Introduction
|
|
|
|
| Every
law enforcement agency in New Jersey has
occasion to encounter or investigate some
aspect of insurance fraud. The Office of
the Insurance Fraud Prosecutor (OIFP) coordinates
investigations of insurance fraud with law
enforcement agencies at every level of government,
whether municipal, county, state or federal,
and facilitates avenues of communication
among these agencies in insurance fraud. |
|
|
|
| |
OIFP has also published and disseminated
to local police a publication known as the Uninsured
Motorist Identification Directory (UMID).
UMID provides information to enable local police
officers to verify the authenticity and current
validity of automobile insurance cards by making
direct contact with appropriate insurance company
personnel. |
|
| |
OIFP
has also assigned personnel to act as liaisons
to County Prosecutors' Offices and other law enforcement
agencies. OIFP’s County Prosecutor Liaison
has established and maintains a comprehensive
system for the coordination of referrals between
OIFP and County Prosecutors’ Offices. The
Prosecutor Liaison is responsible for overseeing
and administering the County Prosecutor Insurance
Fraud Reimbursement Program, conducting annual
training for assistant prosecutors and county
investigators, and meeting with County Prosecutors
and their staff to discuss reporting requirements
and the coordination of investigations. |

OIFP’s
Law Enforcement Liaison acts as OIFP’s representative
in coordinating OIFP’s activities with law
enforcement agencies at every level of government,
and in facilitating avenues of communication among
these agencies in the area of insurance fraud. |
