How do you choose the best private investigator for your matter? A number of private investigators conduct professional investigations all across the state.

Leading Sydney private investigator Lipstick Investigations was recently asked to teach a quick investigation training course for some media journalists to coincide with the promotion of the Emmy award winning US television program “Homeland”. Lipstick Investigations, along with sister agencies Agency99 Investigations and Integral Investigations, and its training subsidiary The Investigative Collective organised a crash-course in being a Sydney private investigator corresponding with the release of Homeland Season 2.
