Across the U.S. state and local law enforcement agencies are leading complex asset seizure investigations, often facing limited resources, evolving threats, and a maze of jurisdictional challenges. It's no secret - seizing assets is hard.

This exclusive session will surface real-world lessons from experienced practitioners in the field, highlight what’s working in active cases, and spark an honest conversation about shared frustrations, roadblocks, and lessons learned.

Designed for state and local law enforcement professionals, this webinar will explore:

  • Why seizing assets is so difficult
  • Common obstacles slowing down seizure efforts
  • Practical approaches agencies use to progress asset recovery efforts
