US Secret Service Handwriting Analysis Specific Background
● My training as a special agent in the US Secret Service included the obtaining and analysis of handwriting exemplars in order to determine signature validity as part of my investigation
● As a special agent with the US Secret Service, my primary role in addition to protection was investigations related to signature forgeries, fraud, and counterfeiting of FRN, Treasury checks, and any financial documentation which included a handwritten signature(s)
● My investigative role in these types of investigations was to identify fraudulent signatures by suspects found to be in possession of such documents and to compare true signatures of victims to false ones displayed on such documents
● While in the US Secret Service I conducted numerous fraud and forgery investigations related to counterfeit checks, forged signatures. This included investigation of signature forgeries of bank, personal and government checks; identity theft using forged government IDs, and forgeries of other legal or financial documentation
