What is an Oregon private detective bond?
Oregon Revised Statute 703.415 requires individuals file a $5,000 surety bond before obtaining a private investigator or private detective license. The state's official form is titled the “State of Oregon Department of Public Safety Standards and Training Surety Bond” but is more commonly known as the “private detective bond” or “private investigator bond.” This bond form specifically requires licensees perform all investigator work as defined in Oregon Revised Statutes Chapter 703 and pay all amounts ordered by the state resulting from any negligent/improper work or breach of contract. This bond form also forbids private investigators from disclosing personal information under ORS 802.179(18) except as permitted under ORS 802.181 or required by a court order.
