Speaker:  Rebecca Roberts of IRB Search and Johnston Blakley of On-Track Investigations
Topic:   GLBA and the Impact on PI's and Conducting a Professional Surveillance
Location: S2 Institute
Time:  Dinner will be at 5:30PM at S2 -Presentation begins at 6:00PM

The first presentation by Rebecca Roberts of IRB Search, will explain how Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act: (GBLA) affects the professional private investigator.  You do not want to miss this informative program.


Our second speaker will be Johnston Blakley is the president of On Track Investigations Inc. in North Palm Beach, Florida and Investigative Training LLC., an on-line private investigator school.

Several years ago, Johnston immigrated to the United States, married his wife, Dana, and then in 1995, applied for a job as a surveillance technician with a local PI agency.  His training involved riding with another investigator for two half-days before being "thrown to the wolves".  On his first case, Johnston filmed an "injured" woman dancing in a ballet.  After her partner lowered her back to the ground from overhead, Johnston knew that this was the right career for him.

In 1999, Johnston and Dana started On Track Investigations.  The company has grown into a statewide agency that handles many types of insurance defense investigations.

In 2009, Johnston started a PI training company to combat what he believes is a severe lack of training in the industry. "Most agencies will either not hire talented interns due to training costs or when they do, the PI intern mostly experiences "solo-training in the combat zone"".

PI work and especially video surveillance requires a lot of fast attention to detail in a variety of environments and Johnston has put together a training class called 'SURVEILLANCE SITUATIONS' that will address many issues that surveillance techs encounter.  This is the least formulaic specialty in PI work which can make it the most difficult to learn, but being trained from someone who has done thousands upon thousands of surveillances, you will reach a new level.

 

We will cover:

  • Case Intake
  • The Pre-Surveillance
  • The Setup
  • The Follow
  • Filming
  • Client Update
  • Making Money - The Surveillance Mill

"Video surveillance is the recording of truth", states Johnston, "My camera records what God sees but from a different angle".


For those attending there will be other investigators on hand as early as 4:30 PM for early networking. Credit for CEU’s for our Florida Certified Investigators (FCI) will be issued for this meeting.

At the last FALI area meeting in Tampa, there were forty (40) private investigators and guest present representing thirty-two (32) private investigative agencies.  After the presentation by Investigator Chuck Olson of the Tampa DOACS/DOL Office concerning FS 493 information that benefited "A", "C" and "CC" licensed investigators, there was a short roundtable meeting with questions and answers provided about varies subjects reference investigators and agencies.  Also present we "CC" licensed investigators in search of sponsors, and at least one agency disseminating information regarding a need or opening for "C" or "CC" licensed investigators.
