Houston, Fort Hood and Galveston).
“Our men and women who are charged with investigating identity theft
cases and making arrests are working extremely hard to keep up with the
criminals executing the crimes,” said Todd Davis, LifeLock Chairman and
CEO. “If our training summits can provide them with additional knowledge
about the crime or about how criminals are actually stealing, and using,
the information, then we have been successful. We have some of the
nation’s finest investigators leading these free seminars, and so far,
I’m proud to say, more than 3,200 law enforcement officials from more
than 1,100 different agencies have completed the course.”
