Investigative Consultants has been on the forefront of enlisting the assistance of various entities in our efforts to combat piracy and counterfeiting on behalf of our clients. We have been asked to participate on numerous different taskforces that have been comprised of various agencies based on the training we have provided. Our team understands that counterfeiting and piracy are intertwined with various other crimes that affect the community. We understand the need to educate the public and law enforcement officials about the “big picture” of intellectual property crimes and the affects these crimes have on our communities.

Investigative Consultants was instrumental in assisting with the organization of the Los Angeles Counterfeiting and Piracy Taskforce that was formed in 2007. Investigative Consultants assisted in the first taskforce action that resulted in a multi-agency Law Enforcement action that netted the recovery of over 10 million dollars in counterfeit and pirated merchandise and the arrests of 26 people in one day.

The IC Team has also assisted in organizing Intellectual Property Taskforces in the states of Arizona, Oregon, and Washington. These taskforces are compromised of both state and federal law enforcement agencies, who have come together to jointly combat intellectual property crimes.

Investigative Consultants realizes the importance of enlisting the assistance of all entities that may be involved in intellectual property and being a part of a wide-ranging and effective team.

The IC Team has trained over 10,000 people since 1996 in the methods of identifying counterfeit / pirated merchandise and conducting intellectual property investigations. The members of the IC Team have been called upon by numerous federal and state agencies to provide various types of training.

The IC Team can conduct training on behalf of any brand owner that has the desire to fully maximize their enforcement efforts and be on the forefront of educating law enforcement and other entities relating to their brand. We believe that proactive training and education is the key to any brand owner’s successful intellectual property enforcement program.

We can design and prepare all the training materials and the other necessary materials to conduct detailed and effective training. It is our belief that if a brand owner takes the time and effort to train others, the benefits will far outweigh the costs of conducting the training.

The IC Team has ongoing training programs in place at various Police Academies throughout California. The IC training programs have been certified in the past by P.O.S.T.

All  of  our  training  programs  have  been  designed  and  created  by  Kris  Buckner. Please feel free to contact us today to discuss your training needs.
