Summary
Scam centers conceal their operations behind legitimate fronts and shift locations to evade detection, making them both elusive and resource-intensive to track. The Cornerstone Platform overcomes these challenges by integrating wireless reconnaissance with physical surveillance data, enabling law enforcement to rapidly identify, verify, and disrupt illicit operations with precision.
Challenge
Scam centers are difficult to locate because they often operate within legitimate-looking businesses such as hotels and casinos, making them visually indistinguishable from lawful operations. Their fortified structures and frequent relocations frustrate traditional surveillance methods. Weak regulatory oversight and possible complicity from local actors further shield these operations. This combination of mobility, concealment, and systemic tolerance creates a complex, resource-intensive environment for detection and enforcement.
Solution
The Cornerstone Platform supports law enforcement and anti-trafficking efforts by providing high-resolution mapping of suspicious wireless activity and surveillance indicators. By integrating field reconnaissance with sensor and signal data, the platform enables investigators to pinpoint, validate, and respond to illicit compound operations. Its real-time dashboards and data-sharing tools accelerate cross-agency coordination and threat mitigation.
