A former Chief of Police has created numismaticcrimes.org, an information center for law enforcement, dealers and collectors of coins. The site says NCIC has been active since 1987. The web site has only been up for two years and seems little-known.The news section lists robberies, provides tips, and there is also a warning that a coin thief has escaped from federal prison!
The resources section includes forms for collectors to use when inventorying collections and guides for law enforcement illustrating numismatic items like slabs, Whitman folders and 2x2s. There is a way to report numismatic crimes.
Those interested in helping law enforcement can fill out a form to become a Numismatic Expert for their region.
