LPDAM Case Files: Membership JOE: Sean, is every licensed private investigator a LPDAM member? SEAN: Joe, not every Massachusetts licensed private investigator meets the high standards of LPDAM membership. To be a LPDAM member, you must have a Massachusetts private investigator license; your business practices meet our ethical expectations, and the member should be a person of good character within the community. Members also invest in their businesses, which leads to better outcomes that stand up in court. It is good to note, that every LPDAM member has passed a background check and understands the strictest standards of confidentiality. JOE: What percentage of licensees are LPDAM members? SEAN: Joe, according to the State Police, our licensing agency; over 50% of all Massachusetts working private investigators are LPDAM members. Being an LPDAM member is a privilege and respected throughout the Massachusetts & the nation. Our members produce and our network throughout Massachusetts drives business to each other. As a nonprofit Association, we negotiated some great benefits for our members. Our members receive a 40% discount on business insurance premiums; get discounted cellphones; access to industry business plans; educational resources as well as legislative benefits to protect their licenses. JOE: What is the cost of membership? SEAN: Joe, LPDAM membership is only $125- a year. It is the best industry-wide Association value. We keep our yearly membership low because we have such high expectations of our membership. I always say, you can’t buy your way into LPDAM – you have to earn your membership. Our members are industry leaders and offer quality services to the consumer. We love what we do! Remember, you’re in good hands with LPDAM.
