South Bay-Long Beach District Report

On Saturday, September 9, 2016, the South Bay/Long Beach District presented a Training Meeting with Private Investigator and CALI Member Jan Tucker, with the subject of “Public Records and How to get Them”. The Saturday morning training was held at the Torrance Moose Lodge.

Mr. Tucker gave in-depth information, detailed citations of authority, provided forms and “go-by” examples for various inquiries and requests for public records. Because of his extensive experience, Mr. Tucker provided informative illustrations
on how investigators could use the following tools:

¿ The federal Freedom of Information Act (FOIA),
¿ The California Public Records Act,
¿ The California Legislature Open Records Act
¿ Touhy Requests
¿ California Information Practices Act.

After the presentation, Mr. Tucker had a question and answer session. A number of attendees remarked that they were anxious to apply the newly acquired tools to their investigations.

During lunch, attendees had an informal information sharing session. The South Bay/Long Beach District owes Mr. Tucker thanks for a great and very informative presentation.

Also, CALI Vice President Maki Kudaka and Orange County District Co-Governor Cynthia Cavalie got up early and provide extensive support for the logistics of the meeting! Thank you!

Maki Kudaka and Isadore Hall III

After the training session I invited CALI Vice President Maki Kudaka to come over to an event with State Senator Isadore Hall, who has been a great advocate for private investigators. Hall was recently appointed to the California Agricultural Labor Relations Board by Governor Brown.


About Jan Tucker

The Detectives Diary is an innovative tool combining Private Investigation and Journalism. In 1984, Steve Harvey's Los Angeles Times "Around the Southland" Column entitled Jan Tucker's program of providing low-cost "Opposition Research" services to indigent and working class candidates for public office, "Take Cover: Hired Mudslinger Rides into Town." A 1996 Los Angeles Times article by Henry Chu carried a sub-headline identifying Tucker as a "P.R. Guru." In November 2012, Tucker became Criminal Justice Columnist for Counter Punch Magazine and a commentator for Black Talk Radio. As a private investigator since 1979 and a former First Vice President of Newspaper Guild Local 69, Tucker takes these skills to a new level in the pages of the Detectives Diary with insightful and unique exposures and analysis of history and current events.
