WHAT IS AN ASSOCIATION? A group of people organized for a joint purpose or a connection or cooperative link between people or organizations. What is TPIA? Tennessee Professional Investigators Association is a non-profit professional association for licensed private investigators. TPIA is one of three major investigative associations in Tennessee, was established in the early 1990s by several great local investigators.

The association assists in annual training to help investigators achieve their required 12 hours of CPE’s before renewal of the individual investigators license. The association has a Code of Ethics of professionalism that investigators stand by and apply on a daily basis - this is what TPIA is. Why do we need TPIA? TPIA offers the avenue for local investigators to create professional relationships. Networking thru TPIA you are able to support and help one another in reaching professional goals. The association sponsors numerous events thoughtout the year that will allow you to connect with other local investigators or other professionals in various investigative fields.
