The gaming industry has been growing for decades. Criminals have noticed, too. So, in 2004, the Association of Law Enforcement Intelligence Units established the National Gambling Intelligence Sharing Group. The NGISG, comprised of law enforcement agencies from across the country, shares information and best practices for combatting gaming crime. These crimes include illegal online sports betting and money laundering. This Fall, the Florida Gaming Control Commission was honored to host the 2024 NGISG Fall Conference in Tallahassee, Florida. The Commission proudly welcomed fellow agents from Arizona, Iowa, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Washington. The Commission is grateful for the continued partnership with and support from the NGISG.
