John Jimenez, Deputy Assistant Director, FBI: Understanding Fraudulent Trends in PPE Amidst the Pandemic.
We discuss fraud with Deputy Assistant Director John Jimenez of the FBI. During the coronavirus pandemic, chief procurement officials and their staff have been at the forefront in finding PPE and other critical items for their states. Unfortunately, due to the high demand and quick turnaround, fraud is at an all-time high. In this episode, we discuss the role state procurement has played in collecting PPE, fraud risk, mitigation techniques, the importance of reporting, and more! Welcome special guest, NASPO Director of Membership Engagement and Strategic Partnerships, Olivia Hook Frey, and 2020 NASPO President and CPO for the District of Columbia, George Schutter.
