Only an investigative agency can initiate a PSI request.

A Personnel Security Investigation (PSI) request can be initiated by various authorized entities and is not limited solely to investigative agencies. Organizations that require personnel security clearances for their employees, such as government agencies, military branches, or certain private sector companies with security requirements, are also empowered to initiate PSI requests.

This process is crucial for determining an individual’s suitability for access to classified or sensitive information. The ability for non-investigative agencies to initiate such requests allows for a more efficient and comprehensive approach to personnel security, ensuring that all relevant individuals can be assessed appropriately based on their specific roles and responsibilities.

Therefore, stating that only an investigative agency can initiate a PSI request is inaccurate as it overlooks the broader set of authorized entities that are part of the personnel security framework.
