What Will Not Be Discussed
Professional boundaries
All consultation respects legal, ethical, and professional confidentiality requirements. Jerin does not discuss ongoing investigations or any case opened before his retirement from federal service in November 2024, regardless of whether he personally investigated the case, directly supervised it, or knew it existed. He also does not disclose protected or nonpublic information, confidential sources, or personally identifying information involving victims, witnesses, subjects, or law-enforcement personnel.
Certain investigative methods, operational procedures, security practices, and law-enforcement capabilities will not be discussed or incorporated into a project. This includes information that could reveal how law enforcement investigates child abductions or other serious crimes, identifies offenders, develops evidence, protects investigative activity, or information that could help someone evade detection or defeat an investigation.
Consultation is limited to publicly available information, established law-enforcement practices, general professional experience, and fictional scenarios developed for the work.
