This is not new. The name change is really not an issue. The credentials say “contract investigator”, and people have known for as long as I have been an investigator for the Office of Personnel Management, a special investigator retained by OPM, NBIB, or DCSA, that the majority of the investigators are contractors. I, personally, never experienced any issues getting anyone to cooperate during an investigation regardless of how I identified myself.
