National Council of Investigation & Security Services
Your Voice...Your Benefits

Dear Members,

  

You are NCISS!

 

NCISS is a unique association with a unique mission to proactively monitor and direct federal legislation.  NCISS is the most influential voice and legislative advocate for the Security and Private Investigation professions in the United States of America.

 

As the largest national association of investigative and security professionals, your reach and influence is part of nearly 1,000 members - with a goal to top 1,000 members in 2016.  As many members are part of other state, national and international associations with varying benefits, at NCISS we offer unique benefits - from legislative advocacy and alerts to multi-association integral networking.  Your NCISS membership extends to tens of thousands of friends and colleagues in the investigation and security professions.

 

The most important benefit you may realize by being a member - and encouraging others to join - is advocating for the rights  and privileges of your profession.  From friendships to guidance, and grassroots advocacy to national and global assistance, NCISS works for, and counts on, you.

Legislative Alerts and News
The most important function of NCISS is to monitor and direct federal legislation. But we also play an important role in acting as a conduit for state legislative information. Through joint efforts and other national and state associations of related industries, our advocates keep a finger on bills which affect o r professions.

Often, a law passed in a trend setting state will be adopted almost verbatim by other states wishing to follows it. If an unfavorable law is enacted in one state, NCISS alerts other state associations who can take action to keep the problem from spreading. A number of important position papers have already been authored on key issues such as privacy, police moonlighting, reciprocity and use of private contractors over hiring more government employees.

NCISS officers are frequently called upon to testify at congressional hearings giving our industry's viewpoint. Hit The Hill - NCISS members from across the country join together in Washington to meet with their senators, representatives and staff so they can be informed about our concerns and viewpoints. Congress appreciates our input in assisting them with promulgating sound legislation.

As soon as our legislative committee and advocate see an issue of concern to the investigative and security professions, a special Legislative Alert is sent via email to all members and distributed through special networking within state associations, as well as nationally and internationally.  In addition, our legislative advocate sends a monthly summary of legislation and regulations they are watching on behalf of NCISS members.

Your Advocate and The eAdvocate


NCISS reaches thousands of investigators and security consultants in your national trade journal, The NCISS Your Advocate, delivered by direct mail to the agency owners who have an interest in events in Washington, D.C.

The journal is mailed three times annually, approximately March, August and November, and is also available online.  Current and past issues at https://nciss.memberclicks.net/the-advocate.

In an effort to make sure our members are current on news of their professions, bi-monthly an electronic bulletin, The eReport, is sent via email.  The eAdvocate is archived online at http://conta.cc/ZoQsTl.

If you have news or an idea for an article contact the editor, Dean A. Beers, at editor@nciss.org. In the meantime.
Networking and Peer Assistance

National Directory - One of the most important values, and foundation, for NCISS is you - the membership.  NCISS screens all membership applications, providing you the benefit of seeking assistance directly with another member via the directory or listserv requests for assistance.  The national membership directory includes individual and association members.  Their contact information and specialties are included.  Visit http://www.nciss.org/member-companies/individual-members.php to access this important tool for the location of screened correspondent agencies to accept reciprocal assignments. 

  

Listserve - The primary purpose of NCISS Listserv's is to allow the NCISS Administration and the elected leaders of NCISS to communicate to NCISS members and keep NCISS members abreast of legal and legislative happenings that affect them. A secondary purpose is for the exchange of referral work and information helpful to working assignments.  Make sure you are signed up by visiting http://www.nciss.org/news-and-events/nciss-listserve-information.php  

 

Business & Training Bulletins - NCISS is comprised of members that are leaders and experts in their fields.  Special bulletins are written by members of NCISS who are experienced and expert in their field, these bulletins accommodate the sharing of ideas and standards. 

 

Annual Hit the Hill - The mission of NCISS is legislative advocacy at the federal level for members.  One of the most important, and effective, in doing so is the annual Hit the Hill.  Each spring NCISS leaders and members meet in Washington, DC to visit with our elected Senators and Representatives in Congress.  NCISS also arranges special functions to meet and greet these elected officials, and will also be holding a luncheon inside the Capitol building.

Annual Meeting - Moving around the country, each meeting includes important business seminars and meetings which foster learning and professionalism.  The annual conference is each fall and, for Gold Members, the cost of the annual conference is included in the membership dues.  The next annual meeting is in Las Vegas from September 20th to 22nd.  Details coming soon.

NCISS Legislative Fund

The NCISS Legislative Advocacy needs your continued support!

 

The NCISS Legislative Fund is a key component of our association's ability to represent the private investigation and security professionals interest s before Congress.  Fundraising efforts are ongoing throughout the year, and include requests to individual members, state associations, industry vendors, database providers, and more.

There are many who benefit from the services of our two professions.  As we continue to seek ways to replenish the Legislative Fund on a monthly basis, you are encouraged to contribute, not only monetarily, but through ideas to raise funds in other ways.

One easy way to support the NCISS Legislative Fund is to use the NCISS - Office Depot Discount Card.  You save money on your purchase and a percentage is donated back to the Legislative Fund.
