FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
December 8, 2007
National Council of Investigation and
Security Services
7501 Sparrows Point Blvd.
Baltimore, MD 21219
The National Council of Investigation and
Security Services condemns the theft of private,
protected personal information from government
agencies. An indictment was recently brought
against a number of individuals who are alleged
to have obtained records from the Social
Security Administration and Internal Revenue
Service without consent. If the allegations are
true, then strict enforcement is certainly
appropriate.
The alleged actions of this small group of
people are not representative of the many
licensed private investigators who work every
day to fight fraud, locate witnesses and support
the
US
system of justice.
Licensed private investigators conduct lawful
inquiries for attorneys, insurance companies and
other legitimate clients using traditional
investigative tools. It is never acceptable for
anyone to impersonate an actual individual to
obtain that individual’s confidential
information.
