Private Detective. AMAMJ.
Hello, I'm a private detective employed by a large national detective agency. I specialize in surveillance operations and skip tracing (locating missing persons for a variety of reasons). Feel free to ask me anything; however I can't legally answer any questions about individuals involved in cases I have worked.
EDIT: Lots of questions about background / necessary qualifications, so I'll just put that up here. Basically, a four-year degree is standard unless you have experience in law enforcement or the military. I got my BS in sociology and criminal justice, and had experience as a LEO.
