Serving portions of the Southern United States since 2005.
Jackson Mississippi Based Private Investigators!
Richard Brooks Investigations, LLC, or RBI, is a professional, licensed and insured investigative agency based out of the Jackson Mississippi metro area. We conduct civil and criminal defense investigations across the Southern United States. We also provide expert witness testimony. Currently, our investigators are able to accept and cover cases in Mississippi and portions of Texas, Louisiana, Alabama and the Florida panhandle. We were one of the first 12 Private Investigators to be licensed in Alabama.
Our private investigators are equipped with the latest investigative equipment, tools, experience and training to successfully complete any investigative assignment, day or night. Additionally, all of our investigators are trained in the most up to date and current investigative techniques and laws regarding proper evidence acquisition.
WARNING: MISSISSIPPI HAS NO LICENSING REQUIREMENT FOR PRIVATE INVESTIGATORS!
Mississippi remains one of approximately 6 states remaining in the country that does not require PI licensing of any kind. Did you know that Mississippi is the only state remaining in the southern half of the United States that has NO licensing requirement for Private Investigators? Anybody in the state can become a Private Investigator, regardless of their background. That means convicted felons, sexual predators, people who have been denied a PI license from other states, etc…, can call themselves a PI in Mississippi with no questions asked. Richard A. Brooks, a four time President of the Mississippi Professional Investigators Association and the current Mississippi Chapter Director for the Association of Christian Investigators, has tried to do something about it:

The Lack of Licensing for Private Investigators in Mississippi
In 2014, Mr. Brooks wrote a bill and with the assistance of a Mississippi Representative, the bill later became HB713. That potential new law would have required all PI’s to be licensed in the state of Mississippi. This law would have required experience as a private investigator and successful completion of a background check for all private investigator applicants. The bill passed the Mississippi House of Representatives unanimously but died in the Mississippi Senate on March 3, 2015. In 2016 and 2017, Richard Brooks authored newer versions of the bill with the assistance of a Mississippi Senator. Both bills died in the Mississippi Senate. Mr. Brooks continues to fight for legislation to ensure the public is protected from unscrupulous and untrained PI's.
Do You Want a Trained, Experienced, Insured, Licensed Private Investigator to Handle Your Case?
Wouldn’t you prefer a licensed professional to work your case and provide testimony later? When hiring a PI, ask the following questions: Is the PI licensed anywhere and are they adequately trained? Do they receive regular continuing education? Do they hold any certifications? What associations do they belong to? Can and will the PI testify on your behalf? Remember, it is a felony to provide private investigative services without a license in many states. Also, if your case goes to court and your investigator was not licensed properly, all of the information he or she obtained cannot be used. Use caution when hiring a Private Investigator, especially in non licensed states such as Mississippi.
Why Should RBI Be Your Investigations Agency?
We are located in the Jackson, Mississippi area. Some agencies claim they conduct investigations in Mississippi strictly because the state is not licensed. The majority of these companies are actually located outside of Mississippi. These PIs travel in and out of the state unencumbered.
At RBI, our goal is not to simply investigate a case and meet our client’s expectations. Our goal is to offer top shelf customer service and exceed in all areas of our client’s satisfaction.
We understand that the decision to hire a private investigator is not an easy one. At RBI, we want to make this process as easy and comfortable to our clients as possible. We will assure each client that we are very discreet and professional with all our cases. Every case that is handled by RBI is handled with total confidentially and respect for our client’s privacy.
We never discuss our investigation with anyone other than our clients directly.
You can have our guarantee that your case will be handled with the best customer service attitude. Our licensed investigators will keep you informed and up to date across every step of the investigation to help you make the decisions that matter when they matter.
The RBI Difference!
Today’s consumers expect tireless efforts and outstanding results from a private investigations agency. They also expect top-shelf customer service that is designed to fit their needs. This is why we at Richard Brooks Investigations offer our clients the tenacity of old school investigative work with the speed and accuracy of the most current practices and technology. Our commitment to our clients allow us to tailor each of our investigations to fit our clients’ individual needs while providing a stellar service that they deserve. We operate 24/7 at RBI.
