The JournalofFlorida’sEthicalTrustedProfessionals

By Alan MoffattFALI Palm Beach Area Director

On occasion we as private investigators have the opportunity to meet people who have an impact on our lives. As the FALI’s Palm Beach Region Area Director, I had such an occasion. You see, I get to meet and greet on a monthly basis with so many fine investigators. I have met world class detectives, celebrity status undercover investigators, and members of our federal, state and local government. This has all been rewarding to me personally, but during all of these meetings and events there was always this unassuming, very quiet woman in her mid-80’s taking it all in. CONTINUED ON PAGE 07

The Essentials

Part 1: The First Day

The first day of a new case is always exciting.

You’ve got your assignment. You’ve been provided with a name, an address, and a goal. Before setting out, you should always check the following:

Google/Bing/whatever works the address. Know how long it will take you to get there.

Know the person: Google/Bing/whatever social media works for you.

Check your Sub-rosa list to make sure you have everything you need.

Then-

Get there EARLY! Many people have to drive a ways to get to work. If you want to start surveillance at 6:00AM get there at 5:30 AM.

Now-

The RESIDENCE: where is it located? In an older neighborhood? Lower income? Middle income? Sub-division? Gated apartment complex? High income? Rural or remote? Even if you have been there before, things may have changed. Take nothing for granted.

Get the VEHICLES. Do not drive up and down the street trying to get license plates. That will get you noticed like a pimple on prom queen. If there are several vehicles, walk by (once) dressed in dark clothing and be non – distinct. Note if the vehicles have bumper stickers, i.e. My Child is Student of week at…., or political statements, or sports teams.

NOTE: are lights on? Drapes closed/open? Any newspapers in the driveway or at the curb? Is it a two car garage with one car off to the side? Do the vehicles look operable? Are there any on-going projects? Is the landscaping well-tended? Are there children’s toys in the yard? Beware of Dog sign? Fenced back yard? Boat? Signs on the yard advocating political candidates? Are there balloons on the mail post? Maybe a Birthday party today. Check the telephone posts and light standards on the way there; garage/yard sale today/coming up? In the neighborhood?

The NEIGHBORS: Do the neighbors have on-going projects that might keep them outside for extended periods and they could take notice of your vehicle? Are their garages open and they have chairs inside where they sit and watch the day go by? Are there gang symbols on the fences? If in a rural area, is there agriculture

business and lots of traffic?

Where to SET UP: Best scenario is a secluded spot where you can sit and watch the front door and yard and exits. This doesn’t happen often however. Next best is where you can see the vehicles depart the driveway or curb. If that is not possible, then sit where the most likely exit may be observed. Remember it is always easier to move up and get video than to get noticed before you start. You don’t want to have to drive by every hour to check for activity, but if necessary, do so discretely and do not make U-turns.

It’s gonna get HOT. No matter what the season, what the temperature is outside, it’s gonna be hot sitting in the back of a van or SUV. Look for shade; it helps you keep being unnoticed and helps you keep cool. Be prepared with water and a cooling system like a neck wrap around soaked in the freezer. Don’t play the radio. Don’t watch videos. Don’t smoke. Don’t make phone calls. Text if needed to correspond to client.

CALL local law enforcement and let them know who you are and where you will conducting stationary surveillance. A caveat: probably best not to call if the person in question is in law enforcement or you know that the city in question checks out every call anyway.

LISTEN! The buzz of machinery may indicate lawn mowing or a leaf blower. Did a car start? Shouting may mean something is going on nearby. Your ears are as essential as your eyes. And don’t forget smells- BBQ? Gas?

DIFFICULT SITS

Difficult sits include apartment complexes that have the doors to the units facing in and to a common area not visible from the street or inside. Mobile Home parks may have the same situa-tions. It’s always nice to have a vehicle for your subject, but some-times you don’t. Try to locate a visitor space or an empty carport space that affords a look at the front door or exit ways. You can always move if someone comes. Some upscale complexes may have roaming security guards. Think and act like you belong there. Do not fear. You can leave if it gets heated up. If you see the subject approach his vehicle, that’s the time to leave so you don’t immediately follow them out of the complex.

