The members of ITAC believe aggressive investigation and prosecution of identity crime is critically important - to punish and deter identity thieves and to maintain public trust. ITAC contributed to the development of the report of President’s Identity Theft Task Force. “Combating Identity Theft: A Strategic Plan” cites ITAC’s data sharing agreement with law enforcement to support the task force recommendation that data sharing between the public and private sectors be enhanced to more effectively fight id crime.
ITAC President Anne Wallace frequently testifies and submits comment letters regarding information security, id theft and fraud. ITAC also promotes public awareness of law enforcement activities by highlighting trends and successes on its website.
ITAC supports law enforcement by:
Sharing information about id crimes
Public and private sector partnerships
Encouraging consumers to report id crimes
Training
Combating Identity Theft
