Aug 4, 2006, News Report

A new identity theft investigation training course has helped to better prepare 476 Michigan law enforcement officers to investigate identity theft, credit fraud and counterfeiting complaints. The free training course was offered from July 10 through Aug. 3 by the Identity Theft Teams of the Michigan State Police (MSP), in conjunction with the Michigan Association of Chiefs of Police (MACP) and the Michigan Sheriff's Association (MSA).

Officers from 141 police and sheriff's departments, as well as members of the U.S. Office of the Inspector General, U.S. Secret Service and Michigan Department of State attended training sessions that were held in Kalamazoo, Lansing, Marquette, Roscommon, Saginaw and Troy.

During the four-hour course, officers were trained in the latest investigative techniques, including the areas of victim assistance, identity theft rings, prosecution of offenders and criminal law.

"One of the most positive aspects of this training was the opportunity for officers to network with one another and share investigative strategies," stated Col. Peter C. Munoz, director of the MSP. "We are pleased to have been able to partner with the Michigan Association of Chiefs of Police and the Michigan Sheriff's Association to offer this type of training; it is our hope the result will be an improved level of service to Michigan citizens."

Officers also learned about the investigative tools available to help them combat identity theft, such as the MSP Identity Theft Team Web site, which contains valuable information and resources to assist investigators.
