Louisiana State Board of Private Investigator Examiners

*** NOTICE ***

Due to the ongoing concerns surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, LSBPIE has adjusted its work policies to protect the health of our staff and licensees. The board office is closed to the public and staff members are working remotely. During this difficult period, we are committed to work with our PI’s to answer questions, renew licenses and process applications, although how we do that is changing. Effective immediately, all applications and renewals must be submitted by mail. The Louisiana State Police fingerprinting office is still providing in-person fingerprinting. If you have any questions, please email the office at info@lsbpie.com or leave a message at 225-763-3556. We are monitoring our email and voicemail. The Public can also make complaints by sending the information to LSBPIE, 7414 Perkins Rd. #120, Baton Rouge, La 70808. We appreciate your understanding.

Pat Englade Executive Director LSBPIE
