Insurance Fraud: Discussion
Mr. John Twomey:
We will always initiate an investigation of a crime on the basis of a complaint. We have to have a statement of complaint. There are some cases where we have become aware of information ourselves. In those cases we will go and investigate. Primarily, however, the simple method for investigating a complaint involves a complaint being made to us. There are opportunities and times, however, where we will pursue evidence and information that we come across ourselves. A balance needs to be maintained between complaints being made to us and anonymous complaints.
