Division of Insurance Fraud

Crime Intelligence Analyst Unit

The Crime Intelligence Analyst Unit was established as an independent entity within the Division of Insurance Fraud in March, 2008. Under the supervision of Senior Management Analyst Supervisor Cherri Krall, four (4) Crime Intelligence Analyst Supervisors and twelve (12) Crime Intelligence Analysts are assigned to squads and field offices across the State of Florida.

Crime intelligence analysis focuses on the identification, apprehension and enrollment of offenders into the records management system. Crime Intelligence Analysts identify investigative leads regarding the relationships between entities of interest and the flow of commodities, money, events, and produce matrices, link charts, flow charts and other analytical products

The Crime Intelligence Analyst Unit must recognize the delicate balance between the individual rights of citizens and the legitimate needs of law enforcement. The Unit will perform all of its intelligence activities in a manner that is consistent with and upholds those rights, and in accordance with all user agreements.

The goal of the Division’s Crime Intelligence Analysts Unit is to apply its resources and coordinate with other units and divisions within the Department of Financial Services, and other law enforcement agencies to prevent and discourage fraudulent activities affecting the State of Florida. A primary objective is to develop strategic (long term) intelligence assessments designed to:

• Identify and maintain intelligence information on criminal activity or crime patterns, which are partially or wholly controlled by organized criminal factions.

• Identify and maintain information on individuals or organizations engaged in insurance fraud and financial crimes affecting the state of Florida

• Provide a continuous self-assessment of the crime intelligence function regarding its ability to effectively predict and manage criminal activity and recommend revisions, as needed.
