Private Investigations and Personal Security/Expert Profile

Expertise

I can answer almost any question with regards to the individual state laws concerning private investigators; best practices and procedures used in private investigations;how to determine if the agency or investigator you are contemplating using is sufficiently qualified to do the work and if an investigation was conducted in accordance with the standards of practice and care used in the professional investigative industry. I can also direct you with regards to doing your own research in certain situations, such as finding someone who owes you money. I can steer you through the database "minefield" with regards to which databases contain useful information and which don't. I can also advise regarding the kind of information that you can legally obtain and what's not legal.

What do you like about this subject?

I love assisting individuals in sorting out the wheat from the chafe. There are many licensed investigators who operate in many fields inside of the investigative industry and I enjoy helping mentor the younger, less experienced one.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

On going education is a must throughout any investigative career. When you stop learning, you stop growing. I hope to finish a complete cirriculum for the beginning investigator, advanced investigator and for specific fields of study inside the investigative industry.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

Most laws concerning privacy utilize the "expectation of privacy" rule in determining if someone's privacy has been violated or breached.
