Counterfeiters are not regular day-shift workers. Officers need to be able to contact authorized brand representatives at any time to validate and assist with the situation at hand. We look to support the exchange of information and intelligence on a national basis for our partners in enforcement. Perhaps this can be achieved through a national database containing pertinent information, with front-line officers who can readily access such information as brand owner contact information, counsel of record, etc.
