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.
EMERITUS intends to generate technological and societal impacts with both a medium and long-term perspective. Indeed, on the one side EMERITUS will foster the uptake of state-of-the-art technologies for the investigation of environmental crimes (Platform). On the other side, it will improve the expertise of LEAs/BGs in this domain (training program) and facilitate the lawful court-proof collection of crime evidence (Protocol) and the cross-border and multidisciplinary collaboration (CoP). As such, EMERITUS will ultimately contribute to enhancing the prevention, detection, and deterrence of environmental crimes as well as evidence-based policymaking in this domain at national, cross-border, and international levels.

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.
