Mississippi's Superior
Private Investigators
Discreet, court-ready answers for individuals and families across Mississippi — with a defined plan and price before we begin. You talk directly to leadership, never a call center. No retainer burning. No surprises.
For Private Clients
You deserve answers —
not a bill you can't predict.
"Most people hire a private investigator once in their life. In a state with no licensing board, it should not feel like a gamble."
Whether you're facing a divorce in Jackson, trying to locate a family member in Southaven, protecting a business on the Gulf Coast, or simply need the truth about someone in your life — you're not an attorney with a firm behind you. You're a person making a serious decision, usually under stress, usually for the first time.
That matters more in Mississippi than almost anywhere else. Mississippi has no state private investigator license, no state exam, and no oversight board reviewing anyone's work. Anyone can call themselves an investigator here. Delator Group MS was built on the belief that the absence of a legal requirement is not the absence of a standard — so we vet, supervise, and hold our own investigators accountable ourselves.
You get a real plan, a real timeline, and a real price before anyone goes into the field. Your case is matched to a verified specialist instead of whoever is free that week. And what we find is documented so it holds up — in chancery court, in mediation, or in the conversation you've been dreading.
A Defined Price, Up Front
A written agreement outlining scope, rates, and any retainer terms before fieldwork begins. One clear pricing structure statewide — no county-by-county guesswork, no vague fees, no retainer burning.
Vetted Where the State Doesn't
Mississippi has no licensing board to verify an investigator, so Delator does it internally. Every member is experience-verified, background-cleared, and held to ongoing performance standards.
Discretion From the First Call
Every consultation is free and confidential. Surveillance is covert, records research is quiet, and the person you're asking about never knows an investigation took place unless you decide to tell them.
You Speak With Leadership
No call centers, no intake scripts, no layers. You explain your situation once, to someone who can actually make decisions about your case.
Statewide, Locally Rooted
From DeSoto County down to the Gulf Coast, the investigator on your case knows the county, the chancery court, and the roads — Hinds, Harrison, DeSoto, Forrest, Lee, Lauderdale, Rankin and Madison included.

→Who We Are
A license was never the point.
Accountability was.
"Mississippi doesn't require a license. We hold ourselves to a higher standard anyway."
Mississippi is one of only a handful of states that doesn't require private investigators to hold a state license. That means anyone can hang a shingle and call themselves an investigator — no exam, no bonding requirement, no state oversight body checking their work.
Delator Group MS exists because the absence of a legal requirement isn't the absence of a standard. We built the same centralized command structure, internal vetting process, and zero-tolerance policy that defines Delator Group in states that do require licensing — and applied it here, where nothing requires us to.
Every investigator who carries the Delator name in Mississippi answers to the same leadership, the same performance bar, and the same client-first mandate as anywhere else Delator operates. The state may not ask for that. We do.
Centralized Command
Every Delator MS investigator operates under unified oversight and a single leadership hierarchy — not a loose network of independent operators with no one holding them to anything.
Verified Excellence
With no state licensing board to do it for us, Delator does the vetting ourselves. Every investigator is experience-verified, background-cleared, and held to ongoing performance standards.
Client-First Philosophy
Delator MS was designed around what Mississippi clients and attorneys actually need — not around what's convenient in a state with minimal regulatory oversight.
Transparent Pricing
One clear pricing structure statewide. No surprise fees, no county-by-county guesswork, no negotiating in the dark.
No state board is
checking our work.
So we check it ourselves.
Mississippi doesn't require a license, a bond, or a state exam to work as a private investigator. Most agencies treat that as permission to cut corners. Delator Group MS treats it as no excuse not to hold the line.
