THE
EVERYTHING
Private Invetigation Book
Dear Reader,
About once a month, I receive an e-mail from someone offering his ser vices as a private investigator, usually for free. Upon following up, I find that he has no training, no experience in the field, and hasnt even read a book about the subject. Needless to say, I cant use him. If I hired someone such as this or even let him work for training his total lack of knowledge would be too distracting to another investigator. Someone like this wouldnt even be able to help; he would hinder an investigation.
Plus, if it takes two people to do one job, one of them isnt necessary. Read this book and others recommended in the text, check out the recommended Web sites (you can start with mine, www.safersecurityinc.com), get some training, and then call around to see if an agency can use a trainee. Have something of value to offer, and know how to articulate this value before you call an agency.
The second mistake potential investigators make is offering their service s for free. You must realize that your abilities have monetar y value; if you dont, no one else will. Also, its a good idea to purchase your own basic equipment. With your own equipment, youll never need to stand in line for what you need, and youll be more attractive to an investigative agency.
As a former agent for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and licenced private investigator, Ive learned that in this business you hold peoples lives in your hands sometimes literally, but more often figuratively. Youll have identifying information that, if misused, can wreck a life and a family. Youll be the keeper of secret s for people who trust and need you. Dont let them down; use your investigative powers for good and not evil. People enter the PI profession for different reasons. Some are interested in money: Theres no doubt that money can be made, but there are other, better motives. I cant reiterate enough that the most rewarding motive is the knowledge that youve made a difference in the life of another human being, and that you will leave the planet a better place than you found it.

Acknowledgments
For going on this trek with me, Id like to thank my agent, Maura Kye-Casella, with Denise Marcil Literary Agency. Her guidance has been invaluable, and her encouragement motivating. Id also like to thank the unflappable Lisa Laing, with Adams Media. Working with her has been energizing and a pleasure. Thanks to my first writing teacher, Bonnie Hearn Hill.
Id also like to thank my family and friends for their support and understanding. Ive missed a lot of get-togethers over the course of writing this book, but theyve been great about it. I especially thank my mom, Joyce Lenning, and my brother, Joe Lenning, for who they are and for their unwavering support. I also cant fail to acknowledge some of my best friends and supporters for getting me to this place: Victoria and Woodie Fritz and the entire staff at Dr. Lyman (Woodie) Fritzs Clinic, as well as author Lee Lofland.
Finally, thanks go out to all the readers of this book from those who want to learn how to use one or two techniques presented here to those brave enough to jump into the profession of private investigation. To the latter, I pray that you use your newfound powers for good and not for evil.
