Ontario Private Investigator Practice Exam

Undercover investigations should only be initiated after all other investigative techniques have been exhausted or are not applicable. This is because undercover investigations can be expensive and time-consuming, so it's important to make sure that they are necessary before beginning one. Additionally, if an undercover investigation is initiated too early, it can compromise the investigation or lead to inaccurate results.

Option A is incorrect because initiating an undercover investigation at the beginning of an investigation may not allow for all other options to be considered or utilized. Option C is incorrect because undercover investigations should never be solely based on the request of a client - they should only be initiated if all other investigative techniques have been exhausted first. Option D is incorrect because the decision to initiate an undercover investigation should not solely rely on the feelings of the investigator, as it may not be the most effective or necessary course of action.
