Mr. Beers' exemplary performance can be traced to his merger of life experience with in-depth study of criminalistics and meticulous attention to detail. He was one of the finest interns to graduate from the Larimer County Coroner's Office program. His investigations show a unique combination of "book smarts" and common sense.
Dean is an expert forensic photographer and was one of the most thorough medicolegal death investigators I have encountered in my career. He showed great skill during scene investigations, performing case follow-up, and in the autopsy suite. He is a credit to the profession and I believe his work displays a commitment to the forensic sciences and investigative services. I serve as a consultant to his private investigations practice. His work in both photography and investigations is detailed, thorough, objective and of the highest quality. I am proud to endorse him without reservation.

Dean Beers is about the most proficient, knowledgeable skip tracer I have ever known. He is awesome in the specialized knowledge he possesses in this area, and is one committed, hard-charging investigator. I have known him as a law enforcement investigator and now as a private investigator, and have always found him to be nothing but thorough, professional, and a leader with a futuristic bent.

I’ve never worked directly with Dean however I have utilized principles in his book “Professional Locate Investigations” for years and found them to hold true despite it being written for a predominantly US based market. As well as useful skip tracing hints and techniques that many people know of there is an almost certain chance that you will come across ideas that are new to you irrespective of how many years you may have been in the investigative industry. It is also one of the few books that describes and illustrates sensible day to day business practices that assist in making investigators the functioning business me that we need to be in order to survive in this line of work. I thoroughly recommend it! Dean is an exceptionally knowledgeable gentleman.

It is through the Professional Private Investigators Association of Colorado that I met Dean Beers, but I'd known of him well before that. Dean is renowned for his professionalism and astonishing skills in the areas of skip-tracing and forensics. His sterling reputation is well-deserved; I learn something new every time I speak with him. I count myself fortunate to know Dean.
Larimer County Medical Examiner's Office
Dean is excellent at multi-tasking and prioritizing, is self-motivated, honest and meticulous with details. His high ethical standards have made it possible for him to work in various capacities [concurrently in private investigation and the coroner's office] and still maintain the strictest confidentiality. Dean's list of training seminars and classes is one of the most impressive I have seen. Dean has helped teach our investigators the latest forensic photography techniques and he has also helped with fingerprint comparisons to identify decedents. Dean is easy to work with, knowledgeable about all aspects of death investigation, evidence collection and preservation, and all legal ramifications involved. He has an analytical mind and can quickly get to the root of problems in order to find the most appropriate solution.
