Step 6: Law Enforcement Acts on Evidence—Not Emotion
It’s vital to engage law enforcement with a clear understanding of what they can and cannot do. Officers and agents will respond to verifiable evidence, not your pleas of outrage. This is why your forensic analysis report is so valuable—it changes your narrative to a data-based case file.
When you walk in with general screens, lots of emotive writing, or bubble diagrams depicting timelines, your case can look unsubstantiated or too complex. By contrast, if you show police a common pattern and a clear, traceable path of stolen funds, which is visually presented alongside a forensic report, police have something to act on.
Evidence is logged. Stories get sympathy. Only one leads to action.
Step 7: Law Enforcement Has a Duty—and Legal Liability
It’s important to recognize that victims of financial crime have rights, and law enforcement agencies have no choice but to investigate and manage cases appropriately. If law enforcement chooses to reject, ignore, or misrepresent information regarding a victim’s matter, it may subject themselves to an administrative risk, or liability.
- Not taking action on a verifiable crime when it is known, is tantamount to neglect of duty.
- Providing misdirection to victims will place law enforcement at risk for reputational harm to, or a complaint to, internal investigations.
- If law enforcement fails to act when there is a credible lead, such as that which was identified and emphasized in our forensic report governing your loss, there may also be civil or oversight repercussions.
You’re not asking for a favor – you are simply asserting your rights as a citizen of this country who fell victim to cyber crime. If you are met with hostility or a sense of being misled, make a record of everything. Consider looking for help from legal advisory services or victim advocacy services.
