NAPBS International Europe & International Other
Please see below for regions falling under the International Europe & Other categories.
NAPBS is establishing an international communication network of background investigation professionals in order to create a "universal opportunity" for screening firms to accurately understand the processes, logistics and laws of conducting international investigations. Serving as a communications hub for participating firms and service providers, the committee will also stimulate the development of country-specific guidelines and standards to mitigate the need for unnecessary government regulations. We hope to increase the visibility of the growing need for background investigations worldwide.
