Striving for Excellence

The Indiana Society of Professional Investigators, Inc., known as INspi, traces its beginnings back to 1968, when a group of private investigators and security providers formed the Indiana Association of Private Detectives. The IAPD saw its numbers and influence steadily decline into the early 1990s. Efforts of a few agency owners to bring the association into the emerging information age were routinely resisted by the leadership.

In January 1996, Gene Plummer became president and, with the assistance of Secretary-Treasurer Glenn R. Elmore, contacted those who had dropped out of the association with a simple proposition: “Let’s rebuild the organization into one that is truly an association run for the benefit of its entire membership.”

A new board was formed, key members returned to the association, and new ones were recruited. Gene used the one tool that had given control of the IAPD to a select few---its constitution! With the power of his gavel and the irony of the moment, Gene set out to develop a new constitution and bylaws that would ensure that the association could no longer be controlled by one person. It would be governed by a board, but controlled by the members.

On July 11, 1997, with the adoption of the new constitution and bylaws, the old IAPD became the new Indiana Society of Professional Investigators---INspi. The membership vote was formalized with a corporation filing with the Indiana Secretary of State.

Today, INspi offers those programs and benefits that Gene envisioned in 1996:

  • Continuing education in the various areas of investigation and security services;
  • Legislative and legal news that impacts our members’ business interests, acting as our members’ voice in the Indiana statehouse, and contributing to the legislative effort on the national front through our affiliation with the National Council of Investigation & Security Services (NCISS);
  • Marketing and networking opportunities offered through our website and at the various seminars and conferences we sponsor;
  • Promoting further information and networking opportunities through the publication of our journal, The Indiana Investigator; our newsletter, INspinews; and our e-mail listserv, moc.spuorgoohay@IPSNI.

INspi believes that only through the voice of our professional associations will we be able to successfully impact the continuing onslaught of proposed privacy legislation in a manner that will protect both our legitimate business interests and also offer necessary privacy protections for the public.
