The Georgia Board of Private Detective and Security Agencies recently passed rule 509-3-.12 Continuing Education. You can read the full text of the rule here:

Georgia Board Rules on Private Investigator Continuing Education

This new rule requires any private detective or security agent who plans to renew their license prior to the August 31st deadline for renewal.

The minimum requirements for Continuing Education are:

Security:
  • 2 hours in Homeland Security, to include, but not limited to, indicators of terrorism, and cooperation with Homeland Security agencies
  • 2 hours in Firearms-related training
  • 4 hours in industry-related training

Private Investigation:

  • 2 hours in Homeland Security, to include, but not limited to, indicators of terrorism, and cooperation with Homeland Security agencies
  • 2 hours in ethics
  • 12 hours in industry-related training, which may include up to 4 hours of firearms-related training.


Jonas M. Berwick - Certified Instructor - Georgia Instructor License: CLTR000028

This program is for currently licensed private detectives who desire an alternate continuing education plan, which is less expensive and less formal while providing all necessary hours of Continuing Education as required by law.

Our course will take place over two full days, with a 56 minute break for lunch. Lunch will NOT be provided so please bring your own lunch.

What past students have said about this class:

"Jonas, I think overall the seminar was fine. It certainly covered the points needed by the board." - Bill Jones, Dataprobe

"Jonas, I appreciated the way you ran the seminar - promptly and professionally, and enjoyed your sense of humor! My initial assessment would probably have been tainted by the fact I didn't want to be there.However, the past couple of days, I realized I enjoyed portions of it :) and found myself relating some of things I learned to friends and family." - Suzanne Moseley. PI

"Ya'll did an excellent job. If you really want to see a bad job for PI CE go to one of the seminars GAPPI does." - Karen Duncan. Delta Group Investigations

"I enjoyed the seminar and all of the speakers were informative and entertaining. I would like to attend your next seminar." - Henry Ford, Sr.

"I thought that overall the entire weekend was a 8 and was pleased ..it was long at times and that is just 16 hrs being what it is." - Todd Mundy, PI

"I want to personally thank you for organizing and presenting the conference. I have a great deal of respect for your experience, judgement, and real world perspective" - Ken Moffat, PI

"You did a good job and did it for a great price. I for one appreciate getting all the hours I need in one weekend and not being required to take and pay for seminar after seminar to get what I need to meet my CE requirements." - Tina Elkins, TAMA Investigtions


"I enjoyed the seminar and the topics covered. It was a good value for the money, much less expensive than some others I had checked into. I would be interested in attending again next year." - Carol Chester, Alternative Services

"I thought all of the presenters did a fine job.  I find it hard to rate someone on the list as anything other than "Excellent". Additionally, I thought when Jonas stood in front of the room and shared some of his personal experiences, it was one of the bravest things I've ever seen.  I found that particular part of the seminar insightful and inspiring.  These days I often find myself cynical when it comes to this line of work.  The job can be exhausting and usually thankless.  And at times I find myself in some serious need for inspiration.  Having heard Jonas share some of his personal tragedies and triumphs, reminds me of the human element of the business that we're in.  Furthermore, Jonas' advice that it is the "service" given to the client lent credence to what I've been telling people for years, deliver more than you bill for, and in doing so, expect particular clients to use your services for years to come. Thanks again!!!"  - Joe Meadows
