Jewelry and Gem Program

  

Initiatives and Objectives

How does the FBI help the jewelry industry and police departments combat jewel thefts? Three main ways:

1. Operationally, our field offices coordinate cases that cross state lines…and our Legal Attache offices overseas coordinate cases that cross national boundaries.

2. We gather all theft information, reported by police and jewelry experts, into a Jewelry and Gem Crime Database that is accessible to all law enforcement over the FBI’s interactive Law Enforcement Online website.

3. We provide training and resources, as needed, to local police and jewelry professionals.

Our close partnerships with jewelry industry security experts--such as the Jewelers' Security Alliance, which represents the security concerns of approximately 20,000 retail jewelry stores, the Jewelers' Mutual Insurance Company, and the Gemological Institute of America—are crucial to the success of bringing thieves to justice and recovering stolen jewels.

Our close partnerships with police are crucial to combatting the increasingly violent victimization of jewelry retailers and traveling salespersons.
