Why is an Arizona Private Investigator Bond Required?
The bond ensures that the investigator conducts business in a faithful and honest manner, including satisfactory performance of all obligations of trust and service. The bond protects the people of the State of Arizona, the Department of Public Safety, and all others employing the principal in the event of wrongful acts or violation of the state statutes and regulations by the principal, a member of the firm, partner, private investigator, agent or employee.
