Narcotics Related Financial Investigation – Advanced

Narcotics Related Financial Investigations Advance Training will add increased emphasis on similar topics raised in the basic program. In this program we will refresh the information in the previous course, but more importantly draw on the experience and knowledge of participants to expand on this knowledge base. Our training consists of 24 hours and is an advanced level course for criminal investigators, prosecutors, analysts, or support staff whose duties include the investigation and prosecution of narcotics-related crimes. This course will leverage the capabilities of those attending and in the various content areas described below augment the training material to raise the knowledge and capabilities of all attending. At the advanced level, there is an expectation that attendees have not only worked narcotics investigations but have also experience in the financial and business areas. We will seek to identify the newest and most frequent challenges from attendees as well as offer information that will augment current knowledge. The financial and business sectors criminals involved in exploiting business and finance include a range of techniques, such as the employment of gatekeepers, the use of fronts and shells, and the manipulation of international financial systems. Our course is designed to enable students to work with essential tools in the business and financial sectors and locate evidence essential to expand narcotics investigations with the identification of additional targets and asset forfeiture. As a result of the training, students will become more aware of the documentation and processes used in government, business, and finance, and their value in illicit finance analysis. Students will be able to effectively add to criminal investigations (in particular, specified unlawful activities) and support the prosecution of currency violations and money laundering. The target audience in this training is law enforcement officers, detectives, agents, supervisors, and analysts assigned to narcotics, gangs, human trafficking, or specialized units.
