In May of 2001, PRM and its prime contractor and teaming partner, MAXIMUS, were one of the winning bidders for the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), National Asset Forfeiture Program (NAFP) contract.   The MAXIMUS/PRM team was subsequently awarded a contract to provide financial investigative support to The Drug Enforcement Administration.   PRM was required to provide their field divisions with highly-qualified financial investigators to work side-by-side with agents and prosecutors to “follow the money” accumulated by highly-sophisticated criminal enterprises.  These experienced criminal investigators would then analyze the materials obtained by DEA to identify, seize, and ultimately forfeit criminally derived funds and the assets that can be traced to them. 

It was PRM’s responsibility to work with the client to identify expert financial investigators, shepherd them through the security clearance process, monitor their performance, ensure that they were paid in a timely fashion, and handle the myriad of administrative duties that come with this type of effort.  To date, PRM has provided financial experts to work in 23 field DEA offices.   In most cases the contracts renewed and expanded as new information was developed. In May of 2009 U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) re-awarded the contract to MAXIMUS. PRM continues to support MAXIMUS in the administration of this contract.

For the last ten years PRM has consistently supplied the DEA with outstanding personnel to fill a critical need the client had, to ensure that criminals would have their ill-gotten gains forfeited to the government.  PRM draws on its cadre of over 180 sub-contractors to meet the challenges posed by the client.  These experienced sub-contractors are primarily from the ranks of retired Federal agents from the Drug Enforcement Administration, Internal Revenue Service, Criminal Investigative Division and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).  In addition, PRM also has subject matter experts from the private sector among its pool of talented financial investigators.  

 Among the activities the PRM sub-contractors were called on to perform were the following:

• Analyzing financial records such as bank statements, deposits, letters of credit, Currency Transaction Reports and related records that are seized pursuant to Federal and state subpoenas and search warrants executed by the client
• Reviewing the above records to determine hidden assets and false statements that are used to hide criminally derived assets from investigators and to make the assets appear to be legitimate
• Utilizing the information obtained to prepare documentation for civil and criminal forfeiture matters
• Providing technical expertise in using various automated investigative systems such as Choice Point, Autotrak and other internet capabilities, including law enforcement databases to provide case support to the Government in civil and criminal forfeiture matters
• Documenting ownership of property, tracing the proceeds of criminal activity, creating a database from financial records to document the source of funds used to acquire targeted property, preparing seizure warrants, civil complaints and forfeiture counts
• Preparing exhibits on the source and ownership  of targeted property
• Documenting and cataloging evidence on the source and ownership of targeted property and in identifying, analyzing and documenting potential substitute assets
• Identifying the entities and individuals making deposits and all related bank accounts, properties, investments and any other assets that may be determined from the documentation
• Appearing, if called upon by the Government, to provide expert testimony regarding various financial investigative systems and documents produced by those systems
