PNAI is a professional organization of licensed investigators incorporated in the State of Washington in 1947.

Service to Profession and Community

PNAI was founded to assist members in their continuing professional education, and to establish standards for the professional conduct and behavior.  This continues to be the primary mission of PNAI and its membership. PNAI is committed to promoting the well-being of the profession by working in concert with other state professional associations, other professional investigators, the state Department of Licensing and state legislators to develop regulations and laws which enhance our profession and protect the public. PNAI is dedicated to maintaining the highest ethical standards and practices; protection of our profession from unethical individuals or agencies; respect for client dignity, confidentiality, and privileged information; good fellowship and understanding within the organization; and a presence and legislative effort on behalf of the investigations industry.
