Private Investigations in New Jersey

New Jersey Licensed Private Investigators Association

The annual New Jersey Licensed Private Investigators Association (NJLPIA) Seminar was held yesterday at the Raritan Valley Regional Public Safety Institute in North Branch, New Jersey.

Lisa Reed, Owner of LSR Investigations, Flemington, NJ is also the Vice President of the NJPLIA and runs the event yearly with coordination and cooperation from members of the Board and her own employees.  The day moves from speaker to break to speaker without a hitch.  At 5pm when the event wraps up, you are actually hoping there is yet another speaker to divulge something else or something new about the Private Investigators' work.    

The room was filled with over 100 men and women, who you know have first hand experience on some very intense and difficult facts of life.  Representatives from the FBI, former NJ law enforcement, private law firms, and local and national private investigation agencies share knowledge on best practices in electronic surveillance, "expectancy of privacy" laws interpretation in New Jersey vs. other states, interview skills and very practical advice on how to increase your business in today's economy.  As an affiliate member to this private investigators' association, the topics covered and the speakers are all very interesting and educational.  The day in the life of a private investigator can be in front of a computer zeroing in on who sent an offensive email or who is stealing from the company to in front of a private home trying to figure out if that municipality or county has "privacy" laws about garbage left at the curb.  For those spouses concerned about infidelity and interested in putting a GPS on your partner's car - make sure your PI understands how the law works in your town, municipality or State. Another speaker talked about a "faraday" bag which blocks signals into or out of a cell phone without turning the phone off.  Great gadget to help trace history and information stored in cell phones.    

The vendors at this event are varied.  Books and other media to assist PIs in their investigations line the walls of one side of the room.  The other side had a Defensive Firearm Training representative and instructor on the use of Batons, OC spray and Handcuffs.  A web- based personal information locator company who compiles all the public records information about anyone from anywhere and compresses it down to a readable format, an inventor of a "glow in the dark" safety latch for  firearms training product, a DNA testing company offering tests to confirm/deny infidelity and other family relationships via biological fluids and a Drug and Alcohol testing service company.

The members of this association have spent years protecting the public and have chosen to continue to serve the public by honing their investigative skills, aligning themselves with law firms so that "leg" work can be accomplished using prior law enforcement training and updating their technical skills to be effective in today's electronic environment.  Our thanks to Cynthia Hetherington, Host for this event and President of the NJLPIA for extending the invitation to DNA Services of America to once again attend this event.