GATED communities include sub-divisions, apartment complexes, and mobile home parks. Looks impossible, but it can be done. Most security gates rise and fall within a few seconds, time enough to scurry yourself in and check the surroundings. Some gates do not allow a second vehicle easily and you might have to walk in while someone else is walking out. Be sure to collect all info needed while inside, i.e. vehicles, description of residence, any projects, etc. You may not be able to remain inside the area and worse! There may be several ways out. In that instance, make sure you have checked the most appropriate exit. Understand that sometimes it takes more than one investigator to successfully negotiate getting a subject out of a gated area.

RURAL and REMOTE areas: California is a big state with lots of different terrain and territories. Canyons, beaches, rivers,

The Essentials: Part 1 THE FIRST DAY

redwoods, desert, and all possible conditions that make surveillance darn near impossible apply. Once again, you have to know where you are. Check Google Earth or aerial photos or ask local businesses and homeowners how to get in and out of where you are.

It’s likely you will have to establish surveillance a distance away from the subject’s home. Know the main arteries to get to freeways, malls, sub-divisions, medical buildings. Check for sites above the target’s home. Check to see if you can watch while on foot and get back to your vehicle in time if the subject leaves.

Difficult sits may even be in areas where it seems so cozy, but! Alas there is no street parking allowed. But, there might be a house for sale on the block and you can park in the driveway. Look, assess, and determine what will work.

Always keep in mind, the assignment and what you will need to do to follow through and offer results to the client. The FIRST DAY will set the tone for the investigation. This is not a career for the timid or the foolhardy or the mindless machismo. We are profes-sionals and perform with determination and dignity.

Essentials: Part 2

“On the MOVE! The Art of the Tail”

Anticipate but don’t Assume!

FIRST and FORMOST: Always start the day with a full tank of gas. You don’t know where you’ll end up….

Here are some different scenarios you may face:

Your target has left on foot. Now what?

How is he/she dressed? Are they in a jogging suit? Business clothes? Carrying a briefcase, laptop, suitcase? With others, or children, or dogs?

This will determine your next move. You should know beforehand where the local bus stops or municipal transportation stations are located. Are they within walking distance?

Should you depart your vehicle? No public transportation nearby? Then maybe subject is just out for a walk or jog. In that case, stay in your vehicle and back a ways so as not to alert the subject. Note that most people don’t look back. They look side to side. If Public transportation is within walking distance and if the subject looks like he is going somewhere, then be prepared. Make sure you have change, cash, or best! a public transportation card like Clipper. Have your cell phone GPS with you so

Dear Members,

It’s hard to believe we are already more than half way through the year. I hope every- one is having an enjoyable summer.

FALI has worked diligently throughout the years to protect, and defend, the interest of you, the Membership. We cannot do it without you, and those very important people, outside of FALI, with whom we team with every year. It is all about the relationships that have been developed, and maintained, by the FALI Board of Directors, and our Membership, since 1994.

FALI is the the largest Private Investigative Association in the State of Florida because year after year we have been effec-tive, in protecting the investigative profession in Florida. Unfortunately our profession had a wake-up call at the end of this year’s legislative session.

We are working with our lobbyist to prepare for the 2016 Session which will start in January, instead of March. We will be calling upon everyone to further add to the efforts, and show our strength, as the voice for private investigators in Florida. We are asking all our current members to bring in at least one new member to show their commitment to our profession. Membership has its benefits.

Just in time for the kids to go back to school, our members have two “educational” opportunities available to them in August: FALI Boot Camp on August 13 and FALI-U on August 14th, both in Tampa. (Details and requirements for participation can be found in this issue and on the FALI website.) These are great programs to attend, offering relevant information. They are completely FREE for FALI members.

