A quick and easy counter surveillance trick.

Counter surveillance can help protect you, your privacy and your family.

How can you tell if someone is following you?

This week I want to teach you a slightly advanced counter surveillance trick.

First of all, make sure you are doing the basic check to see if you are being followed. Is someone behind you and following you turn for turn as you drive? That’s the most obvious sign that you are being followed and that will work for the untrained amateur that’s trying to tail you. But… Continue reading

When can you lie on the witness stand?

This week I want to share with you a lesson that I’ve tried before to share.

More than that, he had just come from a bar and he had been in there for hours.

Fast forward several months… Continue reading

The trials you’re going through are the key for you as a private investigator.

The trials you’re going through are the key to every other opportunity you’re going to have.

You’re having trouble breaking into this line of work. If nobody will hire you because you’ve got no experience. Nobody will bring you on and even working on for free just to train you it’s just tough. It’s a trial. It’s a difficulty. But there’s something good in that for you and I’m going to share that with you this week. Continue reading
