Common questions.
Why does ITMA verify applicants?
Members share information about real cases and real methods. Verification gives every member confidence that the people they are talking to are who they say they are and do the work they say they do.
What does the background check involve?
Verification of your employment and a criminal history check. Anything beyond that scope requires your permission.
Who can see my information?
Only logged-in, verified members can see the directory, and you choose which details appear in your listing. The information you provide for verification is seen only by ITMA administrators.
How is ITMA different from ATAP?
Many ITMA members also belong to the Association of Threat Assessment Professionals, and we see the two as complementary. ITMA places particular emphasis on law enforcement and operational threat management and on collaboration across countries.
Can my agency or employer pay my dues?
Yes. Email itma@itmaglobal.com and we will send an invoice your agency can pay.