Our next conference, which marks our 22nd Anniversary celebration, is in the planning stages. The dates are May 12-14, 2016 in Tampa. The speakers list is already shaping up to be as impressive as the past 3 years. I hope you will reserve these dates for what I believe will be a must attend conference.

Enjoy what’s left of the summer!

Sincerely yours,Tim O’Rourke

NCISS – Your Voice in DC and Across America

Legislative Watch - Security & InvestigationsProtecting Consumers and Commerce in the Internet AgeThe Commerce, Manufacturing, and Trade Subcommittee manages the modern manifestation of the committee’s historic role overseeing interstate and foreign commerce. Today, that commerce increasingly occurs in cyberspace, which is why the committee and the CMT subcommittee in particular will be focused on data security and the implications of cyber threats to American commerce.

Calls to Action through the State Legislative Advocacy HubIn April the Florida Association of Licensed Investigators learned of a ‘Midnight Amendment’ on two bills - drone and GPS regulation - that would severely limit their use, or worse, prohibit private investigators completely. Being too late to act in the legislature, the only course of action was to contact Florida’s Governor Scott for a veto. FALI and NCISS members from around the country rallied and sent letters. Unfortunately, one bill has been signed and the other is still making its way to the governor.

Similarly, the Texas Association of Licensed Investigators learned of a bill that would restrict the access to accident re-ports. Having the support of trial lawyers, TALI was unable to get an amendment to the bill.

Efforts by FALI and TALI, with the support of NCISS, will continue into the next legislative sessions. The actions of FALI, TALI and NCISS members is greatly appreciated.

Drone Bill in Colorado Morphs to Emerging Technology PrivacyThe so called “drone bill” in Colorado which morphed into an “emerging technology bill” has been killed. This bill could have been a significant issue to surveillance investigators as well as other fields in the investigative profession. The Professional Private Investigators Association of Colorado had been watching this and giving input since it came out of it’s first committee in the House of Representatives. PPIAC were the only ones with representation from the investigative pro-fession that testified in a Senate committee and it definitely made a difference. The Senate sponsors heard the problems we presented and, in the end, the sponsors themselves killed the bill. However they vowed to bring back another form of the bill next year.

Each meeting she would be there listening and not saying much. I often thought she was a friend or a guest of one of our members. To my great and pleasant surprise, right there in the middle of it all was Jackie Ihrig, one of the first woman licensed in the State of Florida as a Private Investigator.

Award given to Jackie Ihrig by FALI as a Florida investigations pioneer in July.

Jackie, I found has a resume to match most all of those of our membership. You see, in 1970, while raising a five year old stepson, Jackie was attending the then Palm Beach Junior College and began an internship with a local private investigation agency. Through hard work and determination, she earned her Florida Private Investigators License, one of the first issued to a woman, and began a career which spanned decades. Although not actively involved in investigations at the age of 87, she has a world of experience and stories which match all of us who consider ourselves to be “seasoned investigators.” In the early days of her career, working primarily with the Thompson’s Bureau of Investigation, Jackie was able to accomplish many investigative tasks that her male counterparts could not. Throughout her career she worked with numerous agencies as an undercover agent, and investigating kidnappings, runaways, transport robberies and was integral in solving the largest jewelry heist in Palm Beach. Jackie’s credentials did not stop with private investigations, but included a stint with the Palm Beach Sheriff’s

Office and the Fort Pierce Police Department. So, if you are ever at a Palm Beach Region FALI meeting and notice this unassuming, quiet woman of some longevity sitting in one of the front rows, you are in the presence of private investigation royalty. Do yourself a favor and introduce yourself and sit and chat for a spell with her and see if you are not impacted by who she is and what she’s done, as she has impacted me. Jackie is a regular in the Palm Beach Region and we are proud to have her.

“Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is a simple best practice that adds an extra and necessary layer of protection on top of your user name and password.”

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is a simple best practice that adds an extra and necessary layer of protection on top of your user name and password. In todays evolving world of cloud computing, mobile devices, and increased Internet threats and security costs, MFA serves as a vital function within any organization to increase secure access to corporate networks, add protection to the identities of users, and ensure that a user is who he or she claims to be.

