I want to start by giving you a little infor-

mation about myself. My wife is Connie,

who is retired as of June of 2015. We have

two daughters, Lynn who is married to Jus-

tin and they live in Beaver Crossing with the

4 grandchildren. We see them about every

week at ball games etc. Our other daughter

Jill is married to Dan and they live in Pough-

keepsie, New York. Jill was back in June for

a wedding. We usually go out to New York

about once a year. We will be going east

after conference is over.

We are about two months away from this

year’s annual training conference. This

year’s conference will be held Wednesday,

September 28th - Friday, September 30th at

the Holiday Inn in Kearney, Nebraska.

NCSEA’s Executive and Full Boards have

been working diligently on plans for the

upcoming conference. This year’s confer-

ence theme is Child Support Making a

World of Difference with an Amazing Race

theme. Mark your calendars to set these

dates aside for conference.

Our Vice President Lisa McNeece is in the

process of finalizing the Agenda for this

year’s conference. The agenda will offer a

wide range of topics. This is the 35th An-

nual Training Conference. The agenda will

offer a lot of different sessions that meet

the needs of the Clerks, new CSE worker,

child support attorney or a seasoned CSE

worker. I encourage you to take a look at

the preliminary agenda in this newsletter

and it will be available on the association’s

website at www.ncsea.info.

There will be no shortage of Legal

sessions at this year’s conference.

We will have Continuing Legal Edu-

cation (CLE) accreditation for the

attorney’s. If you know of an attor-

ney that would benefit from the

CLE’s please let them know, by giv-

ing them our website address of

www.ncsea.info.

NCSEA will continue to “go green”

and the conference sessions materi-

als will be available online. The Holi-

day Inn provides free Wi-Fi Internet

access throughout their facility.

I hope you have enjoyed the 4th of

July and enjoy the rest of the sum-

mer. Mark your calendars and send

in your registration forms as soon as

possible. I am very excited about

the excellent conference agenda and

can’t wait to see all of you at the

end of September.

I hope this newsletter finds you

happy and healthy; enjoying the

summer heat and Nebraska

Good Life.

The past few months have been

BUSY! We have sponsors, speak-

ers, a theme, an agenda, our

food and drink selection is com-

plete, and the fund raising com-

mittee has been busy gathering

door prizes. It’s impressive the

amount of work that gets done

when you have passionate vol-

unteers. I should also mention

the fun we have, everyone works

hard and plays harder.

I’m proud of the final agenda, I

think you’ll enjoy the lineup. I

won’t go through the entire

agenda here because we’ve

included it on pages 6 & 7. We

have something special every

day and lots of CLE opportunities

for our legal partners. As usual, a

CLE session will be offered each

breakout session. In many in-

stances, more than one CLE ses-

sion will be available each

breakout.

On Wednesday we have Ron

Brown from Oklahoma who spe-

cializes in skip tracing and asset

location. Based on my interac-

tion with Ron and material I’ve

read about him these sessions

promise to be informative and

entertaining. Ron and Collection

Advisor Magazine have given us

permission to republish an article

that Ron wrote last year. Look for

the article on pages 10 & 11. The

article includes some interesting

websites for locating people and

their assets. Wednesday also in-

cludes sessions for Legal Ethics

and Crimes against Children. The

evening festivities include a re-

ception, buffet dinner, and an

opportunity to network with oth-

ers who share your passion for the

CSE program.

Thursday we’ll start the day with a

plenary session presented by Of-

ficer Wade Bently and Sgt. Jim

Duering from the Grand Island

Police Department. They will talk

with us about what to do in an

Active Shooter situation. Thursday

evening you’ll have dinner on

your own and then the hospitality

suite will be open for more fun

and socializing with friends.

We wrap things up on Friday with

our Keynote speaker, Carmen

Schwab. Carmen will talk with us

about creating WOW moments

and experiences for our custom-

ers and within our teams.

I was amazed at the number

of people who were willing to

speak at our conference. I

kept waiting, even expecting

someone to say NO. Everyone

I talked with was eager to par-

ticipate and had nothing but

good things to say about the

association and the Nebraska

CSE Program. I hope this gives

you the same sense of pride it

gave me. What a great thing

it is to be associated with

something so positive.

I’m looking forward to seeing

you in Kearney.

Here's the NEW Custer County Judicial Center locat-ed on West Hwy 2 in Broken Bow, NE. We moved

in to the new facility about a year ago, and are lov-

ing the new 'digs'. The County Courtroom & Clerk Magistrate's office; the District Courtroom and

CDC's office; State Probation; and the County Attor-ney's/ CSE office are all located in this facili-

ty. There are multiple meeting/conference rooms

available to use, Judge's offices, and a nice break room. On the north end of the building there is a sal-

lyport to accept vehicle transportation of inmates, and

a holding cell for them to wait for their turn in the courtroom.

Please stop in and take a tour if you are ever in the

area.

On April 11, 2016. Region

V members from the

North Platte DHHS office

attended a Social Security

training. Our speaker was

Michael Sullivan, with the

Social Security office in

North Platte. We learned

about Disability benefits,

Supplemental Security In-

come(SSI), Survivors bene-

fits and Retirement Bene-

fits. Mr. Sullivan was very

helpful in explaining the

different levels of disability

ratings, and how often

each of these are re-

viewed.

