The Economic Crimes Bureau investigates embezzlement, investment scams, forgeries, identity theft, insurance fraud and other schemes designed to steal money from unsuspecting victims. Among other investigative techniques, the Bureau works with law enforcement to identify victims, and also uses a data-driven system to review information contained in reports generated through the Federal Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, part of the United States Treasury Department. The Bureau reviews this information to identify identity theft and related crime patterns, and develops proactive methods to investigate such offenses
