The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Office of Justice Programs (OJP), Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) is seeking applications to provide training and technical assistance to law enforcement agencies to more effectively identify elder fraud victims, allowing law enforcement both to bring the fraudsters to justice and to connect those victims with available services. This program furthers the Department’s mission by combating elder fraud, preventing further harm to vulnerable victims, and making communities safer.
The goal of this program is to provide training and technical assistance to law enforcement agencies to more effectively identify elder fraud victims, allowing law enforcement both to bring the fraudsters to justice and to connect those victims with available services. This program will support the provision of training and technical assistance to both large and small law enforcement agencies in both urban and rural communities.
The objective in providing TTA is to achieve victims’ increased safety and well-being. The deliverable for this program is the creation of TTA services, followed by the provision of TTA, measured semiannually by TTA requests received, TTA requests delivered, type of TTA provided, number of persons trained, and other key data points.
