The state of Washington ranks 17th nationwide with the most identity theft complaints filed to the FTC, according to its annual Consumer Sentinel Network report. The Spokane C.O.P.S (Community Oriented Policing Services) and LifeLock will host a free one-day training on Monday, April 11 open to chiefs, sheriffs, investigative supervisors, fraud unit investigators, patrol officers and community policing personnel.
