NICB President and CEO David Glawe to meet with IASIU President Celeste Dodson during IASIU Annual Conference

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB), the insurance industry's association dedicated to predicting, preventing, and prosecuting insurance crime, is continuing to strengthen its long standing partnership with the International Association of Special Investigation Units (IASIU). NICB President and CEO David Glawe will meet with IASIU President Celeste Dodson in San Diego to discuss emerging fraud trends and develop proactive solutions to address crimes impacting insurance policyholders.

On Monday, September 12 at 3:00 p.m. PT, Glawe and Dodson will reaffirm their organizations' joint mission to bring awareness during the IASIU Annual Conference in San Diego. As crime across the nation continues to increase, including the highest vehicle theft numbers since 2008, staggering catalytic converter thefts, and fraud exceeding $300 billion nationwide each year, California is experiencing some of the highest crime rates, and therefore, is the perfect place to address these issues.

"NICB is committed to our long partnership with IASIU," said Glawe. "Our partnership is organic in every sense, and is strengthened by our mutual mission of combatting insurance fraud and crime."

"NICB and IASIU's partnership is critical to our joint missions," said Dodson. "Together, we will continue to focus on advancing excellence in the insurance fraud fighting community through education, training, awareness, and connection."

NICB and IASIU will continue their valued partnership as they battle the ever-growing crime trends seen in the U.S. Using cutting-edge and predictive analysis, together, they will continue to evolve education, investigations, and fraud awareness as leaders in the industry.
