By Susanna Speier Denver Private Investigator Blogger What better way to hone your aerial navigation skills than borrowing the company drone to shoot wildfires over the Fourth of July holiday, right?  Actually, according to Colorado Public Radio, some of Colorado's 1st responder, firefighting drones were grounded due to interference from recreational drones and the situation's become so dire that Colorado Senators Cory Gardner (Republican) and Michael Bennet (Democrat) are now pushing for federal legislation to make drone flying over wildfires a federal felony. They're calling it the SAFER Act (Securing Airspace for Emergency Responders). Ever the outlier, Aspen, Colorado, by contrast, plans to light up the Fourth of July sky with a fifty drone show! You can't beat that --- or can you?  Boulder's drone company Black Swift, according to The Daily Camera, has won a NASA contract to develop a drone to study the atmosphere of Venus. So there's that. It is being funded through the federal government's Small Business Innovation Research program and is expected to complete phase one in six months for --get this-- $125,000!! The Daily Camera article, written by Lucas High, also points out that last year Black Swift developed another NASA funded drone for $875,000 that will be studying the inside of a Hawaiian volcano later this year.  By Susanna Speier Denver Private Investigator Blogger Do detectives frequent luxury liners outside of Agatha Christie mystery novels? Not usually. That’s about to change, however, thanks to California and Arizona licensed Private Investigator, owner of Allen Investigations, LLC and now P.I. Cruises creator, Debra Allen. Although the retired law enforcement officer’s new initiative isn’t launching without pushback –--a few naysayers have actually expressed concern regarding the potential impact on the field’s credibility--- that isn’t stopping private investigators from working Labor Day, Columbus Day and Veterans Day cruises to The Bahamas, Alaska and Mexico into their schedules. The concept of training vacations is “new to PIs but not new to mortgage lenders, Bankers and Realtors.” Allen points out that it's a great way to mix and mingle more with classmates and instructors and that people will also absorb more information when they're relaxed and in vacation mode. Hop on board and you'll have the opportunity to earn up to 12 continuing education credits and get up to twelve hours of training. Ship fees (including room and food) are only $85 a night and there will be additional charges for course fees. Land a spot on one of the three maiden cruises of 2017 and those course fees will be waived! Because training takes place over a four or five day period --a break from the traditional and more condensed hotel weekend retreats Allen finds tiring--- the protracted schedule will encourage class discussion to spill out onto the poolside sun deck and later into the piano lounge. If you find yourself missing Colorado's verticals there's even a climbing wall. Tropical attire is encouraged and one of the nights includes a formal dinner. Accident investigator, ACTAR (Accreditation Commission for Traffic Accident Reconstruction), certified re constructionist and Monument, Colorado based private investigator, Michael Miranda (who is also giving workshops in Denver and Ft Collins in June and July) will be an instructor on the Mexico trip. So if you want to learn more about accident investigation, according to Allen, “you’ve got four days to see him and buy him a cocktail.”  By Susanna Speier Denver Private Investigator Blogger Has anyone taken the time to walk you through the state-of-the-art traffic accident reconstruction technologies now available? If you are a Colorado private investigator or lawyer who would like to get a better grasp on FARO 360 and how 3D laser scanners can be used, here's your chance. ACTAR (Accreditation Commission for Traffic Accident Reconstruction) certified re constructionist, Michael Miranda will teach day-long intensives for PIs and attorneys starting this month. The first course is being held in Colorado Springs and is worth 8 C.L.E. credits Denver and Ft Collins workshop dates will follow soon. After Miranda retired from a long-time Colorado State Trooper career in 2008, he set up shop as a Monument based private investigator. Altogether he has testified as an accident reconstruction expert in the U.S. District Court, Military Courts and State Courts throughout Colorado and investigated over 4,000 accidents. His Colorado Springs workshop runs 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on March 31st 2017. It takes place at Hotel Elegante Conferences & Event Center which is located at 2886 S. Circle Drive, Colorado Springs, CO 80906 and registration begins at 8:00 a.m. The Denver workshop will take place on June 2nd and the Fort Collins workshop is happening at some point in July. Times and locations are still being finalized and will be announced shortly. Workshop fee for private investigators is $149 and $229 for attorneys.
