Harvey C. Shapiro
Private Investigator
Personal Statement:
- If properly trained, Law Enforcement Officers are taught a skill set and given tools to conduct an objective, reliable investigation. I have two primary goals. By helping in the training of Law Enforcement Officers, children will need to testify in fewer cases and thus not being re-victimized by the Court process. By conducting investigations for the Innocence Legal Team, I am a source of quality control on any poor police investigations; thus helping protect those who are innocent of these horrific charges. Both goals seek the same result, THE TRUTH.
