Fraud Prevention & Security

• Identify discrepancies between documentation and information contained within internal systems.
• Follow established escalation procedures when information cannot be verified or potential fraud is identified.
• Protect sensitive client, vehicle, and business information.
• Support site security by ensuring established gate and vehicle-release procedures are consistently followed.
