Please message us! We’ll pin to the episode, and would love a dialogue.

If you've been on patrol 20 years, how many fraudsters have you caught?

0, right?

How many have you met?

More than that I bet.

I attended multiple fraud classes (against my will) while serving as a city police officer. As a fed (don't judge me please) I've investigated major fraud - 10s of millions stolen without the use of a gun.

I also found that "normal" criminals - robbers, shooters, burglars - are thrilled to do fraud if they learn how.

"Wait, so I can sit at home or in a hotel with friends and just smoke weed and steal money? I can get knuckleheads to open bank accounts for me and I can just get money? Sentences are lower, risk is lower?"

Yeah, they rock like that.

If you patrol / investigate, you need to know what to look for on T-stops, calls for service, in houses, etc. or you're going to miss someone doing a million-dollar theft.

They're going to be so glad you didn't listen to this episode because now they can keep scamming your grandma. Think of that.

If you're looking into a group doing drug and violent crime, and you're having trouble getting in, learn to work the fraud angle! Wanting a T-III on a bad organization but can't get in? Fraud. Got a killer you can't put a case on? Fraud.

Broaden your skillset, learn, put more tools in your toolbox!
