More than 10% of seniors in the United States are victims of  financial exploitation, including financial abuse by trusted family and  companions, as well as common scams.  The  National  White Collar Crime Center (NW3C), in collaboration with theUS DOJ  Elder Justice Initiative (EJI), are offering free training seminars to  law enforcement officers and front line responders to learn about the  investigation and prevention of financial exploitation involving senior  adults.  The one-day seminars promote a  multi-agency approach and includes information on working with senior victims,  examining documents like bank records and powers of attorney, and resources for  investigation and community awareness.   In addition, NW3C will also provide participants  with access to extensive online resources. If your agency or community group is interested in applying  or learning more about the NW3C’s Financial Crimes Against Seniors Seminar  (1-day course), please submit a short application to Shelly Jackson at shelly.l.jackson@usdoj.gov by July  1, 2017 with the following information: Name of the  law enforcement agency/organization with Point-of-Contact (POC) information;
