Private Investigator Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent the last eight years building a practical skill set in investigations, data gathering, and discreet reporting. In the last role I handled a portfolio of cases for [Previous Company] that included shoplifting and theft inquiries, typically delivering case files within 48 hours of collection. I’d bring a calm, methodical approach to [Company Name], with a track record of keeping information tight and actionable. I’m comfortable with interviewing witnesses and suspects, conducting background checks, and assembling evidence packages for solicitor use. I’ve used surveillance awareness and field notes to corroborate financial position, occupation, and whereabouts information while maintaining strict privacy and ethics standards. I value concise reporting and clear recommendations to help teams decide the next step quickly. One case stands out for me. A growing shoplifting pattern required coordinated inquiries across multiple sites, plus data from point-of-sale systems and external records. I mapped the timeline, secured witness statements, and produced a 12-page report that pinpointed the pattern and the responsible individual. The client used the information to halt losses, and the site managers reported a noticeable drop in incident frequency over the following quarter. I’d be glad to discuss how my hands-on approach fits [Company Name]. I’m available for a chat this week and can join a call or meet in person to talk through the role and the current priorities. Kind regards, [Your Name]
