Pete James is a forensic and online database expert. After he retired as a lieutenant from the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office in California, he formed OfficerPrivacy.com to help officers and other first responders protect themselves and their families by limiting the amount of information that’s out there on the internet. 

And trust me, there’s a lot!

In this episode with Pete, you will learn: 

  • Why it’s impossible to completely erase yourself from the internet. 
  • What you can do by yourself to limit the type of information that is available on the internet. 
  • How online people search databases work and why vigilance is required to maintain your privacy.
