Technical Surveillance Countermeasures

Technical surveillance countermeasures (TSCM) eavesdropping detection and bug sweeps are designed to detect any means of eavesdropping or electronic bugs in use at your home, office or vehicle. The TSCM professionals with ICS are highly qualified, certified and accredited. Whether your case involves suspicion of corporate espionage, stalking, intrusion into your private affairs, extortion, identity theft, or any other malicious attempt to harm you through information theft, the TSCM professionals at ICS are ready to assist you with an in-depth, comprehensive survey. A technical surveillance countermeasures sweep with ICS involves both physical and electronic inspection of the area of concern to determine if any means of eavesdropping or information theft are in use, like infrared, laser, audio recording, video recording, phone taps, GPS tracking, hidden cameras, wireless microphones, radio transmitters, cell phone interceptors, and more. If you suspect that one of these devices, or any other means of eavesdropping or information theft, have been used against you, contact ICS today to begin a TSCM eavesdropping detection and bug sweep. A technical surveillance countermeasures eavesdropping detection and bug sweep is a service offered by ICS and is not itself an investigation; ICS will work with a Florida private investigator to report findings and take action in the event of a discovery of illegal surveillance activities.

If you need a Florida background check or an investigation involving one, the professionals at ICS are ready to work for you to provide the discreet and confidential service you need. ICS has been helping people in Florida just like you get results since 1967.

Qualifications Requirement:
The following information is a summary of the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services Division of Licensing documentation on the Private Investigative Industry and Florida Statutes Title XXXII Chapter 493. Please see the websites listed above to view these documents and for more detailed and complete information.

The State of Florida has five types of licenses for private investigators, broken down into a category for individuals and another for agencies. Agencies can apply for an "A" license, which is for a Private Investigation Agency, or an "AA" license, for a Private Investigation Agency Branch Office. Individuals can obtain a "C" license, for Private Investigator, a "CC" license for a Private Investigator Intern, or a "M" (or "MA") license for a Manager of a Private Investigation Agency.

Florida Statutes require that in order to be licensed as a private investigator, each individual must:

• be at least 18 years of age;
• be of good moral character;
• have no disqualifying criminal history of mental illness or alcohol or controlled substance abuse;
• be a citizen or legal resident alien of the United States or have been granted authorization to seek employment in this country by the United States Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services;

All applicants for a private investigator license undergo criminal history checks with the State of Florida and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Each Private Investigation Agency must have a minimum of one physical location within the State of Florida from which the normal business of the agency is conducted, and this location shall be considered the primary office for that agency in Florida. Also, each private investigation agency and branch office location must have a minimum of one designated, properly licensed manager.

A licensed Private Investigator in the State of Florida may sponsor up to six Private Investigator Interns. Internship is intended to be a learning process, and sponsors shall assume a training status by providing direction and control of interns. Sponsors are not to allow interns to operate independently or perform activities that do not enhance the intern's qualifications for licensure.

Reciprocity: Florida recognizes and has formal reciprocity agreements with several states, in which a Private Investigator may conduct business so long as: the investigation is initiated in the investigator's home state, the investigator spends no more than 30 days per case conducting an investigation in another state, and the investigator does not solicit business while in another state. The exception to these rules is Tennessee, which only allows for 15 days of out-of-state time for an investigation.

Official reciprocity with Georgia Private Investigator License, California Private Investigator License, Tennessee Private Investigator License, Louisiana, Oklahoma, North Carolina Private Investigator License, Virginia Private Investigator License.

Testing: Florida requires a Private Investigator to pass an examination if applying for a "C" or "M" (or "MA") license.

Fees: Fees for Agencies are $450.00.

Fees for Private Investigators are $167.00.

Fees for Interns are $152.00.

Renewal Information: Renewal fees for Agencies are $450.00.
