CLASS “A” AGENCY OWNERS WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE YOUR PHYSICAL ADDRESS REMOVED FROM THE DOL WEB SITE ?

FALI members who are owners of a home based private investigation business, have long been concerned by the requirement that all A agency owners must list their physical address on the DOL web site.

The DOL policy of posting a physical address on the web site, has been a concern for small business owners, most of whom work out of their private residences.  Larger private investigator businesses maintain an office and their physical well being is not affected by posting their home address. 

Members of the FALI board of directors, as well as FALI president Tim O'Rourke, have lobbied DOL officials to remove the physical address and replace it with a mailing address.   We now have some good news to report. DOL Director Grea Bevis has agreed to remove any A license holder's home address, upon written request.

If you are someone who is concerned about their safety and who would rather your clients not know where you live, then write to the following address and specifically request that they remove your physical address from the DOL license verification web site.  Be sure to list your name, mailing address, the name of your business and your A license number, and a contact telephone number in case the DOL needs to contact you.

Yet another benefit of your membership in Florida's largest professional organization for private investigators.