Today, organizations have either addressed or are still addressing the following questions:

l Can I address new demands of my business — like cloud and mobile devices?l How do I map access control methods to business risk and the needs of my users?l Can I centrally manage, control and administer all my users and endpoints?l How can I incorporate additional security layers to help me further fortify against threats?l And how do I keep it all practical and cost-effective?

More than ever, consumers and organizations are looking for identity and access control methods that deliver simplicity and automation.

Why isn’t HTTPS protocol enough?

l HTTPS uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocols to encrypt the Internet connection from a computer’s browser to a web server application over a computer network. There is nothing else to authenticate who the user is, other than the username and password, which is often too weak. Once inside the computer network the hacker can release bots or crawlers to gain access to sensitive data.

So what are some examples of Multi-factor Authentication?

l Something you Know – a Password or PINl Something you Have or Receive– a registered Device, CAPTCHA Code, or One-Time Session PINl Something you Are – Biometrics, such as a fingerprint

You may have seen some changes from your online banking

experiences or other web applications like your data providers, which provide access to Sensitive Personally Identifiable Information or SPII. Some banks and data providers continue to enhance their online security by invoking the following Two-factor authentication techniques:

l Username and password as the first step. Secondly, you may be asked to register your device (computer) as either a public access device (unsecured) or a personal device (secured). Registering your device typically means a web-cookie is downloaded to your (secured) computer. Each time you access that website, the web application will search for the cookie to further authenticate who you are. These web-cookies typically have an expiration date not to exceed 90 days; therefore you will be asked again to authenticate your (secured) computer when the web-cookie expires. Further authentication using a known non-expiring PIN or a CAPTCHA code, or both is often used before access to information is authorized. The PIN is typically provided to you or is something you create during a setup process. Some organizations may leave out the CAPTCHA code requirement.

l Username and password as the first step. Secondly, a CAPTCHA code entry, followed by a One Time Session PIN either emailed or sent via text. Some organizations may leave out the CAPTCHA code requirement.

What about the recent OPM breach at the federal government level?

l Information has been released that HTTPS is not widely used by all federal government websites. Therefore, an encrypted connection between the user and the organizations computer network do not exist. A plan has been put in place to have all federal government websites using HTTPS by 2017.

l Multi-factor authentication should follow once the websites are using HTTPS. It takes time and money to make this conversion a success.

A very interesting Two-factor authentication list can be found at this address - https://twofactorauth.org/. I’m unaware of its freshness or reliability.

Multi-factor Authentication

Is there Three-factor authentication?

l Yes. That involves one of the Two-factor authentication methods outlined above, followed by “Something you Are.” Biometrics were added to laptops by several computer manufacturers in the past, but were often problematic or routinely skipped. It also added additional cost to the laptop, which often deterred customers from buying them. Retinal and fingerprint scans are being used in certain places. Furthermore, fingerprint identification with iPhones and other smart devices are beginning to resurface in the marketplace.

So what’s in it for me?

l Increased security for starters. Extra protocols to help thwart unauthorized access to sensitive information are vital to securing new and existing data contracts with vendors, which ultimately increases your access to information.

What about SSO or Single Sign-On authentication?

l SSO or Single Sign-On authentication is a method typically used by social media and browser giants, like Facebook or Google, that allow users to sign on to other web-based applications using their Facebook or Google sign-on credentials. This is a growing feature and worth discussing as a separate topic.

“Increased security for starters. Extra protocols to help thwart unauthorized access to sensitive information are vital to securing new and existing data contracts with vendors, which ultimately increases your access to information.”

HTH Highlight - Meeting with Senate Commerce CommitteeIn the afternoon, Lobbyit took NCISS leadership to meet with senior counsel on the Senate Commerce Committee to discuss data privacy and drone legislation. We learned that they had no intention to sweep up private detectives into the data broker definition, but were looking to regulate those businesses who make money from aggregating, packaging and selling consumer data to third parties.

