Missing Persons

[tancam]

Hey all. Again...another newbee. Just starting cert III. Have been asked to visit the forum and ask about the 'main concerns an investigator should be aware of with missing persons inquiries'.
Hope someone will be kind enough to shed some light.
Cheers :wink:

Hi tancam,

Welcome to the forum. Your question is a very common one. As a student investigator you need to learn to think laterally and outside of the box. The answer to almost every question you may have about private investigation can be found within this forum by using the Search function which is located on the top right of the screen. Goodluck with you studies  

P.S It would be great if your were to introduce yourself and tell us a bit about yourself such as your past experiences and what has led you to choose to study private investigation

Hi Guys, I'm Paul and I'm another newcomer to the Cert 111 course. I am required, like others, to ascertain "What are some of the main concerns with missing persons enquiries".
Any responses would be appreciated by me too.
I have a diverse background in some interesting positions. I currently have a senior role managing accident investigaions in work places. I also have a long managerial history in the correctional services system.
I am interested in progressing in the investigative services field with a view to starting my own operational business. Interestingly, it's the missing persons field I have an interest in as I have known many people who have had missing members of their families and understand the detrimental affect it has on them.
Cheers,
Paul.

In a nutshell; put yourself in the position of the person who is seeking the missing person, yourself as an investigator and finally the person who is being sought after.

Three people; three different agendas.  Imagine you as each of them, as well as their agendas.  Quite a few scenarios will pop up, however, I believe the most important one is, "Once I have located the missing person, what can I (as an investigator) do next - e.g. legally, morally, ethically."

I do hope that very soon I will be elaborating further on this subject of locating persons and if it comes to fruition, will post on this forum.
