 Here at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center, we are fully aware of the changing nature of white collar crime. We understand the growing complexity and the technological sophistication. We also understand that some law enforcement agencies are playing catch-up with technology. Our commitment to training excellence prompted us to help close this learning gap. A major part of that effort is the Financial Fraud Institute. With its emphasis on computer, financial, and white collar crime, the Institute represents a real step forward in law enforcement capabilities. I firmly believe the training you can receive at the Fletzy's Financial Fraud Institute will help you turn the tables on high-tech and financial crimes. I'm Detective Rodriguez. This is Detective Foreman. You're here about the phones. Good. OK. Like I told our long-distance company, all our lines have been tied up since Friday. I've done some checking myself, and it looks like most of them are international. And you don't do any business outside of the US? No, no. We're strictly regional. What do you think's going on? Most likely, Mr. Willis, your company's phone system has been broken into. What they're doing is they're using your long-distance lines to either make or sell international calls. At our expense. That's how it works. Can we put this thing on speakerphone? Yeah, sure. I have an operator letting us listen in. The perico de la señal para que subas. Llámame. Why are you guys looking at each other? What was he saying? It sounded like a drug deal. Mr. Willis, we're going to continue this investigation down at headquarters. What I'm going to need from you is the name of your long-distance carrier before we leave. Certainly. It happens frequently. The investigation of one crime leads to another. These detectives pursuing phone fraud just uncovered a drug operation. The Financial Fraud Institute's Telecommunications Fraud Training Program provided the edge they needed. This program helps experienced investigators like these conduct a thorough inquiry, despite the special equipment required, despite the complex network of phone carriers. They now know the laws and the technology. This knowledge will help them apprehend the phone hackers at work here. But other high tech skills taught at the Financial Fraud Institute will transform a preliminary lead about drug trafficking into a leading edge criminal investigation, as you'll soon see. I certainly thank you guys for coming. I appreciate your help. And I hope you can get to the bottom of this. All right, Mr. Willis. Thank you. Michael, bring the newcomers up to date on the information that you have. We were able to trace the call through our initial investigation. It led us to Ramon Herrera, address 314 River Bend Drive. Herrera is a local kingpin with ties to several import-export businesses. Where he launders his money? Probably. He also does business with several banks, including two based out of the Bahamas. Drug operations spawn many illegal enterprises. Thanks to their training at the Financial Fraud Institute, these agents are well equipped to investigate them. From international banking and money laundering to domestic money laundering, FFI training prepares criminal investigators and intelligence analysts to recognize and stem illegal cash flow operations. The white-collar grime and advanced financial fraud training programs will help these investigators and later prosecutors and auditors detect financial fraud. This cutting-edge law enforcement training will help these agents construct a case that will link a criminal to all his illegal operations. If we hit him on Tuesday, we should catch Herrera with the drugs and the money. Tom, I want you to coordinate the raid deployment. Bill, I want you there in case Herrera does business by computer at home. The search warrant will need to cover any records we find on the computer. Also any financial statements, that kind of thing. That's a good point, Brenda. Take care of it. The raid will take place Tuesday, 7 AM. We'll meet at 6 30 AM, Lindsay Drive. We'll meet one more time to finalize raid assignments. I'll get back to you in a time of date. Any questions? Thank you. See you then. Everybody got their assignment? Yeah, I'll stay out back. Bill and Brenda, they'll be out front until you guys clear the house. OK. Make sure you got your equipment. Any questions? OK, let's go. Computer for evidence. Computerized crime operations once the wave of the future are now reality. To bring down these high-tech criminals and their business associates requires special expertise, the skills and confidence you develop at the Financial Fraud Institute. Criminal investigations in an automated environment and computer evidence analysis training program will help this agent gather evidence from the equipment at hand. His training let him know to isolate the computer system from any modem lines connected to it. And taught him it's safer to seize the entire computer rather than just its hard drive. But FFI isn't just for computer experts. Microcomputers for investigations helps experienced investigators like this team and auditors organize the evidence and information it retrieves on the raid. FFI course instruction is helping this team make the most of what it uncovers. By handling the evidence properly and recording everything in place, these agents are building an airtight case against a slippery and dangerous criminal. These bank records just don't jive with any of the business receipts. Keep track of the names on all the checks and any other depositors. We need to know who knew what. What about the computer? Was Bill able to retrieve anything from the hard drive? He's working on it. If anybody can save it, he can. I just wanted to find out about our case. Any progress? We're finding lots of discrepancies, which we'll check out, of course. I'm concerned about the computer, the data on the computer. Have you found anything? And how are we going to preserve that evidence? We'll be hearing from Bill soon. He's copied everything, and he's searching now. FFI training goes beyond the investigation. As this assistant US attorney reveals, computer crime training for prosecutors helps ensure that when law enforcement takes down the high-tech criminal, justice is able to put him away. Good news, everybody. I found enough stuff to finish this dealer and 10 more just like him. All right. Terrific. With programs that range from basic to advanced to highly specialized, the FFI is helping law enforcement students prepare for the 21st century. Through relevant and complex practical exercises, students learn to apply their skills in a realistic manner. You will dial the 800 number that goes on to the AT&T network. Classroom training is provided by a unique combination of corporate experts, prosecutors, subject matter experts, and law enforcement instructors. This unusual partnership ensures that training is relevant, up-to-date, and challenging. And it doesn't stop at the Institute. FFI is committed to forging working relationships among law enforcement agencies, justice department, and industry counterparts. This commitment to shared information is exemplified by the Institute's after-hours computer lab. Here, students can copy programs from the Institute's extensive shareware library. The commitment continues through periodic updates sent by the Institute to its graduates. They detail the latest trends in high-tech crime and how to counter them. The time to strike back at computer and financial crime is now. Arm yourself with the skills and information you need to stop white-collar criminals in their tracks. The Financial Fraud Institute can't stop the evolution of high-tech crime, but it can make sure you're ready, helping you to operate on the cutting edge of law enforcement and justice.
