Alberta PI License case studies

This page is a study resource for people preparing for the Alberta Private Investigator Licence examination. It is an independent preparation aid and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the Government of Alberta. The credential itself is a provincial licence that individuals must hold in order to work as a private investigator in Alberta; it is intended for new entrants to the field, for investigators moving in from other provinces, and for staff whose duties include surveillance, interviews, background inquiries and report writing. The exam is expected to test four broad areas: relevant Alberta legislation and regulations governing private investigation; investigative techniques, evidence handling and documentation; legal powers, limits and ethical conduct; and privacy, records and professional responsibility. The Alberta PI License case studies are 5 cases and about 2,597 words.
