The department of labor indicates strong growth in field of private investigation. According to the DOL, "The majority of States and the District of Columbia require private detectives and investigators to be licensed. Licensing requirements vary, however. Seven States—Alabama, Alaska, Colorado, Idaho, Mississippi, Missouri, and South Dakota—have no Statewide licensing requirements, some States have few requirements, and many others have stringent regulations."
You should start by looking for certification programs in your state. Einvestigator.com has links to each states licensing requirements and the associated trade organizations. It might be a good starting point.
