Fraud and Financial Crimes

With the proliferation of fraud and financial crimes, local agencies can no longer rely solely on federal and other specialized investigative agencies to handle the problem. State and local officers and investigators need to be able to recognize and address schemes such as identity theft, telemarketing fraud, occupational fraud, and many more types of fraud and financial crimes. As well, officers and investigators should understand the role that organized criminal factions play in these types of fraud and financial crimes.

In this one-day seminar, investigators and officers will be shown how to:

• Recognize the various types of fraud schemes and fraud trends leading into an investigation.
• Determine the scope of the fraud scheme.
• Address the legal and practical considerations during the investigation.
• Identify sources of information helpful to law enforcement during fraud and financial crime investigations.
• Recognize and collect physical and electronic evidence in a fraud or financial crime case.

Who Should Attend:

• Financial Crimes Investigators
• General Investigators/Detectives
• Patrol Officers
