July 24th

Private Investigators provide a fundamental and vital role in society today, and have proven time after time to be an extremely valuable asset to society. National and International Private Investigators Day is July 24th, commemorating the birth year of Eugene Francois Vidocq, the very first Private Investigator who founded the first known detective agency in 1833. Vidocq’s birthday is on July 24, 1775 or 24/7 as much of the European countries place the day before the month. Professional, licensed private investigators (P.I.s) in this area are joining an estimated 80,000 private investigators across the United States in observing National Private Investigators Day on July 24, 2014. Private Investigators in the United States will be joined by their international colleagues.
