Thionville. Louis, third year intern, in the footsteps of a private detective

Having the opportunity, at the age of 14, to do your internship to discover the professional world with a private detective, it’s a snap! While his little comrades have succeeded against all odds in finding a company ready to welcome them in the midst of a pandemic, Louis, a third-year student at La Providence, offered himself the luxury of being able to rub shoulders with a private detective for a few days. A singular experience that the schoolboy knows rare, and for which he expected many things.

The young Thionvillois was able to become aware of a certain reality of the profession, after five days of immersion. Of course, the job has exhilarating sides, but the administrative aspect, essential for reporting inquiries to clients, has definitely put him off. “There are a lot of constraints, feels the teenager, like the drafting of the report, the respect of the regulations as regards taking of photos, freedom at the judicial level. “

Real investigations to be elucidated

However, Louis admits that these few days spent with the intelligence professional made him experience incredible things. otably taking on the role of actor, when it comes to pretending to be a potential buyer of real estate. Costume that he wore as part of a mission entrusted by a real client, suspecting in a succession the concealment of goods by one of the members of the family.

There is also this other investigation requested by a boss who suspects his employee, on sick leave, of having found another job. And this other case of non-payment of alimony by a debtor from Thionville, who had managed to organize his insolvency, but which finally works, in view of the findings made by the improvised father-son duo.

Despite his rapid approach to the profession, Louis is certain of it: “I don’t think I will turn to this profession. You need memory, a good sense of observation, good communication… ”He knows that the future active that he will become will not join the closed circle of the 300 private research agents in France. The doubt is raised.
