Captain Bill Brown of the Minot Police Department will be the
featured speaker on the Northwest Art Center’s Lecture Series
Wednesday, January 20, discussing “Computer Crime.” The free public
lecture begins at 7:00 p.m. in Aleshire Theater, Minot State University.

Brown’s presentation will provide an overview of computer crime,
explaining common scams such as phishing, Nigerian and lottery scams,
and other types of illegal activity including pornography, cyber
stalking, hacking, harassment and identity theft. Brown will discuss
the challenges faced by law enforcement in fighting computer crime,
and will suggest ways computer users can safeguard their data.

Originally from New York, Brown moved to North Dakota while stationed
as a law enforcement specialist at Minot AFB. He continued his law
enforcement career with the Minot Police Department, working in every
division within the police department including patrol,
investigations and administration. In addition to his current duties
as the Commander of Administration for the Minot Police Department,
Captain Brown is an instructor for the ND Law Enforcement Training
Academy and the Minot State University Criminal Justice Department.

An informal reception will follow the program. Parking in campus lots
is unrestricted after 4 p.m.

This project is supported in part by a grant from the North Dakota
Council on the Arts, which receives funding from the state
legislature and the National Endowment for the Arts.
