TRIPAR - Protocol
Over the years, we have developed a protocol. The version on the page is a more concise version of the original. Any credible organization should have a protocol to maintain integrity of their findings and decrease the percentage of error. There are many sites that mis-lead viewers with flawed pictures and unfounded "truths". This is unfortunate for those who are not mis-leading.
TRIPAR PROTOCOL
Our protocol
is strict. We must uphold these rules to ensure the highest quality
and accuracy of data; and efficiency of our investigations and research.
Procedures
Always ask permission to investigate area - Going on to private property without permission is illegal. Carry ID - To verify who you are. No drugs - This includes cough suppressants, antihistamines and prescription drugs that will cause side-affects. These affect judgement and ability to function properly. No smoking tobacco products before and during an investigation - This affects judgement and the ability to function properly. No alcohol before, during or after an investigation - This affects judgement and the ability to function properly. Maintain professional attitude - This includes respect for people, the deceased and the property. Interview Witness(es) - To gain an idea of what you are possibly dealing with; to assess past, current mental state of witness(es). Check batteries prior to investigations - To insure accurate data and to prevent equipment failure. No controversial methods used on investigations - This means no ouijas or seances. Scan area for EMF leakage with EMF meter - To point out areas that can give false reading. Also to find high concentration of EMF where entities feed. No photographs outside during bad weather - This means no photos during rain, lightning storms, all storms, mist, fog, snow, wind (excess 35MPH), and/or dust. No photographs inside during bad conditions - Seeing dust in the view-finder is considered a bad condition and the shot should not be taken. Do not take photos of moving objects - Any notable pictures of objects such as cars, balls, people, etc. should be omitted from evidence. Remove all dust, spots, fingerprints from camera lens - Camera must be kept clean at all times. No camera straps - Vortexes cannot be mistaken for camera straps. No shots of the sun - This causes lens flare. No shots of the moon - The moon can look like an orb to the untrained eye. No pictures of reflective surfaces - No mirrors, glass, and television screens. Other surfaces must be taken into consideration when anomaly is present in the film. Fingers away from the lens of the camera - Index and thumb in "C" position with the rest tucked in. Keep long hair away from the lens of the camera - Hair tucked behind ears or in pony-tail. Always use fresh audio tapes for EVP recordings - This is to obtain the highest quality of data. Always use fresh video tapes for video recordings - This is also to obtain the highest quality of data. Check negatives for confirmation - If it is on the negative, it was there. Check negatives for scratches or dust - Using a magnifying glass, go over film with potential entity photograph(s). Getting a second copy will confirm if it is dust. Positive thoughts during all investigations - Thinking openly and positive gets the best results. Consider all other possibilities - This is not thinking negative. This is not to favor one outcome. If it cannot be explained any other way than it is authentic.

Accuracy
has to be the first priority. Mishaps can happen during experiments
and investigations. To minimize or deplete the chance for error, there
must be a protocol - ways by procedures and conduct to carry-on a task
with success.
