INTELLENET REGULAR MEMBER:  *

The Intellenet Regular Membership consists of private investigators and/or security consultants, with a minimum of 10 years’ experience, licensed in those jurisdictions where licensing is required, and in good standing, in all cases. Holding a license alone is not considered an adequate requirement as the membership is exclusive to one individual, and not a company.

Applicants must be recommended by an Intellenet member, and the recommendation shall be based upon the known integrity, honesty, capability and reliability of the recommended party. Alternatively, an applicant may self-nominate, but such applicant will be subjected to the same criteria as a recommended candidate. A screening process, which will include public record checks, regarding the applicant in the jurisdictions where there is not state licensing requirement and where the applicant has resided for the last seven (7) years and an interview of references will be the minimum requirement. An application fee shall be paid to offset the costs commensurate with the process indicated.

SPECIALIST MEMBER:  *

The specialist member will have a minimum of ten years of investigative or related experience in their particular field.

ASSOCIATE MEMBER:  *

The Board of Directors recognizes and applauds those persons who would meet either the regular or specialist membership requirements but have yet to meet the 10-year requirement of membership.

Associate members will have access to mentorship, and a designated Listserv.
