This week, hundreds of insurance company investigators, special agents, law enforcement officials, and other partners in (fighting) crime from across the nation and several other countries have descended on San Antonio, Texas for the International Association of Special Investigation Units' (IASIU) 26th annual seminar.

The diverse offering of educational workshops and networking events represents one of many mechanisms the non-profit organization uses to further investigator training and community outreach while supporting anti-fraud legislation. The ultimate goal of IASIU and its membership is to prevent and detect insurance fraud, which the Coalition Against Insurance Fraud projects to cost insurers and policyholders an excess of $80 billion each year.

In a special award ceremony held on Monday, IASIU recognized the investigative excellence of a select number of individuals who have gone above and beyond the call of duty, and whose tireless efforts and relentless pursuit of unraveling fraud have not only benefited the insurance industry but also society at large.
