JAMES PATRICK ENGLADE
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
The man in charge of the
day to day operations of the Louisiana State Board
of Private Investigator Examiners is no stranger to
the public. As the head of the Baton Rouge
Task force that sought to capture the man
responsible for killing so many women in Baton
Rouge, he no doubt understands tough situations and
has had to deal with situations where he can't
respond with a positive answer.
I read an article that
said in his 30 years of working in police work, he
never had a single reprimand and that is impressive.
I wonder how one does that kind of work for 30 years
and never gets called on the carpet for anything?
UPDATE:
THE BOARD MADE THE NEWS 12-2-2012
Amazing as it might sound,
the executive director of the State Board of Private
Investigator Examiners told the reporter for the Tri
Parish Times that the State Board is exempt from
having to give the excess money to the State because
they are an ASSOCIATION with almost 1400 MEMBERS.
Unbelievable but true, he said it according to the
Tri Parish Times:
With approximately 1,400 license and fee-paying
members, LSBPIE Executive Director Pat Englade said
the professional agency takes a serious role in
policing licensed private investigators to ensure
they are conducting business in accordance to law
and ethical standards.
“We had a healthy year [in terms of active
membership] because of the BP [claims and
settlements], Englade said. “It is one of the better
years we have had. We actually did better this year
than a number of years with licensing. The BP claims
were a contributing factor.”
The private investigator referred to Private
Investigator Law Statute 3523 and its connection to
Article VII, Section 9(A) of the Louisiana
Constitution. The statute text reads that: “Subject
to the exemption … all fees and funds collected by
the board from every source shall be paid to the
state treasury and shall be credited to the Bond
Security and Redemption Fund.”
“We are exempt from [Article VII, Section 9(A) of
the Louisiana Constitution],” Englade said. “If you
go to the state law it gives exemptions to certain
professional agencies in terms of turning over
excess funds to the state treasurer.”
Article VII, Section 9(A)2 specifies that funds
generated by trade or professional organizations are
exempt from owing balances to the state.
Englade explained that the LSBPIE is funded solely
by membership fees with no state funding
appropriated to it. “We are what you call a paper
agency,” he said. “We are audited by the state
legislative auditor.

News Flash to Pat Englade...you work for a state
license agency - NOT a professional membership
association. Geez...now we understand why
things are the way they are.
I invited Pat Englade
to be a speaker at the LPIA conference to be held in
Alexandria, Louisiana back in 2010 and asked him for
a resume to be included in the hand out for the
investigators. He told me at the time when I
asked him for this that he didn't know anything
about computers and he get help to send it to me.
Shortly afterwards I received the following resume:
READ THE RESUME
I protected his
date of birth and social security although he sent
it to me exposed
I thought it strange
that in a day and time when we preach identity theft
is a real thing that a former chief of police would
send out a resume with not only his date of birth
but his full social security number, but he did.
What struck me even more was that it said that he
was looking for a job. At first, I thought it
was an old resume, but when I checked his work, it
listed his current job.
At the conference, Mr.
Englade began his talk with a statement that when he
first began the job at the Private Investigator
board, he didn't know a single thing about what
private investigators did for a living. In
fact, after 4 years, he is still learning the
details about "what you guys do". I was very
surprised that a man that had made his living in law
enforcement for 30 years did not understand the
nature of private investigators, but more so that as
the head of the agency that licenses private
investigators I would think that he would have made
that JOB ONE to learn the business.
Perhaps more shocking
is that when I read the transcript of the informal
LPIA hearing at the July 19, 2011 board meeting, Mr.
Englade then states that he didn't understand the
process of Continuing Education.

THE GPS GROUP
Three friends, two of
which were former Baton Rouge Police Chiefs formed a
consulting company. If you take a look at the
organization of this company, you will notice that
Greg Phares is a managing partner.
Greg Phares is currently
the Chief Investigator for the Louisiana State
Inspectors Office, an agency that is tasked with
cleaning up board corruption. Based upon
this association, we believe that they are
friends. There is nothing wrong with three
friends forming a company to offer consulting
services, except that we thought Mr. Englade
worked for the LSBPIE.
THE BATON ROUGE SERIAL KILLER TASK FORCE
When Baton
Rouge was on lock down trying to find a serial
killer that had attacked a number of women, a task
force was formed. As Chief of Police, Pat
Englade was appointed to be head of that task force.
What happened is chronicled in best selling book
entitled, I'm Watching You by
Susan D. Mustafa.
The number of mistakes
that this task force made depends upon who you
talk to, but what is clear is that the task force
had the name of the killer long before they
accepted that because they refused to accept the
information that was being provided by the Zachary
Police Department. Ultimately, Zachary
Police Department obtained the DNA and after Todd
fled the area, two rookie police offices captured
him in a distant state.
In Englade's resume
that is being circulated, he states that he was head
of the multi agency task force that captured the
serial killer. READ THE BOOK!

MR ENGLADE SPEAKS OUT
ABOUT JIM BROWN
When the LPIA announced that they would have
former insurance commissioner Jim Brown speak at
their October 2010 Convention, Pat Englade made his
thoughts known and suggested that it would be a slap
in the face for all law enforcement for a convicted
felon to speak to investigators.

MR ENGLADE SAYS "IF
DIVINE WANTS TO GET UGLY, WE CAN DO THAT!"
When Divine got "sideways" with Mr. Englade
during the filing of public records, Englade wrote
that if Divine wants to get ugly, we can do that.
I considered that a threat by a public official in
his official capacity as the executive director.
You decide.
