In the state of Georgia, you are not the licensed PI. The Company provides your license.

In order to act as a licenced PI you have to work for a company that can "cover" you with their license. In order for the comapany to be allowed to "cover" you, you have to have prior law enforcement training OR a 4 year Criminal Justice degree.
