The Indiana Association of Professional Investigators (IAPI) is a statewide nonprofit founded in 1996. We advance the standards, education, and ethics of private and special investigators across Indiana, uniting licensed professionals from Indianapolis to every corner of the state.

Membership is open to licensed Indiana private investigators, qualifying investigative specialists, retired investigators, and students pursuing a career in the profession. Associate and supporting memberships are also available for allied professionals.

An active Indiana PI license is required for full Active membership. Investigators without a current Indiana license may qualify for Associate or Student membership depending on their background.

Annual dues are $100 for Active, $50 for Associate, $25 for Student, and $125 for Corporate membership. You can sign up and pay online, and we’ll email you a reminder with a renewal link before your membership expires. See the Membership page for details.
