It is so interesting to see another investigator at work. While your methods are different from how we train, I do appreciate any and all the K.I.S.S. options. GREAT WORK! And good luck on the book brother. I'll keep a "legaleye" out for it! 🍻 cheers!
Thank you, Brother!! Stay safe out there Legal Eye!
I was on a case where I had to pretend to be homeless because it was the most common thing to see in the specific area I needed access to. I also gained access to a high end hotel in the same outfit.
Nice...you're only limited by your imagination! Keep up the good work, Allen!
who are you james bond?
Must be lots of private eyes out there then 😂

Thank you for the tip.
All information on point. Great video. I believe in all these philosophies
Thank you so much!! That means a lot coming from you...when I was learning (many moons ago) I watched all your video's and listened to your podcast! its people like you who serve as digital mentors for newbies like us! Thank you Andrew!!
I like your way of doing things. Simple easy dependable
Thank you, Daniel..."Keep it simple!!"
Thank you for another great video sir!
Thank you, Tristan. Glad you enjoyed it!
Get car play, when you get a call your phone will take the call but the car dash will still show the map. And if you have a walking route you just exit the vehicle with your directions still plugged in and what I do is have my Apple Watch which will tap 2 times for a left and 3 for a right so o can keep my eyes on the subject while getting directions.
Keep up with the videos, I find this type of stuff fascinating.
Thanks, will do!
Same here I've always wanted to work in this kind of job. Wish me luck!
this video is really good, i like your style!
Thank you so much!!
Great show i working on behalf of dj cabana aka and like the show we hire you guys all the time to spot the bad guys
I’m considering a career as a private investigator and I really loved seeing this!! I was wondering if you had any tips for someone looking to get started in the business
In cc class right now, fl its 40 hours. Next week is the last portion. Now finding a sponsor is going to be the hard part. Cool videos, new fan here. Keep up the good work!
Thank you, Alexis! Good luck!
I love you man! Keep it up
Thank you, Sean!! Will do!
I was not happy about what I saw…its wasn’t easy to move on, but am now free from all her lies, his services is cheap and affordable I never believed this until I saw the evidence, we all need to be free and live happily…..
Good information. I just passed the Exam for the C license and I will be submitting my application using ~4 years of retail loss prevention experience. Not sure if I can start out part time in this field but I would like to slowly transition from my current job to fulltime Private investigator possibly within a year.
Congrats!! Good luck!
@@SuburbanSecurityServices thanks
Didn't know Dana White was a PI. Good work Dana you get em buddy
I'm gonna take that as a compliment!! Thanks Adam!
Do some more!! Thanks champ.
Thank you, Solo!! More to come.
Year later can we get a hint on the bug sweeper? Thx. Edit: Is it the "Pro-10G" by Spy Matrix?
I'm a pen and paper guy too.
What are the best type of camera lenses to use during a surveillance? Zoom, telephoto, etc.?
Iv been a private security officer for 5 months now. I start in the office tomorrow as a PI for the same company. I’m very excited but I have no idea where to start. Your video helped me. Thank you
That's great! good luck Amanda!
How was your first day as P.I? Were you put on an case on the first day?
Pretty interesting video my dude. I'm thinking about getting into private investigation. Any more videos that you would point out to me?
Thanks for the instruction. Love to get your book when its ready!
Thank you, Jose! I'll let you know when its released!
Great video and good points😊
Thanks for watching, James!
“I dress like a slob”
Bro, you’re dressed like a cop
…and cops are slobs 😉
Thumbs up for the "boom" text on screen.
Haha, thanks Dan!
Excellent video. Where were you 25 years ago when I got started?
Thank you, JR!! Yeah, I got started in the 90's with "Global School of Investigation" mail ordered course...remember that??
When you said "old school" I thought you were about to say "key map."
Haha! Yeah, I'm that old!
❤️👏🏼👍🏻
Did you publish your book? I just started my own company in NYC and I’m interested to know the brand of bug detector you use and would be more than happy to support a fellow investigator by purchasing a copy!
Not yet...I decided to make it more of a Training Guide book for a PI course with video's and tutorials! I let you know when its ready! Thanks for watching, Joseph!
