"Since law enforcement agencies began partnering with citizens through community policing, we've seen significant drops in crime rates."

Identity Theft and the Drug Connection

 
     
    This  tuition-free  training (presented in partnership with Multi-jurisdictional Counterdrug Task Force Training) will acquaint you with criminal activity occurring at the street level and how it relates to the crime of identify theft and its link to drug trafficking.   Millions of Americans each year suffer the financial and emotional trauma of identity theft.  This crime takes many forms,    but it invariably leaves victims with the task of repairing the damage to their lives.  It is a problem with  no single cause  and  no single solution.  The problem of identity theft has become more complex and challenging for the general public,  the government,  and the private sector.   And,  at every level of government - from the largest cities with major police departments to the  smallest towns with one fraud detective - identity theft has placed increasingly pressing demands on law enforcement.  At the  conclusion  of  this  course,  participants  will be  able to:  understand the  definition of  identity theft  and the impact  on the  individual victim,  the community,  and law enforcement;  identify  key  federal  laws to  further the prosecution of  identity  theft;  identify  crimes  associated  with  identity theft;  understand  some of the  different methods  employed  by  criminals  to commit  identity  theft;  understand the role that  identity theft plays in  drug trafficking; describe the fundamental steps for working identity theft cases; and understand how to protect  your-self and the community you serve.
