As a VA NADP member, you will be required to:

  • Sign and uphold confidentiality agreements on each and every investigation.

What we are not looking for:

  • Psychics*
  • People who “want to see a dogman”.
  • Mystics/metaphysicists (personal belief structures not withstanding)
  • Immature people who do not take direction well.
  • People who think all paranormal/crypto activity must be the result of/caused by something “evil,” “God,” or “insert preconceived notion here” (this is a direct reflection of objectivity)
