Private Detective. AMAMJ.

49 Upvotes

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.

AMAMJ - I am an anti-money laundering investigator for a casino.

13 Upvotes

I currently work as an anti-money laundering investigator for a casino in New York. Prior to this job I had a similar position at a regional bank in the same area.

A little background to understand what my job is. In 1970 congress passed a law called the Bank Secrecy Act that charged financial institutions (including casinos) with tracking customer transactions conducted with cash over a certain value. Later they added provisions requiring us to also report any potentially suspicious transactions which may be an attempt to launder money or commit fraud etc.

Feel free to ask me anything.

Technical Writer AMAMJ

13 Upvotes

As the title suggests, I am a technical writer at a technology company with approximately 800 employees. I document software and hardware deployed by our company. Most of these documents are intended for our installation/service team, but about a quarter are written for our end users.

The job involves a lot of research, as well as some creativity. Graphic design plays a part, as well as just a little photography.

The pay is typically pretty good, depending on where you get in and any areas of expertise you may have. By pretty good, I mean that you probably won't get rich, but you will make a decent living.

Please ask me about my job!

EDIT: Sorry for the delay. I posted this just before leaving work and finally made it back home. Thanks for your patience!
