Project Summary The SAO will become proactive in the prevention, detection, investigation, and prosecution of mortgage fraus in Monroe County. Through this program, the SAO will: 1. Hold public educational meetings, forums, and seminars to educate as the to various forms of mortgage fraud, each specifically designed for the public at large, the real estate brokerage community, the mortgage lending community, and the title agencies. 2. Together with local banks and the Florida Keys Board of Realtors, prepare and distribute mortgage fraud detection and prevention educational brochures. (Prior to publication and distribution, a sample will be sent to FDLE for approval.) 3. Develop a joint educational program with the Monroe County Judiciary in order to train clerks of the court as to various forms of mortgage fraud evident in civil action and public records filings. 4. Sensitize the legal community, through seminars, and forums with the local Bar Association, 5. Solicit the cooperation of the real estate, lending and legal communities to prevent, detect and report mortgage fraud. 6. Develop and implement a mortgage fraud/foreclosure checklist with the Judges of the 16th Judicial Circuit that must be filed together with a civil complaint involving any relief concerning a mortgage, to alert the attorneys and the Court of potential mortgage fraud. First and foremost is the prevention of mortgage fraud before it happens. The SAO believes that a majority of mortgage fraud crimes can be eliminated solely through education and training. The crime prevention practitioner, with the assistance of all the investigators and prosecutors, will be responsible for developing the educational programs. State Attorney Ward recognizes that in order to restore stability in the economy, consumer confidence in the economic system must be restored. The reduction of this form of criminal activity will have a significant positive impact. It will also yield increased confidence in the functioning of our local, state and federal governmental agencies.
