Whether
you’re a veteran or aspiring private investigator, a successful career
is no longer possible by relying solely on traditional investigative
practices. Skillful use of desktop computers, specialized software and
the Internet are the keys to success in the PI trade today. Private Investigation in the Computer Age
introduces you to the latest computer tools and resources that will
enable you to work more quickly and efficiently. The author seamlessly
weaves “old school” and Computer Age tactics to help you handle
everything from bread-and-butter missing persons and surveillance
cases, to fast-changing fields like heir finding, to the entirely new
area of computer monitoring and surveillance. Just some of the things
you will learn from this book include how to:
- squeeze clues from e-mail headers to help find a runaway child or identify a cyberstalker
- recover deleted data in order to find incriminating evidence on a subject’s hard drive
- unravel complicated money trails without ever leaving your desk
- monitor everything a suspect types into his computer, even as he’s entering it
- prepare impressive, airtight reports for clients and courtroom testimony
A
computer-illiterate PI is a dinosaur. Before the pavement-pounding
old-timer steps off the curb outside his office, his computer-savvy
competitors will have already received via the Internet the same public
data he’s off to fetch. So get this book, get with the program, and get
those cases – and profits – now. 8 1/2 x 11, softcover, photos, illus.,
176 pp.
