Training Delivery - Webinar

In recent years, communities across the country have experienced substantial increases in gun violence. While some cities have made progress in reducing these crimes, pressing concerns remain for residents, community and business leaders, law enforcement and city officials, prosecutors, public health providers, and more. In response to these concerns, the United States Department of Justice launched the Violent Crime Reduction Roadmap (Roadmap).

The NDCAC is a national center established under the Department of Justice designed to help facilitate technical knowledge management, to foster the sharing of solutions and know-how among law enforcement agencies. Their mission is to strengthen law enforcement's relationships with the communications industry, leverage/share the collective technical knowledge and resources of the law enforcement community, and address challenges posed to law enforcement by advanced communications services and technologies. This one-hour webinar will introduce you to the many resources available through the NDCAC to include technical solutions, training, investigative tools (social media search warrant parsers and open-source searches), and analytics.

In 2011, FBI agents were concluding a routine liaison visit with officials at DuPont Pioneer's offices near Des Moines, Iowa when one of the agents asked if company officials had any unusual activity recently. Specifically, they were looking for anything that may involve targeting the company's intellectual property (IP). The company official subsequently detailed a recent incident where an Asian male had been found digging in one of their grower fields. Grower fields operate like laboratories where companies can test their products. This happenstance piece of information from a routine public/private sector outreach meeting would eventually lead agents on cat-and-mouse surveillance operations across the Midwest. It took them on a deep dive into the biotechnology of proprietary corn breeding. The case was dubbed "Operation Purple Maze," which was a successful Economic Espionage/Theft of Trade Secrets cases involving the theft of bio-engineered corn seed. Omaha FBI SA Militello will discuss the liaison between the FBI and private industry and their techniques and processes related to suspected IP theft investigations.
