Last month, hundreds of insurance company investigators, special agents, law enforcement officials, and other partners in (fighting) crime from across the nation and several other countries gathered in San Antonio, Texas for the International Association of Special Investigation Units (IASIU) 26th annual seminar.
This educational offering 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 (CAIF) projects to cost insurers and policyholders an excess of $80 billion each year.
During a ceremony held on Sept. 12, IASIU recognized 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. David J. Rioux, vice president of corporate security at Erie Insurance and IASIU president, enlisted the help of fellow board members to distribute the 2011 awards in four categories: outstanding service, public service, analyst of the year, and investigator of the year.