Advocacy HubNCISS continues to show leadership and its commitment to State Association outreach with the release of the new Advocacy Hub (AH). The AH is a wonderful tool for State Associations to monitor legislation effecting their state. The AH not only identifies certain pieces legislation, it can be helpful with call to action letters from your members to your Congressional and House Representatives.

You’re home alone....and there’s someonein your house!

Christine Parsley One Nations Investigaations Palm Beach Gardens, Floridachristine.pi.pps@att.net

It’s 2:00 a.m…you are home alone asleep…you wake up to a noise…there’s someone in the house”

This is probably one of the greatest blood chilling fears a woman could face. Since we are wise and cautious, simple safety measures could save our lives. If you can GET OUT OF THE HOUSE IMMEDIATELY. If you can’t , foolow the following simple rules.

PHONES:

Have a house phone and cell phone next to the bed. Call 911 from the houseline (your address will automatically come up on the dispatchers screen).

If you are calling from a cell phone, the police can not determine where you are. Do not hang up even though you mayt need to move. Give as much information as you can (your location in the house, where the bad guy is, etc.) Have your cell phone bedside in case you can get out.

CAR KEYS:

Get in the habit of putting your car keys on your nightstand (or keep your backup car remote there). If you push the car alarm button from your bedroom, your car alarm will sound off in the garage or outside. (Try this today and verify that there is not distance problem.) Yes…this will wake the neighbors. Trust me…they will know there’s a problem and react!

WASP SPRAY:

Keep a can of Wasp and Hornet spray next to your headboard (not Ant and Roach spray). Wasp spray shoots 26 feet in a firm foam thick stream. This blinds the assailant until medically treated. This gives you the advantage of distance with no back splash. If you have a fan or AC blowing, mace and pepper spray mist can come back on you.

FIREARMS:

Unless you are FLUENT with a firearm (no…not just a four hour concealed weapons class), do not count on a gun to protect you. In this high stress situation, your adrenaline will skyrocket. Your fine motor skills will deteriorate. Your gross motor skills will increase. Using a firearm requires fine motor skills. Your shaking hands will miss the target, go through a wall or window and possibly kill an innocent

person. The bad guy could easily get the gun from you and use it on you.

Law Enforcement officers, military personnel and protection specialists are trained to overcome the human reactions to high stress induced panic. If you are a civilian with a firearm, go to the range regularly (couple of times a month) and try to become as comfortable with a firearm as you would be tying your shoe. Personally, I have ‘all of the above’ in my room (home safety weapon of choice: safe action semi auto Glock).

Be Safe. God Bless

The three largest statewide investigative associations in the United States came together to offer their membership an incredible benefit. Every member within their association could join the other two associations as an out-of-state member for half of the standard dues. Thus providing them access to a network of over 3,000 plus investigators and agencies to do business with. What will this partnership enable you to do, besides save money? Increase Your Network - Lets face it, size matters when it comes to increasing your potential business or employment opportunities. You can network among a few or you can cast a wide net to gain valuable exposure to thousands. Obtain New Clients - Many of us have clients that need services in California and/or Texas from time to time. Now you have more resources to assist those clients locally. Provide New Services - Expanding your network can also mean expanding your services and exploring additional revenue streams. Expand Your Footprint - By cultivating relationships/partnerships with local investigators in these states you can focus on growing your business opportunities.Unmatched support and revenue opportunities Legislative and regulator support - FALI, CALI and TALI have all been around for decades and are no stranger to the legislative process. Board members attend all regulatory meetings and legislative sessions are consistently monitored. The goal of each of these associations has always been the same - protect our membership and their interests. Lead generation - After the homepage our search features for locating an investigator are the most used on the website. It does not matter if it is a local business, attorney or private citizen seeking an investigator, many turn to us as the first stop in the internet for locating a investigator. Additionally each association website and private listserv is also a great way for other members to communicate with and locate someone to help with that new case. Administrators - Each association has their own administrator who can assist you with membership questions, local laws and regulatory information. When you need to speak to someone who knows about the investigative business and state regulations, you can contact the administrator via phone or e-mail. Recognition - As a member of the oldest and largest nationwide PI associations you are among your professional peers in every state.

