5.0 out of 5 stars In depth and inclusive, November 2, 2007

By	Justin K. Tidwell "Jaspercop" (Alabama) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I really enjoyed this book. I have been investigating crimes in the public sector for almost a decade. This book gave me some new ideas and is a great resource for those transitioning to the private sector or just getting into it. I found this book to be very informative and would recommend it to anyone that is going into the field or is already in the field of private investigations.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent reference for both the new and the experienced investigator. , August 9, 2008

By	Michael Chesbro (Rainier, Washington USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

"The Process of Investigation" is an excellent reference for both the new and the experienced investigator. The book is filled with useful information, case examples and formats that can be directly applied to your own investigative work.

"The Process of Investigation: is divided into five major sections:
1. Fundamentals of Security Investigation
2. Methods of Security Investigation
3. Building a Case
4. Applying Investigative Strategies
5. Technological and Specialized Investigative Techniques

Although I have been involved in security and investigations for many years, I still found "The Process of Investigation" to be a very useful reference, and one which I now use when teaching investigation classes.

Highly Recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Very Thorough Introduction to the Investigation Process, July 12, 2008

By	J. Rubino "The Noble Blade" (Hawaii) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is an excellent resource for someone who either has some familiarity in the field of Private Investigations, or for someone who is entering the field and needs to become more familiar with terminology and techniques. The book focuses an entire section on the "Who What When Where Why and How's" for investigations, which I found to be very informative. The information is accurate and is of such high quality that this book is used as recommended reference material for some State Written Examinations for Private Detective Licenses. That should say it all.
