PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Patrick Cote, President

2024

I am pleased to be elected to President of the Arizona Association of Licensed Private Investigators (AALPI) for 2024-2025.  It is an honor and privilege to serve this fine organization. Having been a member since 2007 and have held various positions, I have seen much growth and professionalism.  This is due to our past presidents Dan Bekins, Robert Nalett, and many other board members. We have come a long way under their leadership. I have appointed Larry Rives as Vice President and Shawna Birchard, Member at Large to fill existing positions. They will bring many years of experience to assist the board of directors.

We are gaining new members each year to be part of our organization.  One might ask, why should we join?  The answer is simple.  As an organization, we can help grow your business by networking opportunities or by reaching out to seasoned members. We also provide leads on our Listserv for new job opportunities. We are also pleased to provide training for private investigators, members, and nonmembers. It is important to learn about new trends in the private investigator industry. As you might already know, if you are on contract with Maricopa OPDS, they require continuing education credits.  Our training is approved for continuing education credits. In addition, we provide online training by a 3rd party vendor.  The topics offered are very interesting and informative.

This year we are celebrating our 50th anniversary as an organization at our conference on September 14 &15, 2024, and it will be held at Venue 8600 in Scottsdale. Last year, they did an excellent job so we will be back there again.

This year our conference will be one not to miss on this special anniversary. We will be making announcements as we get closer. Do not miss our Spring training on May 11, 2024.  Our local DNA expert, Deborah Stonebarger, Secretary of AALPI will be giving a presentation on DNA.  This is an important topic.

We can help you with any issue that affects the private investigator industry. We are open to new ideas, and we would like to hear from you.  If you have any questions or concerns, you can reach out to me.

My phone number is 520-560-3547.
