Justice isn’t just what happens in a courtroom.
It’s what happens when a mother demands answers.
When a community connects the dots.
When you open a FOIA request and finally read what wasn’t meant to be seen.
So You Want To Be a Citizen Detective is my debut eBook and your blueprint for accurate open-source, community-centered investigations. Whether you’re an advocate, a public defender, a watchdog journalist, or just someone who wants to do something when the system fails, this guide is for you.
I’ve investigated hundreds of cases. Some as a journalist. Some as a policy strategist. Many as a citizen who refused to look away. I wrote this book because we don’t need permission to seek the truth…but we do need a plan.

What You’ll Learn
This is not just a book — it’s a toolkit for disruption. Inside, you’ll find:
- How to access and interpret public records (without a law degree).
- Tricks for mapping misconduct and spotting patterns the media missed.
- The ethics of investigating your own community — with care, not clickbait.
- How to protect your digital trail while exposing others.
- Case studies of real investigations, and what they reveal.
Who It’s For
- Restorative justice advocates demanding truth and transparency
- Participatory defense teams who need more than just court transcripts
- Research nerds who can’t help but ask, “What’s the paper trail?”
- Everyday people trying to make sense of a broken system
