What this licence is
Licensed Private Detective Agency is one of the 264 licence categories the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation issues, under the Detective Board. Practising a regulated profession without a current licence is an offence in Illinois, which is why IDFPR publishes this register for the public to check.
6 of the 423 active licences in this category carry at least one disciplinary action in IDFPR's file — 1.4%.
This site publishes that count and no more. It never names who, and never says why: in Illinois a licence can be suspended for unpaid state taxes, child support arrears or a defaulted student loan, none of which says anything about how someone does their job. The detail is on IDFPR's own record and on an individual entry here, which has no address a search engine can reach. Why that line is drawn there.