8 years of law enforcement experience here. What am I looking at for startup cost? I know it’s different for every state but in general... Business license insurance and equipment. What are the basic start up necessities? Thanks so much really enjoy your videos
Thanks, Alex. Yeah, its really inexpensive business to get into. I can't speak for whatever state you're in, but in Massachusetts the original application fee for a license is $550 with a renewal fee of $150. Bonding is $50 a year, and I pay about $400 for liability insurance. So, just starting out you're in the hole for a grand. Then you factor in marketing costs, equipment, association memberships, training etc. But those costs can be mitigated for the business savvy entrepreneurs. I wish you luck, Alex!
Whats the name of your little black box? Would like to purchase one. Thanks! Great content btw!
i just use my iphone, level, ruler/measuring tape and a measuring wheel. My photos turn our great
Man, you're good! I was going to write something discourteous, but you caught be before I had a chance! So you get the like button instead. Fascinating demo!
Thanks Erik!
This is my dream job , I’ve been trying to study everything I need to know ...laws and ethics ...different techniques you use ...but I don’t really know if you have to go to college for this type of job . I was gonna go to the police academy and because a officer first and go from there ? Is that something that is possible
Of course, many PI's start in law enforcement then venture out on their own. Even though helpful, college is not a prerequisite to be a PI, most learn on their own. Check out local state associations for training. Some of the biggest are FALI and CALI.
Hi there and Good Morning, I would like to know if the bug"s sweeper do really work.? and do P.I. really used the Canon's and Nikon's cameras . and one more thing There is plenty out there always focus on the positive side of life. I. really thank you for teaching me something about P.I. I am new to the trade.
Hi how's it going just a few quick questions I currently live in Massachusetts I happen to notice you guys are hiring so my question is do you need to be licensed in Massachusetts to work for a firm or only if you are working for yourself or starting your own firm? Thank you in advance.
Hi Dan, no...you do not have to be licensed to work for a licensed firm. In fact, the licensing requirements in Mass require you to work under another PI in order to apply for your own. Unfortunately, I'm not actually hiring right not. What happened is websites like Indeed crawl other sites and post listings based upon their “now hiring” pages. I had a job listing on my site so they copied it and created the listing. I have not posted to that job on any recruiting site, that’s why it links you to my website as opposed to applying right from Indeed’s site. But thanks for watching, keep in touch!
interesting!
Thank you!
i’m super interested in working as a PI when i’m older but how do I start? what kind of studies do i need in college?
Hi Heidy, no you do not need college, although it helped give me an edge when I was applying to PI companies. There are training programs specifically for this work. I recomend piinstitute.com/ or investigativeacademy.com/ ...These are 2 that have been around for years and do a really good job.
do you indicate a good place to take a private detective course in MA? Thank you
Unfortunately with COVID nobody is doing in-person learning for now. But I'd check out piinstitute.com/ for online training!
Sir, what do you know about how tracking, specifically a car, or certain persons location.
Using an electronic device to track could be illegal...depending on the state. Conducting surveillance is not illegal unless the subject being followed has a restraining order against the client...which could happen!
I'm still old school myself!
We're a dying breed! Thanks Ron!
Very interesting work and very informative! I have one question, when PI do get permission to record and gather information. Can that be used in the court of law?
Yes and no...I know, you were anticipating that answer! But in reality it really depends on the type of information that was obtained. For example, some states allow you to record a conversation as long as one person consents. This is not the case in Massachusetts...under no circumstances can you record someone's voice without their knowledge. This law has become blurred the last couple of years as recording cell phones has become much more commonplace. However, anything legally obtained by a 3rd party (such as a private investigator) would probably be admissible in court. But I'm no lawyer!
@@SuburbanSecurityServices No worries, its always different per state like you said. Thanks you for your response!
