NPIB - National Paranormal Investigations Board

The NPIB is the monitoring agency that is tasked with overseeing all of the paranormal activity that occurs throughout the country. The term is also occasionally used to refer to the response teams that work with them.

Every country has its own version of the NPIB, but each one has similar goals and methods.

The NPIB is a repository of paranormal files from different departments, such as the police department and hospitals, judges, and all of the governmental agencies that monitor everyone as a whole. Everyone who comes into contact with any paranormal activity that is considered to be of an unusual variety is required to submit a report on that activity and the actions taken as a result.

PIOs
PIOs, or Paranormal Investigation Officers, sort through the files and look for Class 3, 4, or 5 threats. Once such a threat has been detected, PIOs are sent out to investigate and verify that the threat level is as listed and whether the encounter should be classified as an isolated event or a continuing threat.

Once a threat has been identified, investigated, and verified, the job of the PIO is finished. They call in one of the subcontracting Agencies to neutralize the threat.
