FBI experience helps prepare for life as private investigator

Before retiring to Charleston in 1990, Jeff Dossett spent 18 years with the FBI in Newark, N.J., working against organized crime.

Dossett, 66, now a Summerville resident, is senior partner at Charleston Investigative Associates in North Charleston. His experience throughout his 30-year career at the FBI, his three years in the Army and his Long Island University master's degree in criminal justice mean he's pretty much seen it all.
