Let’s hope that the course will also make these young students aware that while they are in class studying, that the politicians are constantly taking away investigators abilities to cost effectively do their jobs. The United States data services are no longer allowed to provide the information from US brokers, which is causing investigator to have to pay 10 to 100 times more to foreign data brokers for the same information that is vital in finding John Smith that has committed identity theft. Please be sure to let them know just how many years and hours, they must work under a licensed agency paying over $350.00 each year for licensing and how they must get a certain number of continuing education credits each year and how much that cost. In short before you shell out $175.00 plus for some course, make sure that there is even an agency out their that might be willing to hire you some day in the future when the economy gets better. Even DMV is on the money grabber band wagon trying charge an extra $20.00 to expedite license plate information that must be obtained right away, or you can not pay the extra money and just let them mail it to you. You should also find out if the course credits are accepted by SLED as continuing education credits or not.
