This interactive course teaches the principles and techniques of the financial aspect of drug investigations. The course uses case scenarios that will teach the officer how to: conduct financial interviews, identify sources of financial information, utilize indirect methods of proving profitability in illegal enterprises, carry out financial undercover operations, and execute financial search warrants. Officers will be able to determine if money laundering and/or currency violations can assist them in expanding their prosecution base by adding additional targets. Officers will learn to employ techniques parallel to a normal drug investigation to solve open cases and identify future investigations.
Financial Investigative Techniques is a 3-day course. Instruction is broken down into the following blocks: Financial interviewing and recording, sources of financial information, domestic banking, and bank secrecy act/commercial reporting forms, financial profile, financial links, financial undercover operations, financial search warrants, and methods of laundering money.
