Message from NCISS President
'Tis the Season to be Jolly!

 | | Eugene Ferraro NCISS President |
Investigation and Security Services have formalized a long standing and mutually beneficial relationship. CALI and NCISS will cooperate on legislative matters at the national and state levels, continue to offer reciprocal advertising in their newsletters and other publications, share booth and exhibition space at seminars and conferences where feasible, and offer discounts to CALI and NCISS members for events. Perhaps the best outcome of formalizing our agreement is that CALI has committed to continuing its generous annual contribution to the NCISS legislative fund to the tune of $10,000 per year when finances permit. This contribution in years past has made a tremendous difference in NCISS' ability to meet its obligations on the legislative front. Our legislative battles are not financed from our general fund, but from the contributions of generous donors to the legislative fund. As we have stated many times, no amount is too small. Each year hundreds of individual donors generously give to our legislative fund. Of course, our association partners from the State Associations Advisory Board and many other read more |

ROSEMARIE MESIS
Region 2A Director
 Born in Newark, New Jersey into a working class family and a descendent of immigrant grandparents, Rosemarie Mesis's work ethic is evident in every task she undertakes. Rosemarie or as she is affectionally known, "Roe" is the NCISS Regional Director for Delaware, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. Roe reports that if she learned nothing else, it was that you always "show loyalty to those you work with."
Roe, being born in a generation when women were expected to get married and have babies, said that her parents never encouraged her to do anything else. However, that is not the direction that she took in life. She is the co-owner and vice president of the very successful PI Magazine (that just recently went digital, by the way), of PI Gear that offers discount surveillance and supply products, and is the owner of PI Store where it has become her personal mission to introduce a compendium of education and training materials to better inform private investigators. There are over 600 titles in her library store. read more

My friends and colleagues of NCISS,
As you know, the Professional Private Investigators Association of Colorado and its members are strong supporters of NCISS. The PPIAC and professional investigators in Colorado need your help and I want to draw on the strength of my friends on behalf of PPIAC. This is at least the third time the PPIAC is requesting licensure status of private investigators in Colorado - this time we intend to succeed, with your help.
You have each met and set a standard. More importantly, you have each contributed and supported

our chosen profession. The efforts of the PPIAC has been no easy task - with multiple defeats - but this year we see a 'perfect storm' with the defeat of the anti-surveillance bill, and (unfortunately) multiple 'investigators' making the news with their unethical and unprofessional behavior - it has been noticed. But, this remains no easy task and I am asking for your help.
Just before Thanksgiving, the current PPIAC President, Robert Orozco, and I met with the DORA (Department of Regulatory Agencies) policy analyst and had an informative meeting. The issue for DORA: Is there demonstrable 'public harm'? Historically, they have found the 'threshold' (though arbitrary) read more |
