House passes bill to equip local law enforcement with scam-fighting tools
The House passed the Guarding Unprotected Aging Retirees from Deception Act (GUARD) to provide local law enforcement with tools to investigate online scams. The bill targets a gap where cases like pig butchering fraud fall below the threshold for federal investigation but overwhelm local agencies lacking resources.
Why it matters: Local law enforcement, fraud victims, and aging populations affected by romance and investment scams need better investigative capabilities to address crimes that federal agencies do not prioritize.
