Current Place Of Employment Locates-Collecting From Deadbeat Parents By Ed Opperman At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

As a private investigator sooner or later you'll be asked to find out where someone works. This is called a current employment locate or a POE.

There are several reasons why a client may need to find out where someone works. But before you begin this job you should try to verify if the client has a legitimate reason to request a current place of employment locate. This way you prevent someone that may be a stalker from obtaining this information.

Permissible reasons for a POE:

1. Collection of a judgment
2. Child support enforcement
3. Service legal papers
4. Vehicle repossession
5. Fugitive recovery.

There are many other permissible reasons but as a profession you must use good judgment as with any investigation.

How to locate a person's employment:

Old timers in this profession will immediately attempt a surveillance. They will try to follow the subject to work in the morning. This can be very costly to the client. You can begin a surveillance on a Monday morning at say 5 AM. The subject may have left already, they may work nights. They may be sick that day, on vacation or have that day off. Even if you catch him leaving the house you might lose him or get burned.
Surveillance can be expensive.

Another thing you can try is a curbside investigation. You drive by the house on trash day and take their trash bags from the curb. Try to replace their trash bags with decoy bags of the same color. You can bring your own but if the size and color don't match you can get some from a neighbor.
(Be sure to check your local laws on curbside trash removal first)

You can also try a pretext call to trick the subject into revealing where they work. This is only advisable as a last resort and should only be attempted by an experienced telephone pretexter that can think fast. If you get burned on the phone you could blow the investigation.

Database services. There are little known databases that can reveal a persons employment. These are only available to licensed PI's for legitimate permissible use.

Sources. Every PI has to be constantly developing sources with access to inside information that will act as tipsters to provide an investigator with the information they need.

Many times a PI will be too busy to do all this preparation and leg work on their own. Instead they will rely on another PI that brokers thins kind of information in bulk. They are already set up with the necessary databases, trap lines , pretext scripts and insider informants. They routinely buy and sell this kind of information all day long.
A PI may find it easier to outsource this kind of job rather than weed through someone else's dirty garbage.

In the end the decision is up to you how you will locate a persons place of employment. You can get yourself set up and prepared for repeat jobs or farm it out to a PI that buys and sells this type of information.
