Getting down to brass tacks, a private investigator, or a PI, is a detective. But unlike a regular detective, they do so to make money, not because they want to serve and protect. Now, the premium ones will refer to themselves as a risk management specialist and not as private investigators. Now, they may be allowed to carry a firearm, depending on the area of operations in which they operate in.
At is core, being bilingual means being able to speak more than one language. This can ranger from being fully fluent in one language and being able to say a few phrases in the other. Or it can be full on fluency in two. This fluency can range from being conversationally fluent, meaning a person can speak and understand that language, to knowing enough that they are able to pass as native speakers.
The most common avenue towards bilingualism is to be the offspring of an immigrant or two, where they will often converse in the local tongue of the country their parents moved to, while also speaking the dialect of the native country of their parents. This is a particularly effective means of becoming bilingual because this exposes an individual to multiple languages during the years when the brain has not fully developed speech.
There are a number of advantages to being bilingual. For one, it opens a whole new market, a whole new demographic of clients. For another, it adds to the investigative ability, as some countries have large immigrant communities who speak their mother tongues, and a PI who can talk to them can question them more effectively than someone who is monolingual.
Now, private investigators are small business owners. As such, they need to make a profit. Similar to lawyers, they will charge an hourly or daily fee. Bilingualism may affect that fee, as they may feel that they can charge higher if they possess more skills.
The thing about a professional is that the client can expect the job to get done. So it is very important to look into the background of a PI, to see if they have the skills needed to get the job done. This can be accomplished with a simple internet search.
A PI must be able to keep secret. Most people cannot keep a secret, but a PI has to be better. They have to be able to not blurt out the things that their client would rather not have blurted out.
Secrets and lies are a part of life. But a greater part is truth. The thing about truth is that it will generally win out in the end. No matter what obfuscations a person puts up, the truth can and, most of the time, will come out.
