With recent amendments to the Canadian Criminal Code creating new offences for identity theft and identity fraud, it is incumbent on law enforcement to take reports of such crime and to investigate them thoroughly. It is also incumbent on law enforcement to assist victims by providing appropriate advice and referrals. This Manual is designed to support and strengthen the understanding of Canadian law enforcement officers, investigators, prosecutors and policy-makers about victims of identity related crime, so as to better assist victims of these types of crimes and ultimately to reduce the incidence and impact of such crimes. Improving law enforcement response to victims not only serves to help victims recover their reputations and prevent further damage, but it also contributes to the identification and prosecution of identity criminals. The manual includes six modules and several printable appendices for use by police officers and investigators in their daily operations. It is designed to be useful both as a quick reference tool in specific cases and as a more detailed source of information for professional training purposes.
