LifeLock has established a three-year collaboration with The FBI Law Enforcement Executive Development Association (FBI-LEEDA) to identify identity theft trends and educate consumers. The initial meeting is scheduled to take place October 16 in Phoenix, and will be attended by local law enforcement CEOs, public safety commissioners and sheriffs from around the US and abroad.
To become a member of FBI-LEEDA applicants have to participate in a Command Institute for Law Enforcement Executives or the LEEDS training program at the FBI Academy or one of the twenty-three regional FBI Command Colleges located throughout the United States.
“By coming together as a law enforcement community, we have the ability to tackle this rapidly growing crime head on,” said Tom Stone, Executive Director of the FBI Law Enforcement Executive Development Association. “This summit is just the beginning. By joining together and opening avenues of communication, we gain the ability to share effective policing strategies and connect identity theft cases from several cities and states to ensure that these criminals get the punishments they deserve.”
As partners, Life Lock and FBI-LEEDA will host identity theft summits focused on neighborhood identity theft, employer losses, high-tech ID theft, as well as identity theft protection strategies, and the laws and databases law enforcement agencies can use to combat identity theft and related fraud.
The summit keynote speaker will be Special Agent Wayne Ivey from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. Ivey oversees FDLE’s identity theft task force and has handled more than $45 million in fraud cases since 2006. As an ID theft expert, Ivey has testified before the Florida legislature and the US Congress.
