**LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS ONLY**


APOST CE Hours: 6.00

With the proliferation of fraud and financial crime 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 more, as well as understand the role organized criminal organizations play.

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

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