SHPS Rules of Engagement

SHPS RULES OF ENGAGEMENT


1.  Never never never never never go ANYWHERE on site alone. This rule is not only for your own safety, but also for liability purposes, as well as to have a back-up witness should any paranormal event occur.


2.  Waivers of liability, interviews with clients, and site evaluations will be completed and on file prior to taking any equipment or investigators on site.


3.  Strategic vigil plan should be in place prior to setting up equipment or going dark. Teams will honor time restraints and action plan.


4.  Prior to entering site and upon leaving, investigators will conduct personal cleansing/shielding exercises in whatever manner they choose. This is a REQUIREMENT.


5.  Each team shall always carry extra batteries, flashlight, radio, and whistle. A SHPS- provided first aid kit is mandatory on-site.


6.  While on-site, all personnel will conduct themselves in a professional, courteous, calm manner, and will not engage in horseplay, pranks, or conversation with client regarding research. Behavior deemed inappropriate by SHPS is cause for immediate dismissal from the site and possible permanent removal from the investigation team.


7.  If while on site, personnel discover evidence of or have reason to believe client may be engaging in criminal or inappropriate activity, or if there is evidence of mental illness, the site coordinator shall be notified immediately.


8.  If at any time you feel uncomfortable in a situation, get out of the situation.


9.  If on-site coordinator requests sudden termination of the investigation, gear is to be collected and personnel will leave immediately without question or comment. You will be briefed on the emergency later.


10.  At close of on-site investigation, all SHPS- owned equipment shall be gathered and accounted for, with at least two personnel signing check-in sheet. Your own gear is your own responsibility.


11.  Results shall be revealed and discussed with client only by authorized personnel. Team members may NOT disclose information deemed confidential to persons outside the investigation team, nor may they discuss results with other investigators prior to revealing evidence to client.
