NW3C’s Investigative Support section provides timely, relevant and effective services to member agencies involved in the prevention, investigation and prosecution of economic and high-tech crimes.

The section has no investigative authority but can provide analytical assistance and perform public database searches.

Our analysts are frequently called upon to assist in establishing financial transaction patterns, developing possible links between criminal targets and associated criminal activity and providing link charts, timelines and graphs for court presentations. Information obtained through public database searches can assist investigations by locating suspects, establishing property ownership and finding hidden assets, just to name a few of the benefits.
