How PISA Began
In 1984, a group of private investigators and security officers met at the home of Evelyn and Bill Smith, leading forces in the security industry for a number of years, as well as founders of the Central Security Agency, and Central Training Academy.
Their goal was to create a viable voice within the industry. By the end of the evening, the foundation was laid and the Professional Investigators and Security Association was born.