ESSENTIALS PART 2: ON THE MOVE

you know where you are and can get back to your vehicle.

If the Subject leaves on bicycle or motorcycle, be aware that bikes can go where cars cannot. Have a stationary camera on your dashboard if possible to record the movements. Keep in mind that someone on a bicycle may take mapped routes and may end up in the usual places that a car can go…only takes a bit longer. Motorcycles are a special challenge and it is best to know the subject and their habits.

If the Subject leaves in a vehicle: What kind? What type of person? Is it an SUV/4WD that may indicate traveling distances or in rural areas. Truck/pickup? Anything in the bed? Note that most SUV and P/Us have smaller back windows and it’s harder to see someone following them. Side windows are used for larger trucks; therefore you may stay directly behind them. Prius/Hybrid/HOV vehicles may be going to work and can go into the HOV lanes. Best technique is to keep to the right of the vehicle if possible. Most drivers look to the rear view mirror and the left side mirror. When possible, keep a vehicle between you and the subject. This is not always available, especially in city conditions.

City Conditions: Large cities and even middle sized cities have lights on every block in downtown and other shopping areas. In these situations, the driver is usually focused directly ahead or to the side. You should try to stay as close as possible. Note if the driver checks the rear view mirror obsessively. Keep your sunshade visor down. Do not let the driver/subject make eye contact. A quick turn of the signal can happen and you’ve lost them. There may be times when it seems that you are tethered to the back fender of the subject’s car; stay with it until you can put a vehicle between. If you hit a red light and the subject goes through, try to turn right and make a U-turn sideways to get around the cars waiting to go the other way. But NEVER put yourself or other drivers in harm’s way.

Freeway tailing: It is as easy to lose visual contact on the freeway as it is on city streets. Some subjects race as if they were at Indy. Others slow down as if they were looking for a lost kitten. Some will weave in and out of traffic just to get a car ahead. When backed up at commute time, keep close; the subject will be looking forward trying to get an advantage. Sometimes you may have to nudge yourself over to one side or the other and inch in where others tread and they may honk or be angry. Be not afraid, they will get over it. Keep your eyes on the prize.

Sub-division tailing: winding lanes through neighborhoods. If you stay too close, the subject might catch on- too far back, you lose them. Note that most vehicles have some sort of identifying mark. Keep an eye out for courts and circles, if you don’t see them right away, travel back and check the outskirts.

Rural tailing: long lonely lumpy/bumpy roads over dirt/gravel/unpaved lanes without a clue to where you may end up have complications too. The subject knows where he/she is going…

you don’t. Staying too close alerts them, staying too far back leaves you without a sniff of the trail. In daylight, you might be able to hang back and watch the dust; at night, you might see the headlights turn in the distance. Keep your GPS on and use it to assist you in identifying where you are and where they may go.

Got ‘em where you want ‘em

Commercial buildings:

Industrial buildings may not have access those who are not employed there. Keep an eye out for exits. The subject may change clothes or leave in a different vehicle with other people. Always note the physical characteristics of your target and take video or stills for identification.

Inside Malls:

Subjects tend not to look up. If the mall has an upper floor, try following them from above. You can also keep track by looking at reflections in shop windows so you don’t have to directly look at the target.

Grocery/retail Stores:

Subjects tend to look side to side up and down rarely behind.

Parks/Playgrounds:

Subjects may be with children. If so, and you are videotaping, try to use a covert camera or at least make sure that others don’t notice you. People are very aware of situations where children may be involved and may alert your target.

Restaurants/Clubs/Bars:

These are usually crowded. Sometimes that is good, as they may not pay attention to you, but also it may be a problem if you do not get good sight lines. Bars usually have mirrors on the back wall and you may use that to watch the target. Booths may be available in restaurants or tables by the doors. Try not to sit near restrooms as the target may use them and walk by you.

