Congratulations to U.S. Secret Service Agent Mark Nickerson on Receiving LBA's Law Enforcement Officer Distinguished Service Award
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
BATON ROUGE, LA—U.S. Secret Service Agent Mark Nickerson received LBA's Law Enforcement Officer Distinguished Service Award.
“Since Mark has joined the New Orleans U.S. Secret Service Field Office, he has been a tremendous asset to, not only Metairie Bank and myself, but other members of the Metropolitan Orleans Bank Security Association. Mark frequently attends MOBSA meetings and shares vital information to the New Orleans area financial institutions. Recently, Mark has been instrumental in assisting with unemployment and Economic Injury Disaster Loans fraud, not only for Metairie Bank, but for other local institutions. Metairie Bank has been able to return numerous payments related to unemployment and EIDL fraud. Mark is always an email or phone call away, and is very responsive and provides the necessary tools to guide us in making the right decisions to prevent fraud," said Monica Dupeire of Metairie Bank.
“Louisiana banks are fortunate to work with highly professional law enforcement officials as we all work to end financial crimes. The working relationship between the bankers and all levels of law enforcement is admirable. We appreciate what the bank security officers do in our banks and we thank the law enforcement officials for their support,” said Robert Taylor, LBA chief executive officer.
