Counterfeit Document Recognition

Have you ever had contact with someone and obtained their identification? Many of us have on a daily basis, but how did you know if the identity document was real? This course of instruction reviews basic security features on identity documents from the United States, Mexico, and other countries.

• We discuss what and where these features come from (standards) and how local, state, and federal laws apply when a counterfeit document is found.
• We cover documents the officer could see daily which include the Kansas and Missouri license, social security card, immigration documents and passports.
• We review key points for identity theft investigations and contacts the officer can use to confirm the authenticity of the document.
• Real and counterfeit documents allow each student to observe those with real and missing security features.
• Handouts are given to each student to be used as reference materials after they leave the classroom.
