Providence Private Investigator
With a population of just over 1 million people, Rhode Island stays just below the national median regarding index crimes reported. Index crimes include violent crimes against people as well as property crimes. Crime ratings are often measured in terms of the number of offenses reported per 1,000 residents. In the State of Rhode Island, there are 2.48 violent crimes reported annually per 1,000 residents (compared to the national median of 3.9), while there are 26.77 property crimes reported annually per 1,000 residents (compared to the national median of 29.1). The city of Providence accounts for almost one-fifth of the State population, and it is rated safer than 6% of U.S. cities. Violent crime rates are very high in the city, with 11.85 reported annually per 1,000 residents, while property crimes are reported at 45.36 per 1,000 residents. Due in part to the small area of the state and the high density of the population in Providence, crimes per square mile are very high, rating at 495 per square mile in the city and 62 in the state, compared to 39.6 nationally. Because of these extremely high crime rates, local law enforcement does not have the resources or the manpower to track down every crime. Hiring a private investigator such as those licensed by ICS could be the difference between solving your crime or ending up with a cold case.
The State of Rhode Island regulates and licenses private investigators under the following restrictions: applicants must be citizens or resident aliens without any prior felony convictions. They must pass a thorough background check that will determine moral character, substance abuse issues, proclivity for honesty, and more. The State requires experience gained through either five years of on-the-job experience, a degree in criminal justice, or substantively equivalent training or experience.
