Project description DEENESFRITPL Early warning/early action system to prevent organised crime and terrorism Organised crime (OC) and terrorist groups are increasingly using information and communication technologies. This phenomenon, along with the diverse range of actors and factors involved, poses significant challenges for policymakers and law enforcement agencies (LEAs). The EU-funded COPKIT project will address those challenges by analysing, investigating, and preventing the use of these technologies by OC and terrorists. To that end, it will develop and apply an intelligence-led early warning/early action (EW/EA) system. Additionally, a toolkit for knowledge production and exploitation will be created. The project will also develop innovative curricula covering all aspects of the EW/EA methodology and ecosystem, facilitating its adoption by LEAs. Show the project objective Hide the project objective Objective "The COPKIT project addresses the problem of analysing, preventing, investigating and mitigating the use of new information and communication technologies by organised crime and terrorist groups. This question is a key challenge for policy-makers and LEAs due to the complexity of the phenomenon, the quantity of factors and actors involved, and the great set of criminal and terrorist technological activities in support of OC and terrorist actions. It is a clear VUCA world effect (volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity).EUROPOL who is involved in COPKIT as head of its Advisory Board, in this year’s SOCTA 2017 report ""Crime in the Age of Technology"" states that ""This is now, perhaps, the greatest challenge facing LEAs around the world"".COPKIT proposes an intelligence-led Early Warning (EW) / Early Action (EA) system, directly related to the methodological approach used by EUROPOL in SOCTA. “Intelligence-led policing” offers a framework to guide operations, prioritizing needs and optimizing resources. EW explain how crimes are evolving, identifying ""weak signals"", warnings, new trends, and being a basis for assisting decision makers, both strategic and operational levels, in order to develop EA (preparedness, mitigation, prevention and other security policies).Our project, with 18 European organizations from 13 countries participating (9 of them LEAs from 8 countries, one of them leader of EMPACT firearms) and with EUROPOL leading support, aims to create such a technological intelligence and knowledge ecosystem for LEAs, to fight OCT.COPKIT will comprise several phases: (1) developing and applying a EW/EA system and applying it to use-cases, (2) developing a toolkit for knowledge production and exploitation, tested by LEAs in their premises, (3) ensuring respects to EU legal and ethical principles, (4) developing innovative curricula for all aspects of the EW/EA methodology and eco-system to facilitate the uptake by LEAs."
