What
others
are saying...
"What is extremely surprising
about using The Guide is that almost 60% of these goverment
sources can be checked for free right on the telephone or fax.
This guide is a major secret weapon used by information brokers,
but why pay others for information you can get yourself for free."
Thomas
Investigative Publications
"Over the past several
years, the practice of background checking has exploded, with
many research firms reporting significant increases in business.
Fees can range from $100 to over $200 per individual, depending
on the occupation of the person. The Guide to Background
Investigations proves to be an attractive alternative for
many employers."
Booklist
"I use my own copy of
The Guide quite often during the conduct of our investigations,
which more and more require contacts in other states. It is one
of the most useful tools we have."
Daniel
F. Sughrue, D.F. Sughrue Associates
"Members may want to
consider investing in a book entitled The Guide to Background
Investigations. It contains a State Records Directory which
shows how to obtain records in each state (criminal records,
driving records, worker's compensation records, licensing boards,
civil court records, etc.) as well as several other directories.
The State Bureau of Investigations uses this book to locate sources
or records in North Carolina and other states."
