What document might a private investigator be required to serve as a witness summons?

  1. Summons to Witness along with Conduct Money

  2. Employee contract

  3. Search warrant

  4. Non-disclosure agreement

The correct answer is: Summons to Witness along with Conduct Money

A witness summons is a legal document that requires an individual to appear in court as a witness. Private investigators often serve these summonses on behalf of their clients, such as law firms or individuals involved in a legal case. This document is different from an employee contract, which outlines an individual's employment terms, or a search warrant, which gives law enforcement officials the right to search a specific location. A non-disclosure agreement is a contract between two parties, typically used to protect confidential information. None of these documents would require a private investigator to serve as a witness. Only the Summons to Witness, along with Conduct Money, specifically requires a private investigator to serve it.
