NALI Mid-Winter Conference 2024
Carol Moore, CLI
Title: You did what!!!!!! A look into the inappropriate activities of working investigators.
Description:
Some of us have been investigators longer than others. Times have changed and the inclusion of ethics into any investigative conference is relatively new. We are all basically ethical people who have abided by NALI’s code of conduct as long as we have been members. However, sometimes things happen, situations occur when we have to make an immediate choice. Was it right? Was it wrong? You did WHAT!!!!
We will be talking about those impromptu decisions. We will discuss some of the questionable activities of investigators. And we will be examining the role of ethics in the everyday life of professional private investigators. Our goal is to do no harm. Our job is to obtain information. Surely there is a happy medium where we can accomplish both…ethically.
This is an interactive presentation. Come prepared with your horror stories and your successes. We all learn from each other’s actions. It should be an interesting exploration into the mind of the NALI investigator.
