I have had a few inquiries asking the connection between NABBI and FRN... let me clarify as follows...
FRN is a blog site that allows anyone to post related to any connection they may have with this industry... PI's, bail bondsmen, fugitive recovery agents/bounty hunters, attorneys, LE... those wishing to get into the business... actually, anyone that even wants to ask questions or for whatever reason have an interest, real or imagined in this business.
NABBI is a non profit association of LICENSED, COMPLIANT agents, in this industry and associated businesses but the members are vetted and as said... licensed and compliant within their states of operation. It is a networking association as is FRN but the difference is in the legality of the members. You cannot be a member of NABBI without a legal connection and we also have NO regulatory authority over the members. The only way you can post on the NABBI site is to place a message on the "comments" page and even then, it is checked by the webmaster and posted only after it is authorized by both the webmaster and the poster.
There are no moderators on the site. Actually, I am the only one developing it's content... at the direction of course of the executive committee. As for an official connection between these two sites... the only connection is in the definition of the two businesses, that is all... there is no official connection between FRN and NABBI, although discussions arise on FRN about NABBI simply as a discussion and posted information for general consumption.
Hope that clears up any questions... I will post this under another thread on this site also...

Rather than post pictures on FRN... I think I will just post future picture related to NABBI, on the NABBI website, thus promoting and encouraging those interested in taking a look at our site.
So... if you interested in NABBI and the activities of that association... take a look at our site... and thanks for your interest.
