In addition, our Net Patrol members must undergo training and become certified in certain law enforcement subjects, such as child pornography law and harassment laws in the United States, and our international members must be trained in international child pornography and harassment laws as well.

All Net Patrol members, with the exception of lawyers, law enforcement staff and Guardian Angels, all in good standing, must undergo a background check by a law enforcement agency. Additional requirements may be imposed from time to time for all Net Patrol members, and certain members may have to undergo further disclosure and investigations.

We are very careful about who we allow to join the Net Patrol, since we have a strong relationship with law enforcement, and improperly trained volunteers or volunteers with sexual violations or criminal backgrounds may jeopardize what we are trying to accomplish and our hard-earned reputation and credibility with law enforcement.
