Private Investigators in Reading, Pennsylvania
In Pennsylvania, private investigators are required by law to be licensed by a local County Judge. Pennsylvania private investigators do not have to sit for a formal written exam, but applicants must have at least 3 years paid experience as an investigator. This experience can come from a variety of different positions, including being a Detective on the police force, a Sheriff, any position on the police force higher than patrolman, or any position with one of the United States investigative agencies. Applicants in Reading need to contact the Clerk of Courts to make an appointment with a Dauphin County Judge. In most cases, applicants will be investigated by a District Attorney; once this is completed, the County Judge will issue the private investigator license.

Reading, Pennsylvania is located 14 miles east of Harrisburg and is considered part of the Harrisburg-Carlisle Metropolitan area in Dauphin County. Reading is known as one of Pennsylvania’s biggest tourist attractions, and is named after Milton S. Reading, the creator of the Reading chocolate bar. ICS knows that private investigations in Reading are not the same as private investigations in Philly or Pittsburgh, and we treat each case as unique, never applying a blanket investigative approach to solving your case.
Adultery, Infidelity, Cheating Spouse and Unfaithful Partner Investigations
If your spouse or partner is cheating, you deserve to know the truth. Being the victim of infidelity is painful, but finding out for certain is the first step to getting your life back on track. If you are ready to know the truth, call ICS for your free consultation. An investigation by ICS can reveal the truth about a suspected affair, or provide the proof you need to take legal action in a divorce. Either way, having proof of the affair is the best way to protect yourself against any emotional, physical, or legal repercussions in the future.
If you suspect your partner of cheating, but you are not sure, here are a few common warning signs of an affair:
- Excessive or secretive computer usage
- Hiding their cell phone and making “personal” calls that they have to leave the room for
- Hiding personal finances, or a discrepancy between income and funds available
- Working uncharacteristically late, or taking last minute business trips
- A sudden increase in sexual desire, or a complete lack of sexual desire
- You have recently been diagnosed with an STD. Even STDs with long incubation periods, such as herpes or HIV, should be viewed as suspicious
- Abnormal activity on the home phone, including hang ups or hanging up after a specific number of rings
- “Lost” wedding band, or “lost” photos of you or your children from your partner’s purse or wallet
If you have noticed any of these suspicious behaviors in your partner or spouse, call ICS to begin your Cheating Partner Investigation today.
If you are married, infidelity can play a huge role in the divorce process. Pennsylvania is an at-fault state with a no-fault divorce option, so couples filing for divorce in Reading or elsewhere in the Harrisburg-Carlisle Metropolitan area have a few options for what type of divorce they would like to pursue. If you need to catch a cheater in action to prove your at-fault divorce claim, call ICS today to get the proof you need. The commonwealth of Pennsylvania practices equitable distribution during a divorce, which means that property is divided equitably, i.e. fairly, not equally. It is especially important to provide proof of an extramarital affair because Pennsylvania judges have a moderate amount of wiggle room when determining the distribution of assets and debts during the divorce. The term “equitable” is somewhat subjective, meaning that one judge may deem one distribution as fair while another would not. Even for unmarried couples, an unfaithful partner investigation will still protect your current and future interests.
The important thing to remember is that if you have been or are currently the victim of an affair, you are not alone. Statistically, 57% of men and 54% of women in the United States admit to having had an affair at some point. The average affair lasts for 2 years, and 53% of all marriages end in divorce, even if there was never any incident of adultery.
Missing Person and Locate Person Investigations
Missing persons cases in Reading are generally handled by local law enforcement and the FBI in collaboration with the AMBER alert system and the National Clearinghouse for Missing and Exploited Children. Contrary to popular belief, it is not necessary to wait 24 hours to report a missing person, and doing so can be detrimental to the investigation. A private investigator can assist law enforcement officers and can work to solve many cases that police are unable to investigate or unable to solve. The police and FBI are limited in the types of cases they are able to accept, leaving hundreds of missing persons cases unsolved. This is especially true for lost person cases, which the police will not touch. If you are looking for a lost friend, lover, family member, call ICS to begin the search today. Missing and lost person cases can be in attempt to find loved ones, or they can be focused around finding a thief, defrauder, blackmailer, extortionist, or for legal reasons, like process serving. ICS always offers a free consultation to discuss your case so you can make an informed decision before you chose to hire a private investigator.
