Welcome. The more aware and educated we are on fraud the better we can assist the citizens of our city, and the more we can protect ourselves and loved ones. Fraud alerts and descriptions will be found here.

I'm Det. Lynn Weddle. I have been assigned with the Topeka Police Financial Crimes Unit since 1996. I haves been involved with over 800 financial cases on the State and Federal levels. I have been an educational speaker on White Collar and Financial Crimes since 1998 throughout the State of Kansas. Our police unit has been creating new ways to combat fraud and educate Topeka's Financial Community, Retail Community.

Although the scenarios of these crimes vary, they share a common attribute: the perpetrator is attempting to catch the consumer/victim off guard and gain by it.. Examples are endless in financial crimes. The types of fraud you will most likely see we will try and include here. If you have any questions on fraud you can email me at lweddle@topeka.org.
