Private investigator licensing in The Gambia
No. The Gambia has no specific private investigator licence.
The Gambia has no law that licenses private investigators. The Private Security Guard Companies Act 2011 requires a Ministry of Interior licence only for 'licensable conduct', meaning watching, securing, guarding or patrolling premises and carrying money to protect against crime (s. 2), and it forbids anyone in a private guard business from calling themselves or acting as a private detective (s. 28). Investigation outside a guard company is not regulated as a profession, though general criminal and privacy law apply.1
