You have permission to use public resources for private work?

Without any idea where you are on "Earth," this is just shooting from the hip Incorporate, get E&O insurance, get licensed, get lawyers to write up contracts and waivers, generally CYA. Once that is done look for clients.

Have you factored in time that you may have to spend in court with the private work (which may encroach on your full time employment)?
This was the first thing that I thought of as a stumbling block when pondering this some time ago.

Many States in the US require CF Examiners to be licensed as Private Investigators/Detectives.

Actually, not that many states require a PI license to operate in the US. That is a bit of a misnomer. The only ones I know of for certain that have clear language are Texas, South Carolina (And that one was modifed to only cover direct acquisition of evidence) Georgia and Michigan.

You can argue that California and some others require a PI license, but they do not. Their licensing codes have not changed.
