As a result of his three decades of work, Caune offers several tips for those interested in the growing professional industry of private investigation -- a field in which Caune is licensed across multiple states:
- Learn about various required state licenses. Caune holds multiple licenses with validity in numerous states. For example, he holds his alarm license and his private investigation license in multiple states. But Alabama, for instance, has no licensing requirements. Become educated about what entity regulates licenses and acquire the proper ones, if necessary.
- Meet (and exceed) experience requirements. Education isn’t always required to become a private investigator, but occasionally it is, as is experience. Ensure you meet the minimum requirements and/or exceed them for every license.
- Receive firearms training. Carrying a weapon without proper training and certification is simply illegal. Complete proper schooling and standards.
