North Carolina Administrative Code › Title 14B - Public Safety › Chapter 16 - Private Protective Services Board › Section .1100 - TRAINING AND SUPERVISION FOR PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR ASSOCIATES › Section 16 .1101 - DEFINITIONS

Current through Register Vol. 39, No. 2, July 15, 2024
In addition to the definitions set forth in G.S. 74C, the
				  following definitions shall apply to this Section:
(1) "Private Investigator Associate" refers
				to an individual training to become a Private Investigator. A Private
				Investigator Associate may also be referred to as a "trainee" in these Rules. A
				Private Investigator Associate must complete three training levels as set out
				in this Section.
(2) "One-on-one
				Supervision" means person-to-person contact whereby the licensed investigator
				is personally and directly supervising or training the Associate. The training
				investigator must be the sponsoring licensed Private Investigator or any
				licensed Private Investigator who is a member of the sponsoring Private
				Investigator's firm, association, or corporation. The Private Investigator
				Associate may not subcontract his or her employment to another Private
				Investigator. However, the sponsoring Private Investigator may subcontract the
				Private Investigator Associate if the sponsor obtains prior written approval
				from the Board's Director by showing that the Private Investigator Associate
				will receive an educational benefit from the subcontract employment and the
				Associate will receive one-on-one supervision from another licensed Private
				Investigator.
(3) "Training
				Checklist" means the documents that shall state all areas of training and work
				that the Associate has performed. The sponsoring Private Investigator is
				responsible for maintaining the training checklist and providing a copy of the
				checklist to the Associate. The Training Checklist must reflect the date the
				Associate advances from one level to another. The training checklist must be
				signed by the Associate and the sponsoring Private Investigator at the end of
				each reporting period. In the event the Associate transfers employment to
				another Private Investigator, the Associate must provide the new sponsoring
				Private Investigator with the training checklist and the new sponsoring Private
				Investigator will then be responsible for the maintenance of the checklist. The
				Training Checklist must be updated on a quarterly basis for Level One
				Associates and on a yearly basis for Level Two and Level Three Associates. The
				training checklist must be maintained pursuant to Rule .0108 of this Chapter.
				When an Associate completes Level Three, the Training Checklist must be made a
				part of the Associate's application for a Private Investigator's license. The
				Board shall have immediate access to the training checklist upon
				request.
(4) "Associate Log" means
				the documents maintained by the Associate which shall list each case the
				Associate has worked, the number of hours spent on the case, and the type of
				work performed.
