We are an independent lobby and a think tank: the unified voice of the private detective before society and its institutions. We do not duplicate professional bodies or firms — we complement them.
CLAVE stands for Collective for Legality, Authenticity, Veracity and Evidence. Each of these words captures the essence of our work and the reason we exist.
01CCollectiveThe voice of all, not of a few.
02LLegalityThe framework that provides guarantees.
03AAuthenticityFacts, not narratives.
04VVeracityThe ultimate goal of any investigation.
05EEvidenceThe evidence that upholds the truth.
Objectives

Our goal is to raise the profile of the private detective, strengthen their presence across business sectors and society, and bring the legislation that governs the profession into line with the country’s economic and social reality.
