Private Investigation in Narcotics Division

Another area that private investigators often work in is the narcotics division of a local, state or federal police department.

Private investigators in Sumter, SC just finished up a three month narcotic investigation, resulting in the arrest of one drug dealer.  Disguised as druggies, the investigators purchased illegal drugs, including cocaine, from the man on several occasions.  The drug dealer even went as far as to sell the druggies a non-narcotic substance, claiming it was a drug.

The investigation came to an end this past Tuesday, July 2, when the investigators arrested the dealer.  He is presently being held at the Sumter-Lee Regional Detention Center pending his trial.

Moms As Private Investigators

Moms are their own private investigators.  God gave them the ability to sense when something is wrong.  They also have the ability to figure things out when no one else even suspects that something is going wrong.

When I was growing up, I always wondered how my Mom always knew what I had done.  I could never hide anything from her, and I'm sure that many of you know exactly what I mean.

When I had my own children, I always told them not to try to hide things from me, because God would always show me sooner or later.  It was so true, and I was often amazed at how He would do exactly that.

Speak Softly Someone May Be Listening

Did you know that the government recently passed the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA)?  Do you have any idea what this means?

In their own words this new law now requires that "telecommunication carriers and manufacturers of telecommunications equipment modify and design their equipment, facilities, and services to ensure that they have the necessary surveillance capabilities."  In common every day words, it simply means that this law makes it easier for law enforcement agencies to tap into your phone, internet connection, VOIP etc.

Undercover Investigation in Polk County, Florida Turns Up 41 Child Predators

June 17, 2013

During the past week private investigators have been conducting surveillance in Polk County, looking for online child predators.  Forty-one were arrested including one female.  The suspects answered ads from places such as Craigslist and Backpage and talked with investigators on social media sites.

Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said that even though this private investigation is the tenth operation of its kind that has been carried out since 2006, and in spite of the fact that the arrests are broadcast through the media and suspects are placed under arrest, men and women continue to travel to Polk County, Florida, to have sex with a child.  He assured the people that private investigators will continue to hunt down and arrest those who come there for that purpose.
Theme park employees, a football coach for youth, an electrician and a law enforcement academy graduate were all a part of those caught in immorality this week.

Among the charges faced by the suspects are things such as unlawful use of a two-way communication device, attempted lewd batter, seduce/solicit/entice to commit a sexual act, drug possession, traveling to meet a minor and procuring a minor for prostitution among other things.
