CIFAL Malaga - Emeritus-Training session (2nd show case)
Population
Arrière plan
One of the core outcomes of EMERITUS will be the creation of a training program for Police Authorities & other security practitioners focused on environmental crime investigation. The training program is based on 3 sessions delivered in Italy, Greece and Spain respectively. The training program is intended to improve LEAs/BGs’ specialized knowledge and practical experience in the use of advanced technologies such as drones and satellite images for forensic purposes, in line with a tailored investigation protocol. As such, the training program (>2 simulations exercised, 40h total training) will complement the EMERITUS platform as a core tool to empower LEA/BGs to use the tool in operative conditions. Noteworthy, during the project implementation, the training program will be tested and refined with the representatives of the partner LEAs/BGs, whose acquired knowledge will be certified by CIFAL Malaga-UNITAR.

Objectifs d'apprentissage
EMERITUS aims to create a single-entry point platform for law enforcement authorities and border guards to improve investigative proof collection capabilities against environmental waste crimes The focus of the project are the environmental crimes such as the discharge of substances into the air, water and soil as well as the shipping and trafficking of waste and hazardous materials that have enormous impacts on the climate, human health and the environment. However, these crimes are still considered highly profitable for criminals since most feature relatively low risks of detection and penalties for the perpetrators, given the complexity of preventing criminal wrongdoings and delivering distinct proofs to law courts to punish the authors.

Méthodologie
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. To do so, EMERITUS will create and implement a protocol for effective environmental crime investigation, Mainly combining innovative monitoring and analysis technologies with a complementary training program to foster LEAs and BGs’ intelligence and investigation capabilities at both the national level and cross-border levels. The ambition of EMERITUS is to explore and demonstrate how these technologies and specialized training could improve the efficiency of environmental crime detection and intelligent risk profiling to optimize resources, reduce the risk for operators, and provide a deterrent for offenders.
