ABOUT THIS MEETING:
This is a FREE event, sponsored by FALI, Florida Association of Licensed Investigators, however you do NOT need to be a member to attend!! We believe networking is important for everyone in our profession. We welcome LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS, SECURITY PROFESSIONALS, PROCESS SERVERS & STUDENTS IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE PROGRAMS, INTERNS, and YES, you can bring your SPOUSES!
ABOUT OUR SPEAKER:
We are so very proud to introduce FALI member, Johnston Blakely,
president of On Track Investigations and Gumshoe Productions in Palm
Beach, as our guest speaker. Johnston has also 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."
TOPIC: "SURVEILLANCE"
Johnston
says that 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 MADE EASIER' that
will address many issues that surveillance techs encounter. In
his presentation, he will cover a number of topics including the case
intake, the pre-surveillance, the setup, unmanned devices, the follow,
filming, and much more! "Video surveillance is the recording of truth", states Johnston, "My camera records what God sees, but from a different angle".
NETWORK! NETWORK! NETWORK!
This is the PERFECT meeting for you if you ever need to hire surveillance investigators (there will be plenty of them here!)
It is also the perfect meeting for you if you specialize in
surveillance and are looking to do subcontract work for other agencies!

Holiday Inn in Hollywood is being kind enough to offer us a conference
