Private Investigator Class Offered Through Extension

Have you ever wanted to know what other people know about you? Have you ever wondered about the paperwork and computer information trail you leave through official documents and records? Well, a class offered by College of the Canyons Community Extension will teach you investigation techniques to help you find out. In California, no license is needed as long as you are investigating yourself.

“How to be your own private investigator” is a class taught by Jim Harriger, a retired detective, private investigator and expert in the areas of fraud and forgery. He is also the owner of Harriger Investigations. The class will teach you how and where professional investigators obtain their information. He’ll teach you about public records and how to search them, as well as provide information about databases that help you do asset searches, background investigations and skiptracing.

This three-hour class will meet from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. on Wednesday, November 14 on the COC campus. The registration fee is $29 with optional materials available inclass.