Executive Board Nominations Needed!

It is that time again. We are looking for NCSEA members willing to serve as officers for 2017.

It is our duty as NCSEA members to elect a strong core of individuals to carry on the work of so many past

officers. Being an officer of NCSEA is a rewarding role. You get to bring fresh ideas to the member-

ship. You have a hand in shaping the future of NCSEA. You are building on the success of so many out-

standing members who have served as officers for NCSEA in the past.

The time commitment always seems to be an issue when we talk to nominees. We want you to know

that a majority of the meetings are done by teleconference once a month beginning in January. The

Executive Board meets monthly and the full Board meets every other month. We generally meet in per-

son once prior to conference at the conference site.

Before elections can be held, we NEED nominations for the following Executive Board positions:

Secretary

Treasurer

Librarian/Historian

Vice President (Per By Law’s Article VII – Officers, Section II - Vice President: Only members who have

In the last issue we began to look at

the profitable tracing techniques

known in the industry as “waterfall

tracing”. In this issue we will continue

to explore the tracer’s options that

allow skip tracing and cyber tracking

while keeping costs at a minimum.

After exhausting our efforts to locate our errant con-

sumer through the use of directories including but not

limited to telephone directories, church directories,

homeowners’ association directories, licensing directo-

ries, occupational directories and advertising directo-

ries we then slide down the waterfall to “free data re-

sources”.

These “free data resource” sites gather up information

from many public sources, proprietary databases and

open sources and put them in one location that makes

a tracer’s job a lot easier. These sites make their mon-

ey by selling advertising; and the more people who visit

their sites the more money they can charge their adver-

tisers. The creators of these sites value the hit ratio

very highly and therefore provide pertinent and valua-

ble data to insure that ratio.

The only expense in using these sites is your time val-

ue and I have used several of these sites for many

years and have had very good luck. When using these

“free sites” you must realize that the information may

not be as good as a pay site but be constantly aware

the data you obtain is free.

One of the primary sites that I use on a regular basis is

www.blackbookonline.info. It usually provides a wealth

of information. This site promotes itself as “The Free

Public Records Site”; and it is that and much more. It

has 45 categories a tracer can choose from as well as

links to all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Sev-

eral links that I use are the People Profiler and the

Business Profiler. All you have to do is fill in the blanks

with a person’s name or a business’ name, the city and

state they are located in; and presto the link will

give you all the net data links on the subject. I also

utilize their SPYDIALER as it is truly a free data-

base of cell phone numbers that I have found to be

as accurate and complete as several of the pay

sites offering the same information. As a bonus fea-

ture, this site will dial the number and enable you to

listen to the voicemail message. This tool is very

useful if you want to see

who answers a particular

cell phone. I also use the

Voter Registration link; and

under it I often search the

Federal Campaign Contrib-

utor List when attempting

to locate a person’s assets.

The Asset Locator link

works well for me as well

as the Email Lookup, Pro-

fessional Licenses and

Property Records links.

When using the links at this

site keep in mind that all

the information is free; and

it is just another level of the

waterfall you are sliding

down.

The next “free site” I would

suggest you to look over,

and one I use quite a bit, is www.pimall.com/nais/

SKIPTRACE.HTM; or as the name suggests a PIs

Mall for data shopping. This site was developed by

a private investigator, Ralph Thomas, who runs the

National Association of Investigative Specialists and

touts having the “world’s largest list of phone

books”. At this site, under Phone Books, there are

21 categories; and under each category there are

numerous links. A few of the categories we utilize

on a regular basis are Toll Free Lookups, Reverse

Lookups, World Phone Numbers and World Switch.

In addition to the numerous other links at this site

we also use the 16 Email Lookup site, the UCC

Searches by State and the Ebay Seller Lookup.

**Continued on Next Page**

Free Sites for Tracing, Ron Brown

These “free data

resource” sites

gather up

information from

many public

sources,

proprietary

databases and

open sources and

put them in one

location that makes

a tracer’s job a lot

easier.

Advisor and Ron Brown.

As I previously stated this site contains too many

links to list; but I would recommend you peruse it

paying close attention to the eight Military links,

eight Alumni links and the Missing Persons links.

This is truly a tracers shopping mall; and you should

be able to obtain a huge amount of data on your

skip... remember it is all free.

The last site I would recommend you look at is

www.sagal.com/ajax/. This site is a cornucopia of

links to delight the national and international cyber-

tracker. Here you will find both national and interna-

tional links to Law Enforcement, Intelligence and

Military links. Included at this site will be links to the

CIA, DIA, NSA, and Secret Service. Also you will

find 15 US Regulatory Agency links, 10 US Law En-

forcement links and links to all branches of the US Mili-

tary. An enormous amount of data for the tracer who

cares enough to spend their time and not their money

while attempting to locate their quarry.

Once again I remind the reader that everything dis-

cussed in this article is available at no cost; and pretty

much brings us to the next stage of the Waterfall Trac-

ing Technique where we begin to pay for the data we

receive.

Join me in the next issue when we look at the players in

the data brokering business and see where the tracer

can get the biggest bang for their buck.

Free Sites for Tracing, continued...
