Who am I?
I am a licensed private investigator. A few years ago I wrote a book on how to break into the industry with little or no experience. It was specifically focused on getting your first role as a private investigator.
Now I’m following that up with this newsletter. Not only will it cover your first role, but it will also give you the tools and resources you need to succeed as a P.I., investigative journalist or any other type of investigator.
Even if you’re an experienced investigator, you’ll find plenty of relevant info here, as well as opportunities to connect with other investigators from around the world.
There are a lot of great resources out there. This newsletter will gather all that up and deliver it to you every week.
So what are you waiting for? If you want to become an investigator, or if you’re already in the industry and hungry to learn, subscribe now.

How to become a private investigator by Kurt Breetvelt
Here’s what a reader has to say:
"Your advice and book structure has been the most easy to follow out of all the PI courses and books I've picked up. Your book is the first that actually breaks down the mindset and actions required... find out what value I can add to the PI firm of interest, look for skills I may already have that aren't necessary directly PI skills but good for their business, and be persistent in reaching out to offer assistance. Also, getting my hands on old cases to study is a brilliant idea. This makes a lot of sense."
