Who regulates Private Investigators in New York?

  1. The Department of State, Division of Licensing

  2. New York City Police Department

  3. Federal Bureau of Investigation

  4. Department of Criminal Justice Services

The correct answer is: The Department of State, Division of Licensing

Private Investigators in New York are regulated by the Department of State, Division of Licensing, not by the other options listed. The New York City Police Department and Federal Bureau of Investigation may work closely with private investigators on certain cases, but they do not regulate them. The Department of Criminal Justice Services may play a role in monitoring the actions of private investigators, but they are not the primary regulator.
