Red Flag 2026: Ring of Fire: Arson Prosecutions Program
March 9, 2026 - March 13, 2026
CASC’s Arson Investigation & Prosecution program is focused on all aspects of arson cases, including forensics, expert testimony, and legal aspects, and is focused on arson as a tool of fraud. This program combines prosecutors, Virginia State Police/BCI investigators, insurance company fraud investigators, and Virginia law enforcement investigators for a week of team training which includes ATF arson specialists and a “live burn” where students will witness and then examine a crime scene.
Lodging will be provided for attendees whose office is twenty-five miles (25) or more from the training venue. Meals for government employees will be reimbursed at state per diem rate. Mileage is NOT covered and will be the attendee’s responsibility. The program begins at noon on Monday, March 9, and ends at noon on Friday, March 13, 2026.
This program is a rotating program with other topics involving insurance fraud. Some, but not all, sessions will be repeated from previous “Red Flag” insurance fraud trainings. Previous attendees of other “Red Flag” insurance fraud programs (such as financial investigations and elder fraud) are welcome to attend.
