LifeLock and FBI-LEEDA Bring Identity Theft Education to Brevard County

Sheriff Wayne Ivey to Host Free Training for Law Enforcement

Tempe, Ariz. February 21st 2013 — According to CBS Miami, federal prosecutors say South Florida remains one of the worst places in the country for identity theft. LifeLock, Inc., an industry leader in proactive identity theft protection, and the FBI Law Enforcement Executive Development Association (FBI-LEEDA) will provide a free, one-day identity theft summit for local law enforcement officials in Florida. This award-winning educational summit marks the 120th training to be held since October 2008. This milestone training will be hosted by Sheriff Wayne Ivey and the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office on February 21. Ivey was instrumental in the development of the LifeLock/FBI-LEEDA law enforcement training program from 2008-2011.

The summit will occur just as the 2012 tax season begins with the IRS issuing an apology to identity theft victims, now scammed taxpayers, regarding the length of time it takes for them to obtain their legitimate refunds back.

"LifeLock's longstanding partnership with FBI-LEEDA provides attendees an in-depth, behind the scenes look at the crime of identity theft. These summits demonstrate the scope of the crime and provide law enforcement with proven investigative techniques," said Todd Davis, LifeLock Chairman and CEO.

The course will provide law enforcement participants with hands-on experience with the various tools being utilized by identity thieves. Participants will hear from law enforcement officials, local prosecutors, as well as experts in the field of peer-to-peer networking.
