    Webinar: Disrupting the Shadow Economy Using Motive-Oriented Crime Suppression

    The initial webinar, Shadow Economy 101, examined the critical importance of upholding the rule of law and illustrated how the business of crime does intolerable damage to our communities' economic infrastructure, disenfranchising our most economically vulnerable citizens. In part two of the series, 30-year Phoenix Police Veteran, Detective Sergeant David Lake (ret.) presents the revolutionary investigative methods he leveraged to combat shadow economic crimes in the fifth-largest city in the nation. His "motive-oriented crime suppression" technique was used to reduce crime (caseload) in less time and with fewer resources than traditional, method-centric approaches. Most importantly, it fundamentally disrupted and dismantled the systems that were propagating criminal offenses without aggravating social conditions by relying on police saturation or mass incarceration. Through internal research and case studies, attendees will be exposed to:

    • Alternative case management concepts
    • Techniques for proactive and precision investigations
    • New applications of police intelligence and crime analysis

    Webinar: Leveraging Technology for Your Fraud and Financial Investigations

    In the advent of pandemic, natural disasters, and the increasing number of technology-driven fraud and financial investigations occurring, investigators need to rely on technology more than ever to solve these investigations and become more efficient investigating them. The sheer volume of investigations is allowing thousands of cases to go uninvestigated. Whether it would be stock manipulation, such as GameStop, cryptocurrency, or various applications that track and document expenditures, deposits, and transfers, it is clear we need to leverage technology to be more efficient in conducting these investigations. This webinar will go over techniques that fraudsters use, as well as the implementation of a tool that can help find the evidence you are looking for to leverage technology for your investigations.
