New Commentary: The Tri-Fecta of Training with Certifications
The role and dedication of Criminal Defense Investigators to
the defense and our judicial system cannot be overstated – it is
vital in the protection of individual Constitutional rights and
our judicial system.

There are two types of certifications and two types of training
available to all professional investigators – those you attend and those you complete – they are not the same. There are
also two types of certifications – those which test your existing knowledge, and those which provide the training and
certification. The CFDI is the first Death and Serious Bodily Injury training and certification for the private sector.

Colorado Bill Watch and Legislative News
The Professional Private Investigators Association of Colorado (PPIAC – www.PPIAC.org) continues to closely monitor
pending and introduced legislation. Colorado has seen multiple bills introduced, which impact our profession and our
clients.
• Prohibit the bulk sale of state data, including DMV records – In testimony the bill sponsor stated this arose from
harassing car warranty calls and this data coming from vehicle sales records. Other testimony corrected this data is
not from DMV records, and prohibiting these records would greatly impact important investigations, such as child
support enforcement. The bill sponsor agreed to revisit the issue if the bill made it out of committee – it did not.
• Require state and local governments to remove all personal data from all records, and notify consumers every 90
days to request removal. This bill was pulled by the sponsor after a $2 BILLION price tag to implement was attached,
requiring 6,500 new employees, and annual costs not much better.
• Security licensing bill introduced in the wake of a Denver unlicensed security guard fatally shooting a protestor in
June 2020. Colorado does not have state licensing, it is to the individual cities and counties. This is being monitored
and the bill sponsor has been receptive to concerns. The governor has already expressed his potential veto.
• New consumer privacy bill introduced. Presently it does not have an impact on the investigative profession and is
being monitored. It does provide for needed consumer protections, the manner may be onerous to big tech.
