U.S. County Jurisdictions:

The Sheriff's Department

 Sheriff's Department:

A Sheriff's Department has jurisdiction over unincorporated land, townships, and boroughs, and is hired by incorporated communities that cannot or do not choose to afford their own police department.

The vast majority of Sheriff Departments are seldom presented with complex financial fraud crimes.  However, Sheriffs overseeing counties containing major financial centers such as Los Angeles County do have some experience with fraud.  

Unless the fraud is entirely local to the community overseen by the Sheriff's Department, it is better to contact another fraud enforcement agency.

When to contact the Sheriff's Department:

When you have knowledge or evidence of a fraud in which both the victim(s) and the swindler(s) are located within the boundaries patrolled by the Sheriff's Department.

How to contact the Sheriff's Department:

>  If you reside within the stated community, the phone number will be found in your local phone book.

>  If you reside outside the community in question, you can contact your nearest Sheriff's Department and ask for the correct phone number.  Most Sheriff's Departments can be found online.

>  If you are not certain about the enforcement agency for a borough or township, call information and ask for the police department for that community.
