8 hours DCJS career development in-service credit

The use of fraudulent documents to avoid detection or to commit criminal acts, in collusion with the rampant use of identity fraud, is an ever-mounting problem to law enforcement officers and criminal investigators. Often overlooked, fraudulent documents are used in a variety of criminal activities ranging from status and traffic crimes to intricate conspiracies and international terrorism. The detection of fraudulent documents offers law enforcement a skeleton key to unlock an ever growing array of criminal activities. 

This 8-hour course will strive to give officers confidence in viewing documents and being able to ascertain those that are fraudulent without the use of tools or instruments; street usable knowledge. Beyond the documents themselves, officers will explore document mills to learn about how they are operated and the most effective tools to counter-act their operations. The use of controlled purchases and search warrants will be examined as these are the most common and effective tools to defeat document mills.

This program is ideal for anyone in law enforcement who handles documents on a daily basis in the course of their duties.
