The session will provide tools for analyst and law enforcement to use. Including a new addition to the tools that was specifically designed with the analyst in mind. Todd can also get attendees registered as users if needed. Metals theft is an issue worldwide and in the United States. The price of Precious metals in catalytic converters has dropped and thefts of catalytic converters are lower but the catalytic converters are still being stolen in pockets. Copper prices hit an all time high in June. The telecommunications wire, EV Charging stations and other copper materials are being stolen as well as critical infrastructure is being damaged. Tractor trailers are being diverted when loaded with copper, Nickle and other metals. The loads are being delivered to alternate locations and stolen.

How do law enforcement focus on catching and preventing these thefts while working priority calls? This is a challenge across the US and Canada. The prevention and capture of the thieves begins with partnerships. The Recycled Materials Association (ReMA) is working to build these partnerships through education, relationship building and providing tools for law enforcement and analysts.

After attending the audience will have knowledge about the industry to include good and bad. They will understand the metals and prices of the metals and why the value is rising or falling. They will leave with an understanding of some of the cases and how the operations worked and how they can use this with their agencies. They will have a knowledge of tools which can assist in the capture of the thieve by gaining more DATA.
