NWFIA Membership Application

The Northwest Check Investigators Association was founded in 1929 by ten ardent law enforcement officers who saw the possibility of curbing the ever increasing problem of bad check passing. The Association membership includes experienced investigators in all levels of law enforcement, banking and business; all working together in an effort to stop this million dollar racket. Information about “bad paper”, stolen credit cards, wanted persons and fraud is shared at each of the meetings by means of reports and visual aids. The Association’s purpose is to secure the full cooperation of all those interested in the location, apprehension, prosecution and conviction of all persons defrauding the public by means of passing forged, bogus or worthless checks and/or documents. On October 21, 1989, the name of the Association was changed to the Northwest Fraud Investigators Association to reflect the expanded responsibilities of our members.

The Association is governed by an Executive board composed of the most recent Past President, current President, five vice-president’s, Secretary and Treasurer. Meetings are presently held twice a year. Association membership dues are $25.00 per year. Upon payment of dues and the approval of the Executive Board or its designated representative, the following may qualify to become a member of the Association: any federal, state, provincial, county or municipal law enforcement officer or personnel; any bank officer or personnel, or any wholesale, retail, commercial or private business officer or personnel involved in the investigation of matters pertaining to the fraudulent use, manufacture or distribution of checks, credit cards, and/or worthless documents. Members may bring guests to the Association meetings, but in view of the sometimes confidential nature of the information discussed, it is urged that discretion be exercised. Those members who use the Association information for collection of debts shall be subject to expulsion from the Association upon a majority vote of the Executive Board.
