Solving Environmental Crimes with Digital Intelligence
FORWARD
Protecting our environment is critical to our future. Environmental crimes not only affect the quality of air, water, and soil, threatening the survival of species and causing uncontrollable disasters and pandemics, but they also impose a security and safety threat and have a significant negative impact on development. Environmental crimes are directly linked to organized crime, terror, human trafficking, and money laundering.
At Cellebrite, we understand the importance of protecting our environment and we stand with our law enforcement agencies and organizations around the world in supporting their mission. In the pages that follow, you’ll find suggestions and solutions to meet the greatest environmental challenges in your mission to make a safer world.
SUPPORTING YOUR MISSION
Protecting our environment is more important today than ever before. Here are four goals that our partners have identified as being critical to their missions:
Gathering intelligence, responding to incidents, making arrests, and building cases are all key components of your role.
Having the right data accessible to the right people at the right time renders actionable intelligence that can expedite decision-making.
ENVIRONMENTAL CRIME IN A DIGITAL WORLD
Law enforcement agencies and organizations are tasked with preventing a wide variety of crimes relating to the environment:
Preventing illegal wildlife hunting, trade, and trafficking.
Halting the smuggling of ozone-depleting substances (ODS).
Fighting illicit trade of hazardous waste.
Facing the growing threat of illegal, unregulated, and unreported fishing.
Combating illegal logging and trade in forestry products.
Identifying related offences such as human trafficking, drug trafficking, passport fraud, corruption, money laundering, and murder.
DETECTING, TRACKING, AND APPREHENDING SUSPECTS REQUIRES FAST DECISION-MAKING
Since the world is more connected than ever, criminals are leveraging modern technology to commit crimes. Not only do law enforcement agencies provide a physical deterrent by stopping criminals and the illicit flow of illegal wildlife, logging, fishing, and waste, they also handle the digital aspects of the investigations, which are inherently linked to physical investigations.
When it comes to identifying and prosecuting environmental crimes, digital information from mobile devices, computers, tablets and more, can often be a critical piece in the investigative puzzle.
So, how do you cope with data deluge to take maximum advantage of the digital data available? Are you leveraging the value of digital data for your environmental investigations? Today, agencies and organizations are transforming the way they handle environmental investigations by utilizing Digital Intelligence across every aspect of the investigation process. Cellebrite is here to help accelerate your crucial work at every stage to drive your investigations forward.
THE POWER OF DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION
To ensure our environment remains safe, leading agencies of all types need to digitally transform. Here are three steps we have identified that provide a roadmap to success:
INTRODUCING DI FOR ENVIRONMENTAL CRIME
Cellebrite’s DI solutions help you achieve your investigative and intelligence mission of gaining trusted insights by leveraging your technological and organizational capabilities to make digital data more accessible, manageable, and actionable.
OUR DIGITAL INTELLIGENCE SOLUTION LEVERAGES THE SWEET SPOT BETWEEN YOUR TECHNOLOGICAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL CAPABILITIES.
ORGANIZATIONAL CAPABILITY: EMPOWER YOUR PEOPLE AND PROCESSES
Organizational capability refers to staff talent, professional development, collaboration, and measurement for continued improvement. Upskill your personnel to expertly handle digital evidence and empower your people to find crucial evidence in any scenario to build stronger cases.
Cellebrite helps create the right digital intelligence strategy for your team.
TECHNOLOGICAL CAPABILITY: LEVERAGE YOUR TECHNOLOGY STACK
Technology needs to work hand in hand with your existing tools in the field, on site, and across agencies. Tools that allow for collaboration between departments or task forces empower teams to find connections among seemingly unconnected people, places, and events to resolve environmental cases faster. We know that when team members are confident with using the most updated technology, the number of digital evidence sources they can access will grow.
Modern agencies leverage the power of Cellebrite’s comprehensive AI platform to fuel secure collaboration and analysis for informed decision-making.
Cellebrite’s digital intelligence solution enables your agency to access, manage, and analyze large volumes of digital evidence to modernize and centralize your entire workflow.
Our complete end-to-end solution enables fast, data-driven, decision-making and enhanced collaboration between all stakeholders – based on a unified Digital Intelligence platform.
1. ACCESS AND TRIAGE DATA IN THE FIELD
Access all data from all digital sources using the best tools to quickly unlock, extract, examine, and validate data. This will enable you to quickly assess the risk and make sound decisions in the field.
2. MANAGE WITHIN AND ACROSS AGENCIES AND ORGANIZATIONS
Manage your operational workflow, chain of custody, governance, and assets within a collaborative infrastructure. This will enable you to work with pre-defined watch lists, blacklists, white lists, and risk profiles to identify deconflictions and hits. Get this data from other law enforcement agencies and enforce standard operation procedures to optimize time to evidence with a solid chain of custody.
3. ANALYZE AT THE INVESTIGATION SITE
Leverage AI-powered analysis tools to connect the dots by visualizing journeys, surfacing key insights, and gaining actionable intelligence through an automated workflow.
Once you’ve accessed, managed, and analyzed the digital data, it’s time to connect the dots and map individual journeys. In today’s landscape, law enforcement agencies will be judged just as much for their usefulness as a bio-threat tool as for their security capability.
ACCELERATE TRANSFORMATION with professional services, including training, advisory, and advanced services.
CASE STUDY SPOTLIGHT
DI IN ACTION: TIGER POACHING SYNDICATE UNCOVERED
CHALLENGE
The Thai Department of National Parks was on a mission to protect their wildlife when they investigated what seemed like an illegal tiger trafficking incident. They initially looked to Cellebrite to analyze smartphone data from two suspects, but as the investigation progressed, they soon realized the value of gaining the complete picture.
RESULTS
The irrefutable digital evidence in this case located the tiger poaching path and identified their strategy. As a result, an entire tiger poaching syndicate was uncovered, and the leading coordinators were arrested and prosecuted. Due to the crucial discovery that this was a part of an organized crime effort, the Thai Department of National Parks was put on high alert for tiger hunters at large. Thanks to Cellebrite’s solution, the international tiger poaching operation was dismantled, saving these majestic animals from needless slaughter.
