Testimonials
"In my 38 years of law enforcement this is the most informative one day seminar I have attended. We saw a great need for additional training in identity theft and there is remarkable value in learning about new trends and investigative techniques. This training is free for all law enforcement officials in attendance. This training has enhanced our ability to identify, investigate and prosecute identity theft in our area."
Chief Don Dixon Lake Charles Police Department
"I am very proud to have been a recent host of this program," said Chief Glenn Ladd of the North Kansas City Police Department. "Our local personnel who attended all benefitted in some way, picking up on new methods for fighting this insidious crime. I am confident that those of us who deal with identity theft cases regularly will have more success in battling this crime on the front lines."
Chief Glenn L. Ladd North Kansas City Police Department
"The positive response from our summits has been overwhelming, and we are excited to continue to bring this important training to our law enforcement community across the country. By joining together and opening avenues of communication through information and education, we gain the ability to share effective policing strategies and connect identity theft cases from several cities and states to ensure that these criminals are brought to justice. It's refreshing to have a private organization like LifeLock recognize the need for this training and to support it across the nation."
Executive Director Tom Stonee FBI-LEEDA
