CHALLENGE
EMERITUS aims to lay the foundations of a new generation of technological tools orchestrated via a single-entry point platform at the service of Law Enforcement Authorities (LEA) and Border Guards (BG) to improve detection and proof collection capabilities against waste-related environmental crimes.
SOLUTION
EMERITUS will create and implement a protocol for effective environmental crime investigation, which will combine innovative monitoring and analysis technologies with a complementary training programme to foster LEAs and BGs’ intelligence and investigation capabilities at both the national level and cross-border levels.
RESULTS
The expected impacts of EMERITUS are:
1) EMERITUS platform (consisting of external system connector, integration layer, data storage, processing component, dissemination layer, system extensions and real-time mission components)
2) Protocol for waste crimes investigation
3) Training programme for LEAs & BGs
4) Use case-based simulation exercises
5) EMERITUS community of practice
6) Evidence-based recommendations for decision/policy-makers
