Kentucky requires private detectives and investigating companies to be licensed by the Kentucky Board of Licensure for Private Investigators (KRS Chapter 329A), and state law preempts local regulation. The regulator is the Kentucky Board of Licensure for Private Investigators.
My case involves Indiana as well as Brandenburg. Can that be included?
Yes. Licensing and recording laws differ between states, so each part of the work is coordinated with a detective licensed where it takes place, under one point of contact.
What should I know before hiring a private detective in Meade County?
Most records that matter in Meade County are kept at the county level: court files with the clerk, and deeds with the county recorder or register of deeds. A good detective searches those originals rather than relying on online summaries, and confirms identity so records aren't attributed to the wrong person.
The person I'm concerned about works outside Brandenburg. Can surveillance follow them?
Yes, within the law. Mobile surveillance can follow a routine into Louisville and back, from public places. Plans account for travel time, and work in another state is handled by a detective licensed there.
Can an investigation in Brandenburg extend to Fort Knox or Harrison Township, Harrison County?
Yes. People rarely stay inside municipal lines. Work that starts in Brandenburg can continue in nearby communities such as Fort Knox, Harrison Township, Harrison County, Corydon, planned as one engagement and carried out by detectives licensed for each place the work goes.
Can I record a phone call in Kentucky?
Kentucky generally allows a participant to record a conversation (one-party consent). Recording a conversation you're not part of is generally illegal. This is general information, not legal advice.