Yes it Varys by state law, this is usually called the “One Party Consent Rule” just use those keywords to look it up in your state
I work in Florida which is a two party consent state but that means it is an every party consent. However, it is situational. If you walk up to a person(s), even out doors, and have a conversation, and record it, that is pretty much illegal. On the other hand if you are camped out in the driveway of an unoccupied house next to the house of your subject, and said subject has a loud argument with his girlfriend or other in his driveway, and you can hear it, neither of them have an expectation of privacy, so can be recorded. Same for a rally or riot. If the subject is outdoors with a megaphone or just yelling, he or she can be recorded. In most states the underlying rule is whether or not the recordee has an expectation or not of privacy. Same applies to video and photography. If you are out in public, you are fair game in almost every circumstance.
I’m really interested in becoming a PI. Do u have any ideas on how to become one and where to start?
The first thing you need to do is learn all you can. Watch my other video about the books you need to read. Immerse yourself in the subject by subscribing to PI Magazine. Find an online learning/training course. I recommend piinstitute.com/ ...Kelly is one of the best in the business. If you're willing to make the financial and mental commitment you'll have no problem getting into the business.
Try to get a job as a surveillence investigator entry level. Work your way up 3 years and go take the PI test. Pretty straight forward I guess.

Question: if someone asks what you are doing there, what do you tell them?
Great question. I usually have a story ready to go. Usually I look at the area on Google Earth and find a utility or commercial establishment and make my excuse relate to that. For example, if I'm in a strip mall or something I'd say I was waiting for my wife to finish in XYZ store. Residential neighborhoods are a little tricky. One of my surveillance vehicles was a white pickup and I would through a ladder in the back and some empty paint cans and say I was marketing my painting business and provide my fake business cards. You never want to specifically identify a neighbor who you're doing work for. With cell phones they'll call the neighbor and you're busted. If I'm just in my charger and I see someone approaching my window I'll get on my phone and pretend to be in a conversation. That usually keeps the nosey neighbors' questions to a minimum. But get creative. NEVER say you're a government employee or official. That's a recipe for disaster. ALWAYS check in with the local police before setting up a stationary post. That shows good faith and maybe the cops won't respond if they get a call (but sometimes they do anyway). Thanks for watching!
After using the bug detector, when a microphone is detected, what actions are taken on your end?
Easy answer: whatever the client wants! Hard answer: depending on where the camera or electronic device is found, I would document the hell out of it...pics and report...and then remove it. Most times they're located in an easily accessed location like a heat vent or counter top. Most devices are untraceable, meaning there is no way to trace the item back to the person who placed it there...however the client usually knows, otherwise they wouldn't have hired me. Thanks for watching!
@@SuburbanSecurityServices very insightful, thank you for your time.

Do you get cornered and threatened by people you are checking out?
cool vid
Thank you honcho!!
Hi, is there a gadget website that you recommend? Thanks!!
I'll be publishing a book relatively soon and I'll make all my recommendations then. Thanks, Roberta!
Thank you
My family has been getting calls threatening a family members life. Cops say they can't do anything. What do you suggest? We already changed all our numbers. This person is using public domain and calling associated numbers. I'm broke so idk if paying for a PI is the way to go. What if they don't find anything either?
Private investigator will help you, take a bold step today.
I can recommend a few if you don’t mind
I think you got caught going undercover on this case
im working on getting my ged any tips on how to become a pi
Hey Toxiic, the first thing you need to do is learn all you can. You can either read on your own or take a training course...watch my other video about the books you need to read and subscribe to PI Magazine. Take an online training course. I recommend piinstitute.com/ If you're willing to make the financial and mental commitment you'll have no problem getting into the business. Then check Indeed and other job sites periodically for jobs that come up. Good luck!
Usually classes cost about $450-$650. Be ready to pay that. Just look up private investigator training in your area. As well as try and find your states department of criminal Justice services and that’s how you get your registration or license. Honestly you don’t need a lot of money getting started, use your phone voice memos app for voice recording, buy a spy pen on Amazon for $30 and you’re all set.
Big attention at 7:20
Hey I’m 16 about to be 17 and am trying to find a good career. Should I go to be a PI or go into a different law enforcement path such as GBI (for Georgia).
Hey Hunter...it all depends on what you want to do. My suggestion is learn as much as you can about each career by reading, watching videos and talking to those in the profession. Don't forget, you can always change...nothing is permanent. When I was your age, I wanted to be a cop. I loved the uniforms, the discipline, the chase etc. Eventually I did it, enjoyed it and then recognized when it was time to move on. Have no regrets when it comes to your career. Good luck!
