As part of our ongoing mission to provide valuable resources to members, NCISS has entered into a new partnership with PI Magazine.

The U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) announced that it is withdrawing its proposed rule, "Protecting Americans from Harmful Data Broker Practices," which would further regulate data brokers and treat them as "consumer reporting agencies" under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), subjecting them to additional requirements.

Last week, NCISS members convened in Washington, D.C. for our annual "Hit the Hill" legislative advocacy event. We collectively met with over 75 members of Congress and staff to let them know what issues are important to the private investigator and security guard professions.

NCISS President Edward Ajaeb and Board Chair Kelly Cory officially signed the cover letter accompanying the NCISS Petition and formally delivered it to Congress, including the names of over 1,000 private investigators and security professionals from across the U.S.
