The Investigative Support Section of NW3C provides support services for our member agencies who are involved in the investigation or prosecution of a White Collar, High Tech or Cyber Crime. ISS services include analytical support, public database searches and case funding. Analytical assistance is available to our member agencies involved in designated cases. Our analysts are frequently called upon to assist in establishing financial transaction patterns, developing possible links between criminal targets and associated criminal activity and providing link charts, timelines and graphs for court presentations. Information obtained through public database searches can assist investigations by locating suspects, establishing property ownership and finding hidden assets, just to name a few. NW3C may be used as a source of funding for member agencies that are faced with budgetary shortfalls. Case Funding for agencies who are involved with a white collar, high tech or cyber crime that have a multi state nexus can apply for Case Funding from NW3C Investigative Support Services. Funds in the past have been used for witness and investigative travel, Expert witness fees, document recovery expenses, etc. While NW3C has no investigative authority, the mission of the Investigative Support Section is to provide timely, relevant and effective Investigative Support Services through the use of analysis, intelligence, technologically advanced investigative expertise and information sharing to state and local law enforcement, prosecution offices and state regulatory bodies, in order to assist them in the prevention, investigation, and prosecution of economic and high-tech crimes. |
