WV Private Investigator Fundamentals is a comprehensive professional training designed to establish the legal, ethical, and operational foundation required to operate credibly as a private investigator in West Virginia. This course focuses on authority and scope, professional ethics, information vs. evidence, documentation and case file discipline, client risk management, ethical surveillance, witness interviewing, OPSEC/INFOSEC, and court survivability.

The course emphasizes neutrality, restraint, and defensibility—preparing investigators to support civil and criminal matters responsibly while protecting clients, cases, and long-term professional credibility. This is not a tactics or shortcut course; it is career-survivability training built for real-world scrutiny by attorneys, courts, and regulators.
