Modern Private Investigators
Increasingly, modern PIs prefer to be known as "professional investigators" or Licensed Private Investigators (LPI's) rather than "private investigators" or "private detectives". This is a response to the image that is sometimes attributed to the profession and an effort to establish and demonstrate the industry to be a proper and respectable profession. However, in 2009 a Toronto Star journalist obtained a private investigator's licence in Ontario with no training, and reported that other Ontarians had done the same.

Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or private:
“We can paint unrealistic pictures of the juggler—displaying her now as a problem-free paragon of glamour and now as a modern hag. Or we can see in the juggler a real person who strives to overcome the obstacles that nature and society put in her path and who does so with vigor and determination.”
—Faye J. Crosby (20th century)
“But the abstract conception
Of private experience at its greatest intensity
Becoming universal, which we call “poetry,”
May be affirmed in verse.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
