Law Enforcement

Members of law enforcement are an integral part of CIC’s efforts to prosecute and end coupon fraud. The CIC applauds the daily efforts behind these investigations. In fact, experience has shown that individuals involved in coupon fraud are often also caught in tax evasion, money laundering, food stamp fraud, and other offenses. These are not victimless crimes.

To assist with coupon fraud related investigations, CIC offers free services to law enforcement, including:

• An investigator’s / prosecutor’s manual
• Examples of legal documents to aid in investigations, including search warrants, indictments, media releases, plea agreements and more
• Liaison services with industry participants
• Coupon redemption reports
• Expert witnesses
• Additional support

CIC is very effective in pursuing coupon fraud. Prosecutors have been successful in ALL cases in which we’ve been involved. Contact us today to find out how we have helped other law enforcement agencies.
