The Financial Crimes Unit is comprised of one Sergeant, four Detectives and one Investigative Assistant/Field Evidence Technician. They are responsible for investigating identity theft, fraud, embezzlement and/or any major financial case crime, such as real estate fraud. Please refer to the Crime Prevention section of this Web site for information on how to protect yourself from the growing problem of identity theft.

The Financial Crimes Unit also has an in-house computer forensics lab, which allows the capability to conduct forensic exams on cellular telephones, computers, laptops, PDAs or any other compact, memory-based devices. Members of the Financial Crimes Unit also work in conjunction with other federal law enforcement agencies such as the U.S. Postal Inspector and the U.S. Customs Department.
