About the association
ACI was created to give investigators a non-competitive, Spirit-filled professional environment.
The association exists to integrate the investigative profession with Christian beliefs, standards, and principles while assisting the individual, strengthening the profession, and giving glory to God.
This new member portal expands the original informational site into a practical network where members can maintain profiles, share businesses, pay dues, request referrals, and communicate with one another.
What the new portal adds
The rebuilt website is designed to move ACI from a static information site into a useful member platform. Members can maintain their profiles, display their businesses, participate in private discussions, and manage dues.
About ACI
The ACI Mission
ACI was founded to support the investigative profession in a non-competitive Christian atmosphere.
The Association of Christian Investigators was founded with two primary functions in mind:
First, ACI was designed to provide a Spirit-filled organization which would serve to promote the investigative profession in a non-competitive atmosphere.
Second and foremost, ACI was designed to glorify the Lord and not man.
ACI’s mission is to integrate the investigative profession with Christian beliefs, standards, and principles. In doing so, ACI intends to assist the individual, the profession, and to give glory to God.
Welcome
Dear Brother/Sister in Christ
A welcoming message to current and prospective members.
Thank you for taking the time and effort to become part of an organization that is glorifying God while serving the needs of investigators.
Just taking the first step of becoming a new member says a lot about your character and desire to serve the Lord.
In this website, you will find information regarding the mission of the Association of Christian Investigators, membership requirements, and how you can get involved.
ACI has historically included more than 1,500 members throughout the United States and many additional countries. ACI was selected as Association of the Year for 1996 by the National Association of Investigative Specialists.
May God bless you, your family, and your business.
Respectfully,
Kelly E. Riddle

Goals
The goals of the Association of Christian Investigators
ACI is designed to strengthen members and the profession while preserving Christian integrity.
The goals of ACI are intended to enhance the effectiveness of the association:
• Uphold high standards and integrity.
• Assist individual investigators by sharing industry-related issues while uplifting the spirit of the investigator.
• Avoid becoming a political machine, while bringing issues directly affecting the investigative profession to members in an unbiased manner.
• Provide a source of referrals between Christian investigators and Christians in need of an investigator.
The new portal supports these goals through member profiles, business listings, direct messaging, referrals, resources, and member-only networking.
Promotion
Promoting ACI and its members
ACI exists for the benefit and use of investigative professionals.
ACI hopes each member will do their part in promoting the association and using ACI as a source of promotion for their business.
Historically, ACI has been promoted through word of mouth, the website, mail outs, media exposure, and professional relationships.
The new portal expands that purpose with public member profiles, approved business listings, searchable directories, member-to-member messages, referral posts, and resources.
ACI Referrals: Members are encouraged to assist one another in outsourcing investigative assignments to Christian private investigators throughout the world. ACI is not responsible for the work product in these situations and acts only as a source for locating investigators in different geographic areas.
ACI Conventions: As membership grows, ACI may revisit meetings, conferences, and gathering opportunities based on member needs.
ACI Social Networking: Private networking areas should be used with professionalism, confidentiality, and a welcoming atmosphere.
