Private Investigators are hired by a company or lawyer or individual. Elliott is hired by the city which holds a higher power.Another View: The character (Elliot Stabler) is NOT a private investigator. He can make arrests because his character (portrayed by Christopher Meloni) is an NYPD detective. See below link:
