The training is hosted by NW3C, an organization that provides a nationwide support system for law enforcement and regulatory agencies involved in the prevention, investigation, and prosecution of economic and high-tech crime.
In FY 2020, OVC awarded NW3C with funding to provide training and technical assistance to improve the identification of victims of identify elder fraud, detect schemes perpetrated against those victims to address potential further victimization, and provide an improved law enforcement response when a victim is identified.
Through an FY 2018 OVC grant, NW3C created the Victim-Centered Solutions to Elder Exploitation online course. This interactive, 10-module training guides professionals through promising practices to detect, respond to, and support victims of elder financial exploitation.
