Detective
Jack Carter, has been an incredible asset to the City of Sarasota
since the start of his career at the Sarasota Police Department
on February 2, 2000.
He has been solely responsible for the organization of a multiple
victim identity theft case which has so far yielded up to
34 victims. During this investigation, detectives were able
to intercept numerous illegally purchased packages slated
for delivery to suspects. The investigation has necessitated
the need for lengthy analytical work regarding suspect telephone
records and the need for Detective Carter to outline the complete
investigation on a spread sheet for assistance in indictment
and prosecution. This case also warranted the coordination
of work with the Federal US Postal Inspector in identifying
additional suspects.
Jack was also responsible for the investigation of a scheme
to defraud by a local art dealer. He began his thorough investigation
that included interviews of numerous witnesses both in the
US and as far as France. During the investigation, Detective
Carter discovered numerous other victims of similar facts.
One local victim had been defrauded of over $20,000.00 when
he purchased a counterfeit painting that had been presented
as an original. This led to the subject’s arrest on
numerous charges.
Not only has Jack been responsible for working so diligently
on difficult cases, he has gone above and beyond to educate
the general public on matters of identity theft and fraud
for citizen groups and civic organizations. He has coordinated
efforts to have local bank representatives provide free training
to detectives and officers regarding mortgage fraud and scams.
Detective Carter’s superior work ethic, “can do”
attitude and dedication to duty make him an invaluable asset
to this department and the community. Congratulations!
