Senate Resolution by Senator Rodriguez designates July 24, 2025, as Private Investigators Day in Florida. This date is significant as it marks the birthday of Eugne-Franois Vidocq, a pioneer in modern policing and the founder of the first private police agency in 1832. The resolution highlights the importance of this day, which is celebrated as PI Day within the private investigator community.

The resolution also emphasizes Florida's notable presence in the private investigation field, with 8,233 private detectives and investigators employed in the state, making it one of the highest in the nation for this profession. Key metropolitan areas such as Miami, Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, and Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach have particularly high concentrations of private investigators, while the North Florida region also stands out for its significant number of private investigators compared to other nonmetropolitan areas in the U.S.
