MEMBER BYLAWS
1. During investigations, members are expected to conduct themselves in a professional manner. This includes professionalism to home and business owners at all times.

3. No perfumes, colognes or other fragrances should be worn during an investigation, as this can interfere with other investigators’ senses.
4. During an investigation, members will respect the property of our host/client. It is each individual’s responsibility to replace or repair any item they damage on an investigation.

6. No children under the age of 18 years are permitted at investigations or to be involved in research with KCPS. KCPS tries to schedule investigations around our member’s personal needs; however we may not be able to accommodate all investigations for each and every member. Thus, it is your responsibility to ensure that you have proper childcare arrangements so you can attend investigations.