I have been a p.i. in Florida for 29 years. My advice after doing this for 29 years? Definitely go the law enforcement route. P.i. is an underpaid profession unless you own your own agency with good steady clients. If you plan on working for a company dont expect to ever earn more thsn 25.00 per hour. At lesst here in Fl. I own my own small agency so I do pretty good. But you have to be a salesman and go out there and market and set appointments to speak to people in i surance companies, law firms etc. And these people get msrketed all the time by numerous companies. The job is not nearly as glamorous as it seems. Lots of 430 or 5a.m. wake ups. Lots of weekends working, no access to a toilet, some elements of danger, boredom. Trust me. It is not a glamorous job. If you go into law enforcement you will have great benefits, good pay and s huge pension at tbe end. You can retire very comfortably. Take tbe advice of a guy whose been doing this almost 30 years. Go into law enforcement.
I'm very interested in getting into PI work. At 58 am I too old?
Never too old! Whatever you want to do, start now! Being a PI is no exception! Thanks, S!
I have a question can a Private investigator work with a non law enforcement group or is that illegal? Also how can a PI arrest someone? Would you need to contact somone eles to do that or can you normally just arrest someone. (Sorry if this doesn't make any sense I'm a 16 year old girl who plans on being a Private investigator)
You cannot arrest anybody. A p.i. is a regular citizen with no powers of arrest. We have no more authority than any citizen.
a private investigator has no authority, you can only do a citizen's arrest like every other citizen
Is there a way to contact you directly?
Sure, shoot me an email, suburbanpatrol@yahoo.com
What's the name of the book you wrote?
Sorry…still in the works, probably by the fall, 2024.
I wanna become a PI how should I get started I’m 17 and just coming outta high school
PI requirements vary by state, but I’ll assume you have to be 18 in your state. I live in Virginia and the requirements here are be 18, and take a 60 hour course and pass the test at the end. The course is full of in classroom and in field skills and techniques. Look up if there if a department of criminal justice services in your state and also try and find a company who offers private investigator training. Should cost anywhere from $450-$650.
Oh and dude look into “Process Serving” in your state and the requirements. It’s an easy, simple way to learn how the system works and make a couple bucks and also make connections

Questions can you find someone in a mental hospital or living on street?
I guess it depends. There are many different techniques to find people, I guess it all depends on what information you have to start with. I'd interview family/friends first, and then follow leads from there. If I believe the person was in an institution, I may do a site visit and ask around. There's no database that'll tell you that and most health professionals will not tell you due to HPPA laws. I've had cases where I was hired to find homeless people and I usually start at the shelters. In Massachusetts it gets cold in the winter, so most will stop off at a shelter even if its for one night. And many people in the homeless community know each other and may be tempted with cash to provide any information. Hope this helps.
@@SuburbanSecurityServices i am his only son i have spoken with my uncle and we are still looking for him . In the case that he has died is there a way we can check dna ?
How much do you charge for this type of case
I guess it depends on several factors. For example, if its a client that shoots me regular work I'd offer a discount, or a bundle rate. Otherwise, I'd offer a flat rate (depending on what's involved) or an hourly rate. The median rate for a private client in Massachusetts is about $125 and hour. The top rate for public defender cases (through CPCS) is about $50 an hour. Hope this answers your question. Thanks for watching.
Just curious as to why the client hired you to take some pics of the injury scene? Isn’t this something they or an acquaintance could have accomplished? TIA
Yes, but its always better for an unbiased, third party to do that in the event it goes to trial. Then, the attorney would call me in to testify as to what I saw in terms of elevation, defects, etc. Very reasonable question, thanks!
Pen and paper always.
What’s the cost of the black box?
All together, probably about $400...with the detector and the quality camera. Thanks for watching, Warren.

How do I become a PI in the USA if I am not a US citizen?
Depends on the licensing agency...I don't think many of them check your legal status, but I do not know. My guess is you'd have to have government issued documents (identification, passport etc.) to prove who you are.
Why do you need a bug sweeper?
To search for hidden cameras and other recording devices