Paid venues:

The subject may go to a sporting event, or music event, or other inside stadium or auditorium setting. If tickets are not available at the door, scalpers may be nearby. If you can’t get it, determine the exits. Find out if the event is televised or being videotaped. It may be possible to get copies.

Active Participation:

Circumstances may be that your target is playing a sport or in a recital or such. Usually this is not a problem, however, some ven-ues do not allow videotaping and one must be discreet.

Esentials Part 2On the MoveDisguises:

Always keep with you something to change your looks. It may be a hat, different clothing, wigs, or something to change hairstyles, whatever works for the situation.

Following someone is the most challenging discipline of the investigator. It takes the nerves of a burglar and the concentration of surgeon. Usually, you don’t get a second chance if you lose your target. It’s thrilling and exciting why most of us keep coming back to it. It’s an art and a skill. Stay at it, keep practicing and you’ll find it rewarding both spiritually and financially.

You Lost ‘em, Now What?There is nothing more frustrating for an investigator than to lose a subject while following him or her. It happens to all of us; the key is to find them after you have lost ‘em. Subrosa/Surveillance is an adventure, not for the faint-hearted or week-kneed. Perseverance and a keen eye are essential.

Here are a few tips:

First, DON”T GIVE UP! Most people are creatures of habit and tend to go to the same places, follow the same routes, go to the same friend’s homes, and have a pattern of consistency. Be PREPARED!

Have an appropriate vehicle, one that allows you to sit higher than the rest of traffic. Vans and SUVs are especially good for this. Have a vehicle that can make sharp U-turns. Have a vehicle that can speed up quickly. Have a GPS system that has a grid map available and keep your position on at all times. Some vehicles have GPS built in the dashboard, otherwise use a stand-alone model, and most cell phones have this capability, too.

Know your Subject:

Age? What activities normal for the age group? Dating? Check Social Media

Do they work? Where?

Are they Married? Does the spouse work? Where?

Kids? What ages? Where are the nearest schools play-grounds/sports fields

Relatives? Do Parents live in the area?

Hobbies? Do they fish? Do they play sports? Do they work-out? Yoga? Drink?

Ethic Background? Some cities have distinct districts of cultural concerns

Know the Vehicle:

Make sure you have the license plate and identifiers. Lots of vehicles look the same in the midst of traffic.

Does it have bumper stickers that provide a clue: My child is an honor student at etc.., Politics, AA, Gun rack, License plate frame.. all may indicate a hobby, a church, etc..

Know where you are:

Before you initiate surveillance, Google the residence and streets and get a view of where you are.

Get there early! Check the cross streets: are there dead ends, work projects, is it a sub-division? Gated? How many exits?

Check out the location of nearby Grocery Stores Malls, Medical Offices, Hospitals, Playgrounds, Day-Care Centers, Dog parks, Schools, Flea Markets, Movie theaters, popular restaurants Ethnic cultural spots

So, the subject has driven away from the residence and you’ve lost sight of ‘em. Now what?

Where did they go?

How was the subject dressed?

Pajamas? Business suit? Casual? Formal? Work-out? That will give a clue to where the subject might go: Work Appointment Shopping Private Residence Date

Who’s in the vehicle?

Alone? Kids? Spouse? Friend? Parent? Dog? That provides a clue to where: School Daycare Private Residence Playground Dog park

How to find ‘em!

If you are driving along a busy street and lose sight because cars are between you and them and you can’t see ahead and when you do they are not there, look to the right. It is easier for them to make a right turn at a light than a left turn.

Keep turning right on cross streets as it is more likely that they are able to keep going that way.

If the subject enters a subdivision with lots of winding and small streets, use your GPS to get a quick look at the exits, and then make a grid search by going up and down each street. Most times, the subject will be parked on the street at the curb, but be sure to eye the driveways too.

In a rural area, look for kicked up dust or freshly laid down grass. Many rural areas have long driveways that are private and you can’t go down each and every one. In a gated area, has the gate just closed?

