Description
The Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services, in collaboration with the Washington/Baltimore High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA), is pleased to announce “UBER for Law Enforcement” training. This is the basic course of instruction for uniformed patrol officers, detectives, agents or investigators, covering the fundamental principles of criminal roadway interdiction of passenger and commercial motor vehicles.
With an average of over 15 million trips and deliveries a day and growing, Uber is one of the most widely used transportation companies in the world. While critical incidents and criminal activity involving Uber are a fractional percentage of overall trip volume, the billions of trips executed a year allow this comparable lightning strike to happen enough that law enforcement needs to understand the tools and support that Uber can provide to their investigations.
Uber's Law Enforcement Operations Team is dedicated to providing law enforcement training and education that will prepare them for the changing transportation landscape in their cities and jurisdictions. This presentation will impart insight into how Uber can assist them in their investigations.
Please join Danielle McDonald, Uber Law Enforcement Liaison Manager, for this course and hear about the resources that Uber can provide. This presentation will demonstrate what Uber is and the ridesharing business model, the data each trip generates, how investigators can obtain that data, how that data can be useful in a criminal investigation, and trends Uber has observed globally.
The objective is that the law enforcement officers in attendance are able to serve legal process, execute an emergency request, or make an inquiry through Uber's law enforcement portal. They will also be able to discuss various modus operandi that criminal elements might try to use in concert with an Uber trip or fraud scheme. Lastly, attendees will be able to identify the types of data to include in their inquiries and legal process that will be most relevant to support their investigations.
