and others. 

     Over the years, our distinguished guest speakers and honorees included the late Senator Robert F. Kennedy; US Attorney and former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani; James Fox of the FBI; NYC Police Commissioners Kelly and Bratton; and many other law enforcement, political, business, and judicial leaders.
