Main Event: What is Your Secret Weapon? (Member-Led Session)

The most valuable asset we have is the collective knowledge and exptise within our FALI network. This meeting will be focused entirely on sharing actionable, high-value intelligence.

We are asking every attendee to come prepared to share one thing—be it a tool, a technique, a database, or a niche skill—that you rely on and consider your "Secret Weapon" in your investigative practice. This is your chance to share, learn, and elevate your practice.

Examples to get you thinking:

• A specific, under-utilized OSINT technique.

• A unique piece of gear or technology (like specialized LPR search capabilities).

• A highly efficient business practice (e.g., a client intake or report writing system).

• A networking strategy that consistently drives quality referrals.

Please plan to take 2-3 minutes to present your secret weapon!

Critical Topic: Class G & Florida Open Carry

Following our main session, we will have a brief but cruial discussion on the new Florida open carry law and its specific implications for Private Investigators operating with a Class G license under Chapter 493. We will focus on compliance, maintaining professional standards, and ensuring we operate within the letter of the law while performing our duties.
