Why did
SKYNARC incorporate?
Due to the size of the annual conference we found ourselves signing contracts which
contained penalty clauses calling for hundreds of thousands of dollars in penalties for
"non performance" (not using the space contracted for). Our wives had a problem
with that when they figured out they could lose their houses to a hotel chain. We also
could not open a bank account to pay the bills without a Federal Tax ID Number which we
couldn't get unless we incorporated.Is I.N.I.A. a business?
No. I.N.I.A. is a tax exempt, non-profit association whose sole purpose is to provide
interdiction training to local,state,federal & foreign police officers. (Any gifts you
want to send us are tax deductible !!!)!
Are I.N.I.A. Instructors
paid?
Yes & No. Instructors at the SKYNARC Training Conference are all volunteers.
Instructors at other seminars are paid if they are off duty or retired; if they are on
duty they are not.
Who else supports
I.N.I.A. financially besides members?
The Drug Enforcement Administration, Office of State & Local Programs fund
the travel and per diem of all Instructors at the SKYNARC Training Conference. Other
organizations such as the RCMP and International Association of Chiefs of Police
(IACP) contract with I.N.I.A. to provide training seminars on interdiction. The United
Nations and the US Dept. of Justice are also discussing interdiction training programs
with us.
