EmcienScout gives law enforcement agencies the unparalleled ability to leverage Open Source Intelligence, or OSINT, to identify sources of unrest, and to analyze and predict their behavior in real time. EmcienScout is purpose-built for law enforcement officials across units, including Gang Units, Terrorism/Criminal Extremism, Drug Enforcement/Narcotics, School Resource Officers, Property Crimes, Violent Crimes, and Executive Protection.
EmcienScout then identifies and geo-locates key influencers and their networks, telescoping into the kinds of connections and conversations that are cause for concern. With this revolutionary technology, Emcien Scout assesses and pinpoints potential threats to public safety.
Solution Features
EmcienScout identifies and provides insight into the intent of those at the center of criminal organizations. It also helps identify members of those organizations that might serve as witnesses or potential sources. EmcienScout’s automated correlation engine reveals critical connections to find the most influential sources of unrest in a network, even if those networks are not very “loud.”
EmcienScout’s geolocating capability allows you to easily cast a “net” over a specific location by simply dropping a pin on a map and then set a recording to monitor that area during a major event. The automatic correlation engine will then analyze streaming text and social media from that exact area, by country, state, city or even a specific neighborhood. Whether it’s a festival, outdoor concert, or sporting event, EmcienScout can proactively monitor and report on the streaming social media of event-attendees in the area as a public safety measure. In addition, EmcienScout will record for any period of time, automatically identifying and analyzing correlations, key words, and threats during a set period. EmcienScout acts as a tripwire, notifying a designated person by email when a pre-defined threat is identified. Review the recordings to see conversations displayed in the results timeline – you simply “scrub” back and forth in time.
Detectives are familiar with the slang associated with the crimes they investigate. Social media has developed its own slang – hashtags, mentions, retweets, likes, follows, etc. These terms are very valuable when searching social media. They often reveal the strongest connections between people because they are using the same slang. EmcienScout’s automatic correlation engine surfaces these terms for you. Enter a specific location on a map and the pattern detection engine will extract trending terms for you. At the same time, EmcienScout measures the overall sentiment of a search and the specific sentiment around a conversation.
