Effective lawful intelligence solutions do more than just ingest and analyze data. They build evidential narratives compelling enough for court that are backed by a fully auditable chain of custody.
Encryption and OTT apps limit the value of lawful eavesdropping tools like wiretaps, but mobile networks offer a powerful engine for new insights: real-time geographical awareness using high-accuracy location.
As with the broader missions of the law enforcement and intelligence communities, lawful intelligence must balance investigative rigor with the need to preserve privacy and other civil protections.
Lawful interception of voice by LEAs harkens back to a time when unencrypted phone calls over a wireline carrier network defined electronic communication. In the smartphone era, other methods have proliferated.
By gathering, collating, and drawing possible conclusions from all available information, AI and ML can act as resource multipliers for lawful and location intelligence, just as they do for network operations.
Codes and ciphers have long been used to hide communications, and the practice continues to evolve and become more sophisticated and widespread today. When the
While lawful interception is often thought to have begun with wiretapping, pen registers actually predate that practice and telephones themselves, having been developed during the
National border crossings provide unique touchpoints for lawful intelligence operations. Controls at a country’s points of ingress and egress require travelers to present identification, submit
As the scope of digital information generated by subjects and devices of interest continues to grow, law enforcement agencies (LEAs) must evolve their techniques for
Child abduction and trafficking is one of the most shocking crimes against society. Every parent has unfortunately had to consider the potential for their child
As communication service providers (CSPs) continue to build out 5G networks, standards-based infrastructure is replacing the proprietary interfaces, formats, and protocols of previous technology generations.
Most telecommunications carriers operate equipment from different generations of technology, and often have multiple vendor environment. Carriers can accrete these layers over time, as their
As unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) become more common, they are of growing interest to law enforcement agencies (LEAs). Drones have been widely adopted as part
As 5G networks roll out across the world, law enforcement agencies (LEAs) are being forced to reimagine investigation methods related to lawful intelligence. The types
The metadata that surrounds the data payloads for lawful intelligence intercepts has become as important as the payload data itself. Location data, for example, can
