Investigators-eyeball to eyeball

tell if someone's lying. He said his methods
also came from reading books.
Doing detective work requires a "certain
amount of discipline," he said. For example,
he said he won't drink if he's working.
Most techniques used by private
detectives, investigators and security
personnel working for agencies come from
police experience. However, there is no
amount of investigative training or
experience required to be licensed as a
private detective in Nebraska.
The Nebra secretary of state is
responsible for licensing private detectives.
He determines whether the applicant has the
proper training.
Otherwise, Nebraska statutes requires
only that detectives be 21 year old, a U.S.
citizen and be "of good moral character,
temperate habits," and have a "good
reputation for truth, honesty, and
integrity."
'That's really what it's all about-that
you're a reputable person," one investigator
said. A detective usually doesn't testify in
court, but turns his evidence over to
whomever hired him, he said.
There are thiee kinds of applications
made to the secretary of state's office. One
is for licensing as an independent private
detective. Another allows a detective to
operate an investigative agency. The third
application is for plain-clothes investigators
and security guards licensed only to work
for an agency.
Every person who files an application
from Lincoln is investigated by the
Lancaster County attorney's office.
Each independent detective and agency
also must be bonded in the amount of
$10,000. The bonding, and the license, must
be renewed every two years.
Nebraska Sec. of State Alan Beermann
said that no complaints against detectives
have surfaced since he took office two years
ago. He also said his office has received one
complaint letter in the last five years.
Beermann said he hasn't refused to renew
any licenses, although about three to five
detectives leave agencies each year who
might have been refused.
Another retired member of the Lincoln
Police Department is president of a detective
agency. Arthur Aksamit formed Security
Services in 1963 while he was a detective
lieutenant for the department. He retired in
February,
About 40 persons work for Security
Services, most of whom are security guards
for banks and businesses. The agency has
two investigators besides Aksamit.
Clients who need a private detective
frequently are insurance companies, Aksamit
said. A recent case involved investigating a
girl "trying to nick" her insurance company.
The girl was sueing for a $150,000 claim
for back injuries from a car accident.
Aksamit's detectives came back with film
showing the girf bowling and horseback
riding, he said.
One useful tool often mentioned by
private detectives was a camera with a
telephoto lens and high speed film.
Aksamit was reluctant to talk about other
specific tools and techniques, as were the
other detectives.
"Who knows," he said,
may be investigating you."

What is more natural than your love?
And reflecting this love is Clarissa.
With sunlight-polished leaves of gold.
A diamond solitaire: the moon, the sun, your love.
Branching our to share the feeling of forevermore