Lost in Freeway traffic due to gridlock? Keep going…. They are probably backed up too. Note the off ramps, they are usually backed up and you might see them there just waiting for you! But

CONTINUED PAGE 16

Esentials Part 2On the Move

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 15

Be Safe! Don’t cause accidents by being over aggressive towards other drivers.

If Subject has distinct Ethnic characteristics check local cultural ar-eas for shopping, dining, sports, etc..

Time of Day:

6:AM to 9:00 AM

The subject may be going to work. Check nearby business parks, strip malls, or merchant areas. The subject may be going for coffee or breakfast. Where is the nearest Starbucks or donut shop? The subject may be going to the gym. Where is the closest? Are there children in the vehicle? Where is the closest school?

10:00 AM to 1:00 PM

The subject may be going to an appointment. Check nearby medi-cal plazas, law offices, or other professional buildings. The subject may be grocery shopping; check the nearby stores parking lots.

11:00 AM to 3:00 PM

The subject may be going to appointments. Check the ones as before. The subject may be going to a restaurant. Check nearby shopping centers.

2:00 PM to 6:00 PM

The subject may be shopping or picking up kids. Check the previ-ous noted locations.

6:00 PM to 9:00 PM

The subject may be out to dinner; check nearby restaurants. The subject may be at sports events or visiting friends. Do a grid search of the area.

8:00 PM to 12:00 AM

The subject may be out for the evening. Check bars and nighttime recreational areas.

The day of the week matters, too!

Saturday: Sports Family gatherings Shopping Garage sales

Sunday: Churches Parks Garage sales

Events? Is there something going on? Farmer’s Market? Parade? Flea Market?

Make sure you know what is happening in your subject’s home area. Check hometown newspapers and posted flyers.

It is a challenging profession we have chosen. Keep a keen eye and practice peripheral vision. Experience provides that the subject is more likely to be in the conspicuous spot than the hidden one.

“If you lose ‘em, remember that if you see hoof prints, think horses before zebras.”

But damn nice to catch the zebra on the loose, too.

Editors CornerRic FeldFALI Forum EditorThe Raven Agency LLC

ric@theravenagency.comeditor@fali.org

My Vision is Your VisionAs you have probably figured out by now, since you are all supposed to be investigators or at least affiliated with the industry, I am your new FALI Forum Editor.

Our Forum can be a multitude of things. It can be an extension of the website, an educational platform, that we can participate in and maybe even expand our personal and business horizons with.

There are several fixtures, such as the membership renewal form and ads for FALI renewal that are destined to be a part of all in house newsletters. However that in no way precludes us from including many other items.

As the Editor my sincere desire is to merge MY VISION with YOUR VISION.

For me to do this I need to be inundated with your ideas, suggestions, suggested news feeds, articles, and as CNN used to call them, FACTOIDS.

These would include new information that is relevant to our industry or our members. Information on new and innovative ways that either you, or those that you work with, encounter.

It also includes profiles of those that cross our path, work in our offices, or in someway impact our daily functionality in a positive way.

A wonderful example of this type of input would be the piece on one of our FALI members, Jackie Ihrig, written by Palm Beach Area Director, Alan Moffatt, and featured on the cover of this issue.

But such nuggets do not have to come from Area Directors, or FALI Officers, although I do include each and every one of our Board Members in the challenge.

I have no problem with expanding the breadth on depth of the FALI Forum, but for me to do so without your input I think would be counterproductive.

Before becoming a Private Investigator I spent 25 years with The Associated Press and eight with the Chicago Tribune Company so I eagerly await your journalistic input.

My expertise also includes over 30-years as a Firearm Instructor, and currently I am a member of IALEFI and a certified NRA Law Enforcement and Security Firearms Instructor. I hold both a State of Florida DI and K License and would welcome expanding the inventory of Forum articles in that direction.

I can be reached at:editor@fali.org or ric@theravenagency.com

Looking forward to hearing from you.
