Providing the reader with guidelines, tips, and useful information from a retired Special Agent's insider look into obtaining your government security clearance fast and efficiently, overcoming background issues, and exploding your career and income in the process. The information within the book is based on Kevin Crane's 21 years of conducting thousands of in-depth investigations for U.S. government security clearances. These investigations included interviewing over 10,000 references and subjects of investigation as well as thousands of financial, criminal, employment, educational, and medical records. During his career, Kevin has investigated every possible issue that the U.S. government covers and that you, the reader, may encounter during your security clearance process.

Kevin writes this book based on real world national security clearance investigative and supervisory experience.
