IDS Announces New Resource for Court Appointed
Criminal Defense Attorneys

IDS has launched a searchable database of private investigators that will help attorneys find investigators for court appointed criminal cases: Investigator Directory.

Attorneys may access the database on the IDS Website, enter in the criteria for their specific case, and get a list of investigators that fit their needs.

Searchable criteria based on specific case needs include location, languages spoken, and area of expertise.

Click below to access Investigator Directory:

Private Investigator Directory

If you are PI and wish to be added to the searchable directory, please complete the form here: https://www.ncids.org/submit-profile-to-private-investigator-directory/

This new tool is the brainchild of Sarah Olson, Forensic Resource Counsel for IDS, and Beth Winston of Winston Investigative Services.

For more information about this new tool, take a look at Sarah Olson’s blog: https://www.ncids.org/2023/private-investigator-directory-added-to-ids-website/
