JMA offers DNA Paternity Testing

Today I want to cover the topic of DNA Paternity Testing. While I was browsing the internet about this topic. I have read over many blogs, forums, etc.

I have noticed that some women absolutely do not like the fact of having a DNA test done at birth. While I was reading over all this information I also found that almost all Men that are "not sure" prefer to have a DNA test done at birth. So why does this cause such a conflict with the mother and potential father?

Example 1, Mother and Father are not married and Father is "not sure" and would like to have a DNA test done before signing the birth certificate. What is wrong with requesting a DNA test? Not a thing!

Example 2, Mother and Father are married and the Father is 90% sure he is the father. Should he request a DNA test? If he is in doubt then absolutely!

Example 3, Mother gives birth but is unsure of the Father. By locating and tracking down the potential Father we can ask that they take a DNA test to confirm that they are or are not the Father. While we, JMA, can not force anyone to take the DNA test, a judge can order the potential Father to take a DNA test.



What we have to keep in mind, regardless if we are the mother or the father, is that we need to make sure the best interest of the child comes first and then the best interest of the Mother AND Father (equally).

While we can not provide any legal advise, I do base my suggestions or comments from my experience in the State of Florida. If you are unsure that you are the father, you do NOT have to sign the birth certificate. You CAN request a DNA test and you CAN have your name added to the birth certificate at a later time. Once you sign your name, you are the responsible for the child even if he/she is not yours. It is always better to be safe then sorry!

Should you have any questions regarding DNA testing please give us a call.

Valentines Day the # 1 day to cheat?

It is true. Valentines Day is the #1 day of the year to cheat! While many may think the men are the ones cheating, the women are actually doing it as well. In our line of work we have actually found it to be about 50/50 with men vs women. Have you found some text messages in your significant other cell phone and do not know the number? We can help locate the user of that phone as well as provide background information on the subject. If you suspect that your spouse, boyfriend or girlfriend is cheating then give JMA a call. JMA Investigative Services, Inc offers numerous services to assist, including covert video / surveillance and GPS tracking.

Your gut feeling is normally right!

We offer a FREE consultation and we are here to help.

A Message from Senator Baker

Many of you previously received a personal email from JMA Investigative Services, Inc. inviting you to "SAVE THE DATE" with Senator Baker on February 21st, 2010 in Clearwater, FL. We received this email February 12th, 2010 from FASCO
Date: February 12, 2010
From: KC Poulin, CPOI, CPS, CHS-III, ATO President, FASCO President/CEO, Critical Intervention Services, Inc.
To: Owners, Managers and Operators of Private Security Agencies in Florida
SUBJECT: A MESSAGE FROM SENATOR BAKER
Dear FASCO Members, I am honored to have received the John M. Russi Award, as well as the Florida Association of Security Officers' endorsement for my Commissioner of Agriculture race. The support of security officers means a great deal to me, both personally and professionally. Those who protect the rights and safety of others deserve the very best. I have worked to ensure that our security officers have the best equipment, the best training, and the best environment to protect Floridians. As a state legislator, I have sponsored and supported bills which enhanced the personal safety and protection of Licensed Security Officers. I sponsored the bill which allowed security officers to upgrade their weapons, so they would be better equipped to handle any potential threats. I also sponsored legislation which increased the penalties for assaulting a security officer, raising punishment to the same level as assaulting a police officer. As some of my closest and most dedicated supporters, you deserve to hear this message from me first. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the help you have given me in my campaign for the Commissioner of Agriculture seat. You've answered the calls, reached out to friends and helped make a difference in this race. As with any campaign, you have to achieve certain objectives to set yourself up for victory. I had to prepare myself to wage a full-scale campaign that would give Floridians a chance to see what I had to offer them if elected Commissioner of Agriculture. This would not be an easy task in a big state like ours, but nothing ever worth pursuing is easy. Unfortunately, I was unable to meet those goals. And so I was faced with a difficult decision, but ultimately a necessary one. With so many other challenges to address in our state, particularly in the Legislature, it would be wrong of me to continue a campaign when I have not met the goals I need to win. It's time for me to choose where I am most prepared to help the people of Florida. Today, I will be announcing my withdrawal from the Commissioner of Agriculture race. As Chairman of the General Government Appropriations Committee in the Florida Senate, I can be a voice for sound fiscal policies that will help bring jobs back to Florida and reduce the burden of wasteful government spending on small businesses and families. While I withdraw my candidacy with a heavy heart, I know that as a full-time Senator, I can continue to make a difference and make you proud. Once again, thank you for your trust and support in this campaign. You've stood by me and have never let me down, and your efforts have helped move this campaign and bring a number of important issues to the debate over Florida's future. I'm proud to have earned your friendship, and I hope to keep that trust as I finish out my term in the Senate. Best wishes, Carey carey@careybaker.com

TELL US YOUR CONCERNS AND ISSUES AND LET US FIGHT FOR YOU
The Florida Association of Security Companies (FASCO) is the largest professional organization of its kind in the state of Florida, and we are still growing. We attribute our successes to the efforts of our members. Imagine what we can accomplish as we move into the future!
Our mission is to work with our members and state regulators to promote professionalism and improve the image of private security in Florida. We support law enforcement and other emergency services in protecting our citizens and property, and in being an integral part of Florida's homeland security and hurricane recovery programs. We are a respected voice representing our industry to the Florida Legislature and other political entities. Through it all, we promote responsible managerial practices among our members and encourage the reporting of unlicensed, unethical or illegal practices.
In our efforts to promote the professionalism and improve the image of our industry over the last few years we joined with professional organizations representing law enforcement and saw some significant accomplishments: 2005: We successfully lobbied for a change in FS493 to allow 'G' licensed security officers to carry 9mm semi-automatic pistols 2006: We successfully lobbied for a change in FS794 to elevate battery on a licensed security officer to a third degree felony. 2007: We successfully lobbied for a change in FS316 to allow security vehicles to display amber and green lights. 2008: We established joint conferencing with the Florida Association of Licensed Investigators. 2009: We became a Founding Member in the Council of Presidents representing all Chapter 493 licensees, and FASCO successfully prevented the raiding from the Division of Licensing Trust Fund by the legislature.
In the coming years, among other legislative efforts, we hope to see changes in FS493 that will expressly allow security officers the authority to detain subjects who commit crimes on or threaten the properties we protect. We also hope to offer direct support to our members in the form of better access to professional development opportunities, business management tools, and networking with other owners and managers.
All FASCO board members are owners or senior managers of private security agencies in Florida who donate our time to these efforts. Your membership dues support FASCO directly by funding our John M. Russi Award, which is presented to one outstanding security officer each year; supporting our website; supporting lobbying efforts; and providing for miscellaneous office and administrative supplies. Most importantly, your membership and active participation adds incredible power to our voice as we move to improve our industry.
If you are a serious security professional and have a genuine interest in supporting our industry as we move forward, we encourage you to join FASCO today!
