    PI Licensing: Alaska

    I was researching and still looking for options regarding licensing but I contacted Alaska and they stated that the state does not have a licensing requirement but the counties of Fairbanks and Anchorage do. The requirements for a license do not seem as stringent as other states. May be a good option for those that are interested.

    Advisory: I dont know if this makes any sense, but there is a known investigator licensed in one of the counties of Alaska named Leroy Cook and I know he has written an article titled "Investigators investigating investigators" Maybe someone could add on to this (not the article but on the individual). Just concerned with the title. Thanks.

    I corrected the post description by describing it is a Level 4 area of the site.

    If you have Level 3, then you just need to qualify for Level 4.

    Re: PI LICENSING: Alaska

    I guess when I get Level 4 benefits I will be able to see what message you were trying to convey. Well I dont want anyone to think I am trying to say anything negative about Mr. Cook, in fact he is a very knowledgeable individual with very good advice. I just dont know much about him but read that he is licensed somewhere in Alaska. I am working on the Level 4 benefits, but at the moment there is more $$$ going out than coming in so I have to review my budget first. Brad has been contacted about other options for level 4 benefits.
