Current Trends in Document Fraud

Date(s): 2/23/22

Intruction by: NJ Motor Vehicle Commission
Register Now

​

This course will assist law enforcement (Patrol Officers as well as Detectives) with training that will enhance their ability to recognize and identify the universe of identity-related documents issued by and relied upon by the NJ MVC. With emerging technology it has become increasingly difficult to identify fraudulent documents. Students will learn what tools are available to assist them in identifying counterfeit documents by providing “hands on" training and experience in the recognition of fraud as it pertains to documents such as: driver licenses, redesigned 2017 permanent resident cards, redesigned 2017 employment authorization cards, “Next Generation" passports and Social Security cards. Participants will learn the newest trends in counterfeiting of identity documents by “on-line" manufacturers, which has become increasingly common due to the ease in obtaining access to previously unpublished document security technology. The latest trend involves a significant increase in the counterfeiting of driver's licenses from Puerto Rico. This course will also identify the differences between counterfeit and genuine NJ inspection stickers, temporary registrations and certificates of title.

 

In addition, this class will review facial recognition technology as it is used by the Motor Vehicle Commission on all images captured as well as the process that is used with the submission of a photo for a “manual upload". Of paramount importance is a cutting edge investigative tool available to law enforcement at the New Jersey Regional Operations Intelligence Center (ROIC). Known as the “Facial Recognition Initiative", this technology utilizes the Photo Imaging Mugshot System maintained by the New York/New Jersey “HIDTA" program. Along with the instruction, the students will receive a booklet with the totality of the identity document safety features, a “cheat sheet" with the 50 states driver's license ID features and an asset sheet listing all of the investigative support services available through the MVC to law enforcement for future reference.  ​

​

This two-day basic course is designed for examiners/investigators and demonstrates methodologies and techniques used to recover video evidence from Digital Video Recorders and cloud-based systems. It is intended for those new to the field of digital multimedia evidence (DME). Students learn the concepts of video forensics and garner skills needed to process recoverable evidence from video images.

 

The increased use of digital video systems by the general public has made digital multimedia evidence (DME) a significant and integral part of modern criminal and civil investigations. Since there is no standard video recording system in use, the need for trained individuals who know how to properly recover this type of evidence has increased. Properly acquiring DME is crucial, as all other processes or use of the video are impacted by the accuracy of the recovery. This course introduces and provides a fundamental understanding of DME, introduces the types of systems likely to be encountered, discusses legal issues related to DME, and focuses on the proper recovery of DME. The public expectation today is that if a crime occurs, there will be video/audio of the incident. There is a significant, specific skill set that investigators need to PROPERLY handle and process the digital multimedia evidence that gets collected. If the DME is not handled and processed carefully, according to best practices, the video/audio might not be interpreted accurately.

 

Some goals and objectives of the class include:  Retrieving the best quality video evidence for an investigation; Editing video for investigative purposes; and Disseminating video to the public for lead generation.

 

Prerequisite: Students are expected to have an average skill level with computers such as: creating folders, saving files, navigating through the Windows environment, basic troubleshooting skills, installing software, etc. Basic computer skills are not taught in this course.​
