Investigator Jobs in Colorado: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a investigator in Colorado?
To become a licensed private investigator in Colorado, you must apply through the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies, Division of Professions and Occupations, which oversees private investigator licensure in the state. Applicants generally need a background check, documented investigative or related professional experience, and a completed application. For investigators working in government, insurance, or corporate settings, a relevant degree in criminal justice or a related field is the most common educational path, and some employers also require specialized certifications in areas like fraud examination.
Which companies hire investigators in Colorado?
Companies currently hiring investigators in Colorado include State of Colorado, BECKER & COMPANY, and Kaiser Permanente, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Colorado's mix of large insurance carriers, state agencies, and financial services firms creates steady year-round demand for investigators with backgrounds in fraud, compliance, and public-sector casework.
Which Colorado cities have the most investigator jobs?
Denver, Aurora, and Longmont have the most investigator openings in Colorado. Denver drives the largest share given its concentration of insurance companies, corporate headquarters, and state government offices, while Colorado Springs and Aurora support demand through military installations, regional law enforcement, and large healthcare and financial services employers operating in those metro areas.
Are there remote investigator jobs in Colorado?
Yes, but they're rare. About 63% of investigator openings tied to Colorado are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting the hands-on, fieldwork-heavy nature of most investigative roles. The portions of the work most likely to be performed remotely include document review, digital research, database analysis, and report writing, while surveillance, interviews, and on-site inspections require physical presence.
How can I get hired as a investigator in Colorado with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path in Colorado is through claims adjuster, fraud analyst, or compliance associate roles at major insurance carriers or state agencies, where investigative work is part of the job from day one. Employers like USAA and Optum, both active in Colorado, hire associates into structured training programs that build investigative skills. Earning a Certified Fraud Examiner credential or completing a criminal justice degree at a Colorado institution strengthens your application significantly, and volunteering or interning with a county district attorney's office can provide the documented experience many employers require.
Where can I find and apply to investigator jobs in Colorado?
You can find and apply to investigator jobs in Colorado on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across the state. Search the roles that fit your background and apply directly to the ones that match your experience and location preferences.
