A new training program is being offered in Massachusetts by the Securities Division to train the state’s law enforcement personnel on financial fraud and elder financial abuse.
Combating Elder Financial Abuse and Securities Fraud, according to the division, “highlights common schemes and hallmarks of financial abuse that harm older adults and other vulnerable populations.”
The free program, announced by Secretary of State William F. Galvin, the state’s top securities regulator, provides training and resources on how to recognize warning signs and report suspected problems to collaborating agencies such as the Massachusetts Securities Division.
