It will take a couple months to transition our archived newsletters to here. Please email us with any questions and suggestions - associates@DeathCaseReview.com
This month we are featuring the promised resources:
Time is Money - Multi-Tasking is Time Recovered!
Time is Money - Multi-tasking is Time Recovered
Time, education, training and experience are the key to the success of every professional - and professional investigators are one of the unique professions for this - together with attorneys, doctors, accountants and others.
We strive for more education and training, each passing day is another day of experience. However, time is a commodity which is a constant - it passes and renews each day. Time is never shorter or longer - unless we waste it or creatively make time our partner. Our time is either productive or not; billable or not.
Over the last 29 years we have seen many time-savers come and go. Some save time, others seem to take more time. From templates to texting, for better or for worse, technology is with us and impacts us 24/7. When Dean started the agency, in 1987, he had an answering machine which notified a beeper and then he used payphones or courtesy phones to return calls from the field. Later would come a fax and text paging - then email, followed by cell phones and mobile computing. By 1995 a complete mobile office as needed and Dean had mobile technology before law enforcement. From late 2012 through early 2015, while traveling in our RV, we learned how to be more mobile, more paperless, and more creative with our time.
What have we done to be more efficient?

AGENCY NEWS AND UPDATES:
Commentary from the blog archives of AFI-LLC - www.deathcasereview.com/afi-llc-blog.html
Keep up with the current events of our agency and profession through our blog. Dating back to the fall of 2011, there are dozens of articles, tips and resources for professional investigators.
Analyzing the Death and Investigation of Justice Antonin Scalia (from 2/22/2016)
With the recent death of US Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia (02/13/2016), and the questions surrounding it, a real-world understanding of death investigations is needed. Death investigation is not limited to homicide investigations, and is best conducted by trained medicolegal death investigators overseen by a forensic pathologist. What makes us qualified to evaluate the death and investigation, as reported, of Justice Antonin Scalia? Below is a summary of our experience, with a detailed experience following this article.

Special Announcement - Dean Beers Elected NCISS President 2016-2017 (from 4/17/2016)
Dean most recently served as 1st Vice President, and previously as both 2nd and 3rd Vice Presidents, as well as Secretary, Regional Director and Membership committee during his membership with NCISS.

In addition to his election as NCISS President, Dean was also the recipient of the The Wunder Award (2nd highest NCISS honor). He has previously been the first recipient of the 3rd highest honor, The Vinson Award.

NALI Editor Publisher Honorable Mention Award (from 5/12/2016)
Our agency is very proud to announce that NALI has, for the third time, honored Dean with a publisher's award. This is a great honor to be recognized by your peers. This article will be in a future edition of Dean’s next legal investigation book. His current book - Practical Methods for Legal Investigations: Concepts and Protocols in Civil and Criminal Cases was published by CRC Press in February 2010 - www.PracticalMethodsForLegalInvestigations.com.

Investigator Ethics Involving Social Media (from 7/18/2016)
Emerging technologies - from drones and GPS to social media and cloud storage - they may help or hinder our investigations, and become the subject of laws, regulations and ethics. Ethics are the moral fiber of a profession. Ethics are not optional - they are as required as laws and regulations - and violating them may lead to administrative punishments from fines to license revocations. The actions of a private investigator, particularly when retained by an attorney, are guided by our own ethics and that of attorneys - and any violations can impact the attorney. Ethics are promulgated by the American Bar Association, and also by the individual state bar associations. It is important to know those applicable to the states in which you conduct business.

TIDBITS FROM OUR PROFESSION
From NCISS
Lobbyit's November activity consisted almost entirely of talking to numerous congressional offices about what would happen as 2016 comes to a close, and what we might expect in early 2017.
As NCISS members know quite well, many of our primary policy concerns related to a series of Department of Labor rules (Overtime, Persuader, Micro-Union, Joint Employer, etc. - all the subject of earlier NCISS dispatches).
What is clear for next year, however, is that legislation is going to move. In most cases, these measures will be wide ranging and complex, like an overhaul of the tax system.
As such, the coming Congress presents both promise and peril. While NCISS might see problematic issues like data broker and gun regulation recede from the agenda, much legislation will be moving, which presents both opportunities to add NCISS priorities, but also the surety of the law of unintended consequences. NCISS and Lobbyit will be busy scouring these legislative materials to ensure that provisions don't pop up which could inadvertently hurt our profession.
Please see the full Lobbyit Monthly Report for November at http://conta.cc/2gPkQPj
NCISS Legal Alert - Overtime Rule Blocked!
Yesterday, U.S. District Judge Amos Mazzant of the Eastern District of Texas imposed a nationwide injunction against the Obama Administration's "overtime" rule (the subject of prior NCISS issue alerts). Judge Mazzant held that the Labor Department regulation exceeded the authority granted it by Congress, which he said gave Labor the right to define which workers are considered salaried but only based on the duties they performed, not by how much they made.

FROM THE NEWS
20 concise points - a good read, all very good advice from Brian Willingham is obsessed with self-improvement. Maybe we all should be. His tips for staying sharp in a competitive field at http://pursuitmag.com/20-ways-to-bring-your-investigative-game-to-the-next-level
Private investigators oftentimes have the stigma of taking on any case for any reason. Advanced Professional Investigations has worked hard to change that perception through educating the public and clients on what a professional investigator does and how we think. We do, however, still get the calls from individuals that want their husband or wife followed to see if they are cheating or find out if we can bug their cell phone or computer. In our office, the protocol is to determine if the case has a legal basis or is purely need to know. As Colorado is a no-fault state for divorce, the only time we accept a domestic case is if there is an attorney involved and if the attorney feels our help is not only warranted, but also beneficial to their legal case.

Having worked full time as a Colorado private investigator for nearly 15 years, and for over 10 years as a business owner, I’ve been able to experience the ebbs and flows – the ups and downs of the profession. Over those 15 years, I’ve had the opportunity to network with hundreds of practicing private investigators, both full-timers as well as part-timers, and I’ve also guided aspiring private investigators who were looking at gaining entry into the profession. Those hundreds of PI’s that I’ve met have come from many walks of life. Some had prior law enforcement or military experience. Others came into private investigations with criminal justice, investigative journalism, or even law degrees under their belts. Still others started out by taking an online private investigations course, or perhaps attended one in person. Others were introduced into private investigations having had no previous exposure to any type of investigations.

The Quint-Essential Qualities of a Professional Investigator
Skills Appropriate for the Assignment
Law firms and medical offices specialize - Professional Investigators also specialize. Their casework and continuing education should also be in your specialized areas.
Experience and Knowledge
Professional Investigators strive to maintain and further these. All professions have requirements of continuing education. The CLI and CCDI programs both require extensive compliance with continuing education.
Responsible and Ethical Conduct
Every component of the investigation has evidentiary considerations. Professional Investigators hold themselves to a higher standard and leaves no question as to the admissibility of their evidence. Information without ethics is not evidence.
Effective Communication
Professional Investigators maintain communication with the attorney, client, witnesses, and other key persons in the investigation. Moreover, reports are the product of an organized investigation and should reflect the work product you expect.
Keyword - 'Professional'
Honesty, Integrity & Intelligence. These define Professional Investigators and gives you the confidence that your case is in competent and skilled hands.
