Anna Kostsovos, Chapter at Large Board Member

Anna Kotsovos has been involved in the field of intelligence analysis for over 17 years. She has
provided support for investigations in over 300 cases involving insurance fraud, financial crimes,
identity theft, organized crime, child neglect, vehicle theft, and homicides. In her role with the
National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB), Anna has had the privilege of collaborating with
numerous industry stakeholders, law enforcement partners, and prosecutors across the U.S.
Anna has worked on joint investigations between the NICB, insurance companies, and law
enforcement agencies from local, state, and federal entities including the FBI. In addition to
providing tactical support, Anna has authored papers on trends in fraud which are disseminated
to various audiences including the public. One of these reports was the impetus for a public
awareness campaign to prevent and reduce instances of theft of a particular vehicle component.
Anna is a subject matter expert in cellular telephone record analysis and other sources of techbased data, and developed the foundation for how the analytical results are presented. Anna has even provided testimony in civil and criminal court actions.

During her tenure with NICB, Anna has provided training and conference presentations to
thousands of private-sector and sworn investigators in the U.S., U.K., and Europe. She has
been a lead instructor and project manager for a week-long training for intelligence analysts that
the NICB developed nearly 15 years ago. Anna’s extensive network of contacts across the
globe has proven beneficial with her ability to develop agendas and coordinate speakers for
conferences for other trade groups.

Anna’s education background is unique with degrees and certificates in computer network
engineering, psychology, and intelligence analysis. Her love of training led to an opportunity to
become an adjunct instructor with Westwood College teaching Cybercrime, Medical Ethics, and
Psychology courses. Most recently, Anna joined the Homeland Security Training Institute at the
College of DuPage as a faculty member.

For over 25 years, Anna has been a licensed EMT once working full-time on an ambulance and
now provides first aid for special events on a contract basis. She has enjoyed being present at
various events from soundstages during a commercial shoot, to large scale obstacle races. Her
medical experience led her to joining the Medical Reserve Corp with the US Department of
Health and Human Services 10 years ago. In this role as an emergency preparedness
volunteer, Anna has assisted with deploying resources and enhancing resilience of local
jurisdictions. Anna recently became a Stop the Bleed instructor ensuring citizens can become
active participants in the well-being of the communities they live and work in.
In addition to InfraGard, Anna also holds memberships in numerous groups including the
International Association of Law Enforcement Intelligence Analysts, the International Association
of Special Investigation Units, and the Midwest Fraud Investigators Network, where she serves
on the board.

In 2011, Anna received the Analyst of the Year award from the International Association of
Special Investigation Units, and in 2016, she received the President’s Award in the analyst
category from the NICB.
