The Economic Crime Unit (ECU) investigates and prosecutes identity theft and other financial crimes. Through collaborative investigations, aggressive prosecution and fraud prevention community programs we hold offender accountable, while protecting the rights of victims.
Identity Theft

A relatively unknown concept in 2000, identity theft has become a household word in 2007. Identity theft describes a variety of criminal acts in which your personal and/or financial information is stolen and then your identity is used by another for their financial gain.

District Attorney Scott Storey has taken an aggressive approach to not only the investigation and prosecution of identity theft, but also the role of prevention. Storey says, "Even with our no-nonsense approach to these crimes, we will never be bullet proof. But with prevention practices in place, we can better protect ourselves."
