    Description

    Guide scam survivors through reporting to law enforcement, advise on legal steps, and strengthen WeAFAR’s connections with police and regulatory agencies. Make a real impact with your expertise.

    Why It Matters:

    Scam victims often feel lost and powerless. By serving as a Law Enforcement Liaison, you provide vital guidance, connect survivors to the right authorities, and help ensure justice is accessible and fair. Your expertise directly empowers people affected by fraud and strengthens systemic accountability.

    Key Responsibilities

    • Advise the board and staff on effective engagement with law enforcement agencies.
    • Serve as a strategic connector between WeAFAR and law enforcement while protecting victims’ interests.
    • Collaborate with the Victim Intake Officer to identify cases that may require referral, without directly managing individual victims.
    • Offer insights into trends in financial crime investigations, helping shape prevention and support strategies.

    Ideal Background

    • Retired or current law enforcement professional with experience in fraud, financial crime, or cybercrime.
    • Skilled in communication, able to translate law enforcement processes into accessible guidance.
    • Passionate about victim-centered support and nonprofit mission alignment.

    Time Commitment

    • Advisory board role; approximately 5 hours per month, including board/advisory meetings and on-call guidance.
