| Training: NOW ~ NEW ~ NEXT Continuous and current training and education continues to be the most efficient and effective method to prevent and identify sport compact related fraud. The majority of these types of fraudulent claims go undetected because of a lack of awareness as to what trends and scams are being perpetrated. Through proper knowledge one can prevent, discover or verify a fraudulent claim. To minimize losses due to job reassignments, new hires, and changes in trends, it is imperative for insurance companies and law enforcement to maintain comprehensive and contemporary training on a continual basis. We specialize in intensive classroom and field training courses on the latest auto theft & fraud trends. In addition to street racing related theft and fraud, we have Advanced and Alternative vehicle theft investigation courses using the latest techniques available. These workshops are intended for law enforcement, insurance companies, and other professionals dedicated to the fight against theft fraud.
Attendees will develop the Advanced Skills needed for Theft & Fraud Recognition through Comprehensive, Dependable & Contemporary training offered on the latest evolving trends effecting the insurance industry, law enforcement and the public! Auto theft task forces, patrol officers, claims managers, SIU, estimators, adjustors, underwriters...have continued to praise training offered by Mike Bender.
