As a private investigator, security guard or loss prevention officer you NEED to make sure that if the bad guys decide to come after you, or your family, that you have this “privacy trip-wire” in place and that you set it at your job interview!

Make sure you tell the interviewer the name you “go by” and, here’s the key, make it DIFFERENT from the one you use on a daily basis.

For example tell your new job you go by your middle name.

That means if your name is “John Paul Pope” and everybody you know calls you John, tell your new employer that you like to go by “Paul” (your middle name in this example).

What this does:

This means if you ever get a phone call, text, subpoena or any weird online contacts calling you “Paul” then you instantly know – this ain’t from family or friends! It’s 100% work related.

Why do this?

You do this because, in our world (security and investigations), not everyone you meet will be a reasonable, upright, taxpaying citizen! You will occasionally meet a person you doesn’t play by the rules we, as a decent, God fearing society have set-up.

That means, if they decide to stalk, track or harass you or your family you’ll have a better chance to know it’s coming if they set off your privacy trip-wire by calling you by your work name.

I’m just sayin’.

This week’s private investigator training video is a super-tactical tip on how to handle a surveillance when your client authorizes more than one day to follow the subject or to stake-out his or her residence if it’s a stationary surveillance.

Surveillance is a very (very!) valuable skill to have because so many other investigators are, well… scared to do it. Maybe it’s just because they don’t know how to do it. But that means all the money for those private investigator jobs is there for you!

Plus… and don’t miss this… one of the easiest ways to get into the P.I. business is to do surveillance work for an established P.I. agency! They are ALWAYS looking for qualified applicant to do surveillance for worker’s comp and other fraud cases.

If you want to be a surveillance pro in the the fastest possible time, then learn the tricks in the ONLY 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed Private Investigator Surveillance course The Investigator’s Ultimate Guide to Surveillance. (Don’t miss the free previews there!)

And, as always, do the right thing, even if it’s the hard thing.

Unless you’re lucky enough to have years of experience serving civil process packs in a place where you didn’t need to pass a process server exam before you have to take a state test to be a process server, then you need to know (at least) enough to pass your local requirements and this week’s process server training video gives you practical tips and information to make passing a whole lot easier!

Let me also suggest that my Investigator’s Ultimate Guide to Process Serving training course is the solution you’ve been looking for!

Note Well:

Don’t miss that a lot P.I. cases come straight out of picking up a law firm clients by serving civil process! That means I got my foot in the door with process serving and picked up investigative work because of that and you can too!

So one lesson to take away this week is if you need more cases (and the profits that come from them!) consider offering process serving to law firms because then they know, like and trust you when they have investigative work!

And, as always, do the right thing, even if it’s the hard thing.

Did you notice in this A&E episode of Manhunters: Fugitive Task Force how a data provider error was MISSED by the U.S. Marshals and the chaos it caused on this fugitive recovery skip trace?

Look, no judgment from me. These things are messy. And the fact of the matter is, if this sexually oriented offender wasn’t hiding in the community, everybody – including the homes that were “raided” – wouldn’t have had any problems at all!

The bad guy was the reason for it all! But…

You and I, as private investigators, would probably have a harder time recovering from a blunder like this one the Marshals made. And that means we need to be more vigilant when we get information from our big data providers. We need to verify, verify, VERIFY that it’s correct!

How do you do that?

You use multiple sources and methods including (and I would say especially!) public records!
