CONNEXIONs

CONNEXIONs aims to develop and demonstrate next-generation detection, prediction, prevention, and investigation services. Its solution encompasses the entire lifecycle of law enforcement operations including:

pre-occurrence crime prediction and prevention;

during-occurrence LEA operations;

post-occurrence investigation, crime-scene simulation and 3D reconstruction.

CONNEXIONs will meaningfully enhance operational and (near) real-time situational awareness, through automated identification, interpretation, fusion, and correlation of multiple heterogeneous big data sources, as well as their delivery via immersive solutions. Such multimodal data include Surface/Deep/Dark Web and social media content in multiple languages, data acquired by Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and digital evidence.

CONNEXIONs will also provide chain-of-evidence and path-to-court for digital evidence. The Project will adopt ethics and privacy by-design principles and will be customizable to the legislation of each member state.

CONNEXIONs will be validated in field tests and demonstrations in 3 operational use cases:

counter-terrorism security in large scale public events;

human trafficking investigations and mitigation;

crime investigation and training through 3D scene reconstruction.

Extensive training of LEAs’ personnel, hands-on experience, joint exercises, and training material will boost the uptake of CONNEXIONs tools and technologies. With a Consortium of 8 Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) from 7 European countries, 5 Research/Academic partners, and 4 industry partners, CONNEXIONs delivers a strong representation of the challenges, requirements and tools to meet its objectives.
